So this is particularly crazy, because I've never written this much in my life! I now have the first six chapters done, coming in to a total of 13905 words, when my goal for December was only 12500! This is so unexpected and amazing and it makes me happy to write again! I don't think I can convey how much this actually does for my self-esteem and general goals of being a published author one day- it makes me happier beyond belief and more hopeful than I've ever been.
Sand and Storm is flying from my fingers, even though Chapter Six was a bit rough, and I think it will only continue to go as smoothly for the rest of the month. I am a bit worried that when I start school again things will slow down, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
I guess I'll have to change my goal a bit. You might recall that my goal for the end of January was 27,500 words, and at the pace I've been going, this might be a reasonable goal for the end of the month, for me. So, my new goal is going to be at least 25,000 total for the month, with a hope for 27,500. I think I'll actually be able to get there. If I can get that many words done this month, then I can probably finish the novel by the end of May instead of the end of June!
Here's an updated plan, since I really like these things:
Then July, August, September, and October can be for editing and starting Smoke and Mirrors! Yay! I hope this works out!

Here's an updated plan, since I really like these things:
- December- 25,000
- January- 15,000 (total: 40,000)
- February- 14,500 (total: 54,500)
- March- 15,500 (total: 70,000)
- April- 30,000 (total: 100,000)
- May- the rest of the book
Then July, August, September, and October can be for editing and starting Smoke and Mirrors! Yay! I hope this works out!
