Finally Catching Up with Myself

After the amazing (and frankly psychotic pace) at which I put out the first book in the Secrets of Witches Trilogy a part of me decided that while I didn't want to take as much time as most authors would take to put out a sequel, I wasn't going to do it in four months again like I had with the first one. So I decided on a compromise. Giving myself from December until April 13th to finish the sequel. Which at the time was about four months. (Just for a first draft). The problem that I hadn't anticipated was that actually, I was extremely busy from December to February, putting out the first book. Working on edits throughout December and then dealing with formatting in the month of January then actually putting it out on February 12th. I was, extremely busy. So in reality, I only had from the third week in February to April 13th giving me roughly two months. Easy enough, I had finished the the first one in one month, it was a question of time management. So I pulled up my calendar and calculated how many words I would need to write per day in order to make my goal.



Unfortunately, for quite a few days now I haven't been keeping up with my goals. Or even coming close.

To put it into perspective, on Friday I was supposed to be at 42k words... I was still at 39 from several days previous. But last night that changed. Last night I got a great amount of inspiration and ended up reaching 43,131. Surpassing even Saturday's goal. I've finally caught up with myself, for now. But I need to keep going above my goals because in the long run I would like to finish the book before April giving me the entire month of April to do my own edits. Suffice it to say, I'm happy that I'm finally on track and I just hope I can continue on in this fashion.
