To wake up this morning.

I think I'd roused and was in the process of going back to sleep when the alarm went off.

That always leaves me feeling groggy.

At least it's Wednesday. The week is half over.

Hooray for short weeks!

Current Mood: groggy

One must have a plan.

Though, at this point, I think perhaps my plans are even more insane than my goals.

One of my 2006 goals was to complete six novels this year, and then I had three others I'd like to work on if there was time.

Well, I saw down today, and did some figuring (accountants like to figure, you know) and realized that 1,000,000 words, if I hit that goal was going to be MORE than the six novels I'd planned.

So, I started with today and a list of novels I'd like to work on this year, and I mapped the way through my year based on remaining words for each novel and the amount of words I'd planned to write every month.

Then, I added a few more words to my total word count, which would boost my per day count to 2,500 for several months. That's not too bad.

What I ended up with AMAZED me...and made me realize I'm probably more than a little crazy. But, if I managed to write 1,037,500 words for this year, here's what I could end up with:

Out of the Darkness	20,000 words	complete 1/12/06
Xanali	99,000 words	complete 2/26/06
Guardian Force	100,000 words	complete 4/04/06
Wildfire	32,000 words	complete 4/12/06
Pawns of Destiny	72,000 words	complete 4/30/06
Yami No Tenshi	75,000 words	complete 5/30/06
Cataclysm	100,000 words	complete 7/06/06
Gateway to Eternity	50,000 words	complete 7/18/06
Dumps, Dives & Divas	114,000 words	complete 8/25/06
The Spellsingers	123,000 words	complete 10/14/06
The Magic Within	42,500 words	complete 10/31/06
Check Mate	125,000 words	complete 11/30/06
The Dawning of the Dark	85,000 words	complete 12/31/06

Is it possible?

I honestly don't know.

Guess it depends how I apply myself and how many disasters I have this year. If there aren't any, then maybe.

That would be soooo totally cool. And, still not make a dent in all the stuff I have to write.

Guess I'll see how this month goes and then maybe I'll have a better idea as to whether I have the discipline or not to really make this happen.

Current Mood: crazy

GREAT tea. Love it. Picked some up when I took my sister,

devinharris home to Nevada, last week. And, it really makes me relaxed and drowsy. I'm on my second cup now. Hope I sleep well.

But, I must get to sleep soon.

Finished writing. Now I can post and sleep.

Since I didn't write much last night, I had to write a few extra words tonight. I needed to get to 8,800 total for the month today in order to be caught up on my 2,200 words per day goal for the month of January.

I did it. Hooray! Didn't think I would. Today was another one of those insane workdays. I'm even too tired to go into it here.
