ROW80: Full Speed Ahead and Sod the Icebergs

This round is already shaping up to be my best effort yet.

I set myself the target of 750 words a day. This will have my second novel finished (the first draft) but Christmas. Thanks to some very impressive totals this week I am well and truly on target to meet this.

Monday: 1700

Tuesday: 750

Wednesday: 750

Thursday: 2017

Friday: 1936

Saturday: 537

Week Total: 7690

Granted, even I realize that the chance of me keeping that pace up over 11 + weeks is slim, but it has put me in a very good position, and I will be doing everything in my power to keep the weekly total high.

Of course not all of them will mak the final cut, and if I do not like the way a passage is going I will delete it and start again, so I am not writing words for the sake of hitting the target – As demonstrated by my 10,000 word deletion a few weeks ago.

On a side note, I was shocked last night when writing as all of a sudden, one of my characters died. Even I didn't see that one coming. I'm still not even sure how she died, all I know is that she lost a large portion of her head along the way.

With regards Highway to Hell, the paperback has been reviewed and approved, so any day now all 338 pages will be available from Amazon and via my createspace shop. I am so happy with how the final book looks. The price is $12.99 which is a little high but nothing too exterem in my opinion. Plus, from speaking to other writer friends the sales of paperbacks only makes up a very small percentage of the overall sales figures at the end of the month.

How are you doing so far this round?
