7 Days of the Plan!

So I started this plan 7 days ago to write 250 words a day. This is in an effort to have a first draft done by October. I started this challenge with 15,159 words already in.
As of today, I have 6,136. That’s 6,136 in 7 days. If it wasn’t for a day job, that might be higher.
What’s more exciting is that I am over 20K words in total. (21,295 to be exact.) That is literally half of a novel!
So I’m excited…
At this pace, the first draft could be in editing mode by mid-July.

The Plan - Day 6

So I am focusing on the first story.  Using my plan to write 250 words a day, I have added over 2,800 words since the 21st.  Not bad.

The first story is now close to 18,000 words. That is approximately halfway to an actual novel.

I may actually be 30-40 days ahead of schedule!

A plan!

So, I have a plan.

Ray Bradbury once said that he wrote a minimum of 1,000 words a day.  I thought about trying this.  Actually did try it once.  It's harder than it sounds.

Plus, I work 5-6 days a week.

So, instead, I am setting a target goal of 250 a day.  250 a day means that it would take 120 days or 4 months to finish the first book.  That would be 30,000 words added to the 11,000 I already have.  So, in other words a full novel.

Let's see how long this goes on...

I made a website!

So, I made a Website.  Correction.  I'm making a website.

Maybe stuff will happen there.  Maybe....

Father's Day and Thrifting Books

So since it's Father's Day, I have to say Happy Father's Day to my father, published horror author, Joseph Inzirillo.  

(You can find his books here...  https://www.amazon.com/Joseph-Inzirillo/e/B018EK5LJW/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_2?qid=1497852172&sr=8-2)

You can also find him at http://www.talesofoccult.com/bio.htm

He's a great guy and he's a great writer, so even though I'm biased because he's my father, you should still check his works out!

The Meeting is my favorite.

I haven't really been writing...  I have been reading.  I've also been putting together my writing workspace.  So there's that.

Oh yeah, I'm also an addict to thrift stores, Goodwill, Value Village and Used Bookstores.

Today, I scored 4 Discworld books I didn't have as well a Christopher Moore.

So that's that.

E3, John Scalzi and The enormity of a Universe

So, E3...  Bethesda...  What I got? TES: Legends is coming to my phone with some Skyrim.  Fallout 4 VR, which I am on the fence about and Wolfenstein...  I think I want the new Wolfenstein.

This partially means more distractions when I should be writing...

What I didn't get?  Starfield.  Fallout 5.  TES: VI.

On other subjects:

I skipped over every other book I'm reading to read John Scazli's Lock In.  Let's say that I am a huge fan of Scalzi.

And finally...

Building a Universe is painful.  It's almost overwhelming.  Trying to keep details straight is proving to be complicated.  I think I need a bulletin board.

So that's where I'm at.
