ROW80: My Goals

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have decided to throw my hat into the ring and participate in the second (and I hope all subsequent) rounds of ROW80 brought to you by the wonderfully talented Kait Nolan.

If figure the best way to start is to state my goals, put them out there for the world to read, so that there is then no more going back!!! (Yikes)

Well, my plan is actually quite simple. I have 107,000 word novel, I have edited about 10,000 words already and I want to have it finished by the end of this round. It sounds doable less than 1500 words a day, but with three kids running around it makes it difficult to find the time, but I will find it somewhere. I have to, I have stated my goals and I will meet them.

On the editing front, I happened to stumble across a web application the other day which has revolutionised my editing and has opened my eyes to the art of editing. EditMinion is an incredible site / tool and I throughly recommend it to anyone who either struggles with editing or simply wants to make sure that they have removed all those annoying prepositions and adverbs which invariably creep into our text at some point.

I have a lot more I wish I could say, but I must run… but fear not for I will return with posts and updates throughout the week. If you are also taking part in Round 2 I wish you good luck, and if you are not, then all I can say is good luck and hope to see you next time around.
