Only on myself, obviously.

[livejournal.com profile] chaostheoryand I had a write-in last night, and I added 3k to SILVER KISS, as evidenced below:


 
30218 / 60000 words. 50% done!

I'm a week behind my self-imposed deadline as last week I was frantically working on something else. Don't want to say much as I'm not confident about the outcome, but an opportunity came along that I couldn't say no to. With that in mind, I quietly pleased at how SILVER KISS is coming along, and hope I can make my goal of finishing the first draft by late July/early August.

I also managed 400 words on a submission for Samhain's 2010 Angels and Demons anthology:


 
2015 / 20000 words. 10% done!

The deadline for this isn't until November, so I can afford to take it slowly for a bit, but I'd love to get it in well before the deadline. Sigh. Another reason to reconsider the day job... They really are mounting up.

ETA: My long-time friend and writing buddy [livejournal.com profile] laburton is self-publishing her first novel, STORM OF MAGICK, this summer, and she's just unveiled the cover. Go take a look - it's gorgeous!

Those colourful word meters look really nice. :) Congrats on getting so many words done. I'm with you on being behind with your self-imposed goals/deadline. It's how I've been all week.

Oh, and your friend's cover is really nice, too!

The word meters make me feel like I'm actually making progress :) Hopefully this week I can catch up on the lost time from last week.

LOL!!

Hey you! Don't stay away so long next time :)

I found the details for the anthology on someone else's livejournal and couldn't resist. Hoping to get a first draft done in the next few months ready for the November deadline.
