So my revised target for writing this year has been to start each new month with more words than I finished that month the previous year with. Largely due to the fic part of my writing brain having unlocked itself back in July I have been solidly making that target since then. This month however was always going to be a challenge because, well, last November I wrote nearly 13,000 words. However, while I did not come anywhere close to that I will be starting November with 6000 words more than I started last November with - which given that my monthly target is around 6300 words, feels true to target.



Once again I'll be doing mini_wrimo with a target of 250 words a day. (Signups are still open if you're doing a writing challenge this month and think it might be useful.) I'm also doing Nablopomo as usual, so between here, my film blog and my food blog I'm planning to blog every day. (We'll see!) I'm giving myself an overall target for this month of 10,000 words with a stretch goal of 15,000. Given that according to my spreadsheet my daily target for this month is 333 words a day (which has a pleasing ring to it) I should really have signed up for that, but that would require me remembering to put the figures in the spreadsheet before signing up and I did not do that. Also I know from experience that 250 words is sustainable over the month so why set myself up to fail?



Also, I am now on holiday from work for a fortnight. I very much need it. *basks*
