A Novel Update

This summer I’m trying to write somewhere between 500 words and 3 pages a day, not including weekends. As of yesterday, I have about 140 pages in my manuscript (I just began chapter 13), and I’m guessing I’m about halfway done, but it’s hard to say. I’m glad I’m going to take a “plotting and scheming” class next week–I need a synopsis of my project and I can’t bring myself to write one on my own. Of course, it will all be up in the air until the first copy is printed, as I’ve heard. Other than writing, I’ve been reading a little and quilting a little, but mostly playing games like Zelda DS, Animal Crossing, and others. No matter how much I don’t want to, I will write… And as for blogging, I will try to do one or two per month, now. I think one per week was a little much. 🙂
