Writing: Did the math this morning and realized I need to write 7,500 words a week if I want to keep on the schedule I've set for myself.

It's not impossible.

Did I mention I have a day job? *THWAPS SELF*

Oh...

For how long do you need to keep this schedule?

Till the end of March.

Or my head explodes. Really, it's a tossup.

It's really not impossible, but will require restructuring of my free time (such as it is).

As long as you leave Friday nights open for Game night... you'll need a break from writing, anyway!

I've done three months at that pace. It's manageable, though not exactly a barrel of monkeys. You'll be very glad when it's finished.

And hey, when you finish, Spring will be just around the corner. I always planned these marathons for Oct-Dec, which meant that holidays and at least one con got in the way.

Not to make things worse, but how soon afterwards do you need to start the next book?

Next book needs to be started soon-ish, but I can probably take a month off, maybe more.

I can stretch the actual writing out past March but that will cut into my time for revisions.

I've done this pace before so I know it's doable-- it just requires constant focus which is something that has been a tad lacking in recent weeks.

2000 words per day on weekends and 600 words per day on week days. Tough, but not impossible. Good luck!

I'd only need to do 1k a week day and 4.5k per day on weekends. O_O

Time to get to it, eh?
