Tuesday, Noon.

So, if you take a look at my word-count  I'm obviously behind. Way, way behind. I'm pulling an all nighter tonight and am going to shoot for 15,000. I'm going to try and hit 5000 before this so by 6am I'll be at 20,000. I have a babysitter for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, let's get this done! Wednesday should net me another 15,000, same with Thursday  putting me at 55,000. Friday will net 15,000... and I'll be done. Then comes editing...

11am Update

It's now 11am and my word count is up to 2647! I just did a 15 minute session with WriteOrDie and got 800 words!! My back is sore from sleeping strange last night, so I'm going to take a bath and then have lunch. Writing will resume at noon.

About/Intro

I've made a crazy decision within the past few weeks. I've decided to self publish many novels under a few different pen names, one each month. I don't know if I'll make a lot of money doing it, but all I need to make is $400 a month, which I'm already making from self-published shorts. My plan is to take one week out of each month to pound out the novel, writing about 10 hours or so a day. I know it's CRAZY, but I think it'll be fun.

Today is day one writing the first novel for this year. I've chosen to write a new adult romance novel. I'm getting a late start - it's already 9am - but using WriteOrDie I've gotten 1081 words in 20 minutes. Not too shabby, eh? I plan on picking back up in about 15 minutes and writing until about 1130am when I have lunch. I'll be back at it from 12-230. Then I'll have a break until 10pm-10am, where I'm pulling a marathon all-nighter which I expect to net me about 24,000 words. All told, I should have around 30,000 words by tomorrow morning at 10.
