Writing, writing, and more writing
At the beginning of the year I set a goal to have 50,000 words in my book by LTUE (Life, The Universe, and Everything) which is on February 17th. So far I am 35,000 words and between work and tutoring I have next to no time. But for some crazy reason I have been writing a ton and the best conclusion I came up with is that I realized how much I'd have to sacrifice if I really want to do this. Apparently I want it pretty badly because I have been ignoring my friends (those of you on here you can testify), I have been ignoring my sister (which is even harder to ignore than my friends partly because she lives across the hall and partly because even if she didn't she would still be banging down my door to hang out), and my family. But bottom line is that I really want to see what I'm made of and I now have 11 days to write 15,000 words if I want to reach my goal. Everyone forgive me for ignoring you and wish me luck because for the next week and a half I will be doing writing, writing, and more writing.

Good luck! I've seen you more so far this year so I'm not feeling ignored :) I can't wait to read your book! By the way, I have a good friend who's an editor if you need someone.
ReplyDeleteLove you Jamie!! You're a rock star!
ReplyDeleteThanks, you guys are the best! So far it's looking good. I'll have another 3,000 knocked out by the end of the night and if I can get 3,000 more tomorrow I will for sure be able to reach my goal. Then I will have more time for friends. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Jamie - how is the writing coming along? Did you reach your goal for this weekend?
