Check out my writing vlog where I read Cycle Eight to my mom, finish my final story for the month, and prep a new cover!
Week five, our final week, went so well! Granted, my numbers are down a bit again, which makes me so thankful I had gotten so ahead during the first half of the month.
Stats aside, I was able to read Cycle Eight to my mom in one day. We powered through it since he was an asshole and neither of us liked him. Too bad he plays such an important part of her development. The great outcome was getting feedback on if he was too triggering or not. So far, the consensus is that he straddles that abusive line well.
I also finished my second Lishky short for the month. This one feels a bit all over the place, but that might just be my current mental state. I’ll know more when I read through and edit it. I also have my new cover for it…almost. I’m getting mixed feedback on my choices, below. Got any advice?
I’m also not such a fan of the blurb I have for it, too. At least I have something to work with though.
Finally, I was able to create the first part of the physical compendium for two of my betas who prefer physical copies. My husband should get his tomorrow, so I’ll post a pic of it on social media. I expect it to be a chonker.
Anyway, let’s look at my final numbers:
Week Five | July 25-31
Minutes Logged: 550/630
Minutes Ahead: 160 (Whoo!)
Words Written: 2,101
Since it’s the end, let me give you some overall totals:
July 2021
Minutes Logged: 2,950 / 2,790
Minutes Ahead: 160 (Whoo!)
Words Written: 11,020 / 7,750
This makes me so happy. I love when I can complete all of my goals for a month, especially for a nanowrimo month.
Let me know how your writing went this July in the comments below, and I’ll see y’all soon with more writing challenges and fun prompts.
