On to the report:
1) Write 25,000 words
Since last Sunday, I've written only 1542 words, for a total of 17066 this round. I was feeling pretty good about being on track for this goal last week, but my low word count this week makes me a little nervous. But, there is still a month left of the challenge, and I only have 7934 words to go. I can do this!
2) Post on Blog once a week - besides check-in posts
Not done. I really should have done this Friday, since I knew I wouldn't have time to do it this weekend, but after a scramble to change plans (my parents were originally going to come up here for the weekend, but couldn't find a hotel due to the University graduation - it all worked out fine, because I wanted to see my brother and his new house anyway, and they got some more time to work on stuff, but ever shifting plans kind of exhaust me), and a really long week at work, I was pretty exhausted and just wanted to watch TV. Then we went out for dinner and to see Iron Man 3 (which was awesome, by the way - more about that later). Long story short - no blog post.
3) Write first draft of short story
I actually made some progress on this this week! I pulled out the original idea (a 500 word thing I'd written for a writing prompt), read through it and started writing some new stuff. I'm a little stuck now though. I really loved the idea, and at the time I thought it was something I wanted to expand, but now that I've read through it again, I kind of like it as it is (with a little editing and polishing). I'll keep playing with it a little to see if I can expand it, but I may end up leaving it as flash fiction and moving on to something else.
4) Make progress on Last Words
More on the ghostly research front.
So that's all folks. I hope you all had a great week and made loads of progress on your goals!
