NYR Draft Complete!

[foxinthestars]

Yay! I have a complete draft of the New Year's Resolution story I wanted to do! Details are classified at this point, but there was a treat I considered doing during Yuletide; I swore off doing treats to focus on my main assignment (it was a good decision), but the bunny wouldn't leave, so here we are. I'm pretty pleased!

I think I'll read it through one more time this evening. Then, since I'm not on a strict deadline, I think it would be good to let it rest for a few days or a week and go over it again, then I'll try to find a beta. Whether I'll have enough self-control to wait, we'll see...

(Also, many thanks to the person who did some recon for me! They know who they are.)

Go go go! I have...maybe half of a NYR story written? I keep getting distracted by wanting to back and edit the first half, though I know I need to press on and at least get the rest of the story's dialogue down before I start revising in earnest.

Cool!

Myself, recently I've been having luck with modest daily word-count goals, like 300-500 new words a day. I have to be really gentle with myself about it, like adjust downward if it feels like a strain and not punish myself if I miss or it becomes de-motivating, but it's been working pretty well.

I also found a group that does online write-ins with sprints, so the peer support helps.
