Novel Countdown Update! One Week to Go!

So like the title says I am one week away from finishing Deadly Caress! I'm extremely excited to be finished. This past week I got four chapters finished instead of just three. I'd planned to work from Tuesday to Saturday and then give myself a break, but life happens and I've been kind of sick so it took be until Monday to finish. But in that time I got 15,000 words writing! So I've started writing for this final stretch today and I'm going to be done Friday if nothing else happens. My word count for the entire manuscript right now is 90K and some change! Four more chapters to go!

Novel Countdown Update!!

Hey everyone! So I exceeded my goal of 7,000+ words for the week again, coming in at 11, 418 words!!! YAY! That's a little more than last time. I finished three more chapters and I'm that much closer to wrapping Deadly Caress up! So like last time, I started working on Tuesday and finished Friday. There was a lot of all-nighters and too many cups of coffee to count, but I'm on a roll. So I'm sure I'm going to be done by the last week in May. My word count now is 76,203 which means I'm about a quarter of the way done. I'm so excited to be wrapping up the story! The next fun part will be going back over and editing the crap out of it! More updates later this week!

Novel Countdown Update!

So I was supposed to start Friday May 4th and write until the following Friday when I would give an update on my progress. Well, I went out of town until Sunday and Monday I was wrung out so I didn't start until May 8th, but I got three chapters done from the 8th until the 11th and 11,370 words written which was about 4,000 more words than my minimum for the week! YAY! So I'm on the right track. I didn't get anything done this past Saturday and Sunday and it's slow going today, but I'm hoping for it to pick up tomorrow. So know my word count for my manuscript is at 64,649 words. I'm on my way! My next update day is Friday!

Novel Countdown Extravaganza!!!!

My last day of school is tomorrow! I'm really excited to be finished with this semester, but now my next challenge is upon me. Starting May 4th I'm doing a 45 day countdown to finish my Paranormal Romance novel, Deadly Caress. Right now I'm about 53,000 words in and I'm a little more than half way done. So I figure if I do AT LEAST 1,050 words a day, about 7,400 words a week, I'll be finished in my time frame. Of course this is just to finish it/ give it an ending, not have it done and edited in that time. So I'm going to post my word count every week and talk about my progress (and probably struggle) with reaching my goal. Wish me luck!
