Happy Fourth of July, everyone!
Besides acknowledging my country's day of declared independence, I figured it was also a great opportunity for me to check-in with myself to see how I'm doing on my New Year's writing resolution/goals. Now that the year is officially HALF over (that was fast!), I need to see how I'm doing on this front.
So far, I have written 55,287 words since January 1st, 2015. For me, and I stress the word "me," this is pretty amazing. I've never written so many words within the first six months of any year, so that is an accomplishment. My goal is to reach a minimum of 93,000 words by the end of the year, so I can see that I'm already slightly more than half-way to that goal at the half-way point of the year, so I'm on-track to meet it.
Although, I admit I've been slacking off on my writing as of late. June was a horrendous month for me and I was sick with strep throat. I'm still trying to completely get over that, but I think I can get some writing done now. Hopefully, I can at least do that for the remainder of the week and I'll just have to see how next week shapes up.
Perhaps I'll check in with myself again at the 3/4-mark of the year. I suppose there's nothing like checking in on yourself to motivate you to keep up with your yearly goals.
How is everyone else doing with their yearly writing goals?
Happy 4th of July! You've done really well to have written that much. Especially considering its a first for you. I haven't been thinking about half the year being over but now that you mention it that's super scary! I haven't reached my half yearly goals but it's shaping out to be an interesting one regardless.
ReplyDelete@Lan: Thank you! It is scary to think that we have to dig in and really write, or we'll miss our goals this year. Time is flying by!
DeleteWoohoo! Congrats on getting 55k written! That's a huge accomplishment, and you should be so proud. Getting to 93k by the end of the year sounds very doable. Good luck! :)
ReplyDelete@Lexa: Thank you very much! I think of it as a big accomplishment for me, anyway. It's nothing to those really prolific authors, but for me, it's a first. Good luck to you, too, in your writing goals. :D
DeleteHappy Fourth!
ReplyDeleteSorry you had strep throat.
Over halfway - keep writing.
@Alex: Happy 4th to you, too! I am feeling better now, so thanks. I will keep writing as you instruct, sir. :D
DeleteI hope you had a good holiday and are better from the strep throat! You're doing awesome with your writing goal! Keep it up!
ReplyDelete@Cherie: I did have a good holiday--thanks! I hope you had a good one, too. :)
DeleteHey, that sounds like you've been pretty productive this year. Wish I could write that quickly. Good job!
ReplyDelete@Ken: Thanks! I don't feel like I write all that quickly, but it's nice to hear someone compliment me on my writing speed. :D
