Back In Novel Land

First, the good news:

1. I've tackled some major scenes this week, and I feel like I'm finally getting a foothold on FI again.

2. I've hit novel word count again -- hovering right around 70-75K now. Even more because there are bits I plan on pulling from the old novel, and I still have some handwritten stuff to type into the computer.

3. I've successfully met my goals for (checks calendar) four days now. I know it's not much, but it's something. I'm trying and at least succeeding to develop a schedule that I've been sticking to.

4. If I REALLY push it, I THINK I can finish the first draft by the end of June. It's going to take a miracle, but yeah, I think I can do it. (DO NOT LET ME SLACK! (g))


The Bad News:

1. My head is getting really muddled with all of the random scenes I've got going on. My timeline is a little screwy right now and I need to take a step back and make sure everything works together as is.

2. I'm still not happy with the first 30 pages, which means a rewrite is in the works.

3. I'm scared to death that this book is gonna suck.


My goals:

1. Tomorrow I'm going to take that step back and go through my scenes, organizing, and making sure everything lines up.

2. Keep writing -- stay in my routine. My motto: Push through.

3. Shut out all negative voices, including my own. (g)

Wish me luck!
