Well, it's the last week. I did not make it to my goal but I have decided to keep writing because I believe that I can possibly make it to 65,000/ 55,000 words in the next few weeks. I think that I will have plenty of time to do it over the next few weeks. I think that if I dedicate some more time on the weekends that I can at least make it to 55,000 words by at least February or early March. I know that I will probably get a bad grade on this project but I want all of you to at least know that

I have decided to bump my word count down from 65,000 words to 55,000 words because I am planning on proofreading it a lot over the next few weeks and making more arrangements to possibly publish the novel. I plan to keep on writing and making some more changes to the plot, characters, etc. These past few weeks have made it impossible to write anymore and I am going to try and write a lot more this weekend, making things a lot harder than expected. I am planning on making it to 55,000 words by at least tonight or tomorrow morning. I have the link to the rough draft in the "Press" tab. If any of you would like to make any sort of changes to the draft, please email me before doing them. Whether it is formatting or grammar, please just let me know before you correct the mistake. I am going to proofread everything before submitting all of this on Monday this week.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! I have tried to give myself more time to write but currently I have had to help with a lot of cooking, cleaning and preparation for Thanksgiving. Also, I went to visit some distant family in Surry County over the weekend and did not have any time to write at all. I have been STRESSED OUT these last few weeks with homework, family issues, etc. I am trying to see if we have anything planned for the coming week and I will try to make it to 30,000 words this week. As my dad says, "you never know what it's like until you actually get a true taste of it". I am trying to make a lot of progress. I am thinking of ending writing next
I have been making more progress but now that Thanksgiving is coming up in a week, I feel as if I will have to spend those 5 days writing over 4 hours per day. I think over the next few days to get writing done before Thanksgiving and Christmas, I will spend a LOT of my time writing. I will get home at about 4 each evening and just write until about 8 at night then try to get some writing done during FLEX Time or when I have free time in some of my classes. I have made a little progress but I will try to make more over the past few days.
I am running out of ideas for the plot and I feel drained from writing but I know I have to do it for most of my free time now. Email me with any questions! This week, I plan on doing the NaNoWriMo 50,000 word challenge this month and making more time for writing. I am planning on spending a lot more time writing than normal. Mondays through Thursdays, I will write at least two to three hours. Fridays through Sundays, I will spend over three to five hours writing and making more plot adjustments for this novel. It is very hard to write but I know that I will dedicate most of my time now writing when I have the chance to. More and more events and such keep coming up on the calendar but I know that when I am out of school, I will have a lot more time to write the book and make some adjustments to the plot of it.
I am currently coming up with a plan to devote more of my time to writing. I am thinking on the weekdays, Mondays through Thursdays, I am going to try to devote at least an hour to two hours writing. Then on Fridays, I will devote over three hours or more to writing which will mostly be at night since I will spend a lot of time with family and friends over the next few weeks. I will be posting as many updates about other aspects of my writing experience. I hope to see some feedback on this soon!
I now see that I may not have so much time to write anymore with a lot in my life that has happened. I try to write daily but I cannot due to some of the recent events that have happened. I have a lot of family issues right now and I have a HOSA competition coming up in the next few weeks that I have been preparing for. I have also been piled up with homework the past few days and will have to do my writing possibly during FLEX time or when I finish my work in other classes. I try to use my time wisely but sometimes, it can creep up on you and go by so quick that you don't have so much time to write anymore.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! I have been writing since Sunday night and I know that this is very challenging. I have to balance work, school and family issues on top of my writing. I have not wrote much this week because of homecoming and all of the family issues that have happened over the past few days. I try to write at least every day but sometimes, other events get in the way and I understand that now. I will try to make it to over 12,000 words by the end of this week before I go into the next few weeks to be able to make it to 65,000 words at the end of this rough draft.
