Planning the Year 2020
In the fourth quarter of the year, I am looking back on the past year and looking forward to the next year. Not much writing got done this week. I looked forward past the move and planned what I want to accomplish in the next four quarters, and even gave myself a year-long writing challenge.
My current projects include:
Project Forgotten, which has been written and edited once, still in the self-editing process. My goal for 2020 is to complete the editing processing and beta reader process and finish the year in the professional process of professional editing and cover design. I want to self publish this book in 2021.
Project Lost is currently being written. I want to complete the first draft writing during NaNoWriMo this November, then start editing, and end the year in the beat reading phase.
Project AON, currently in the world-building stage. This is the story I wanted to write during NaNoWriMo, but since my characters aren’t flush out and my world-building is not complete, want to work on this the remainder of the year and start writing this book series in January. My self-challenge is to write the four books in this series in one year. The series is all outlined, plotted, and beat sheet completed, it's just personalizing the characters and the world.
I have the four quarters divided up and mapped out how I want to complete my goals. Throughout the year, ill readjust the timeline depending on whether I am ahead or behind. The challenge portion is to write four books in one year, utterly at one book every three months. The books between 50 to 75k, using the high estimate of 75k, that's an average of 893 words a day, for the year. I got this I can do this. Oh boy!
