Looking Back on January

[queenoftheskies]

Wow. First month of the new year down the drain.

It was a good month for me as far as writing goes. I can't complain.

My goals were simple:

Write 2,200 words/day (68,200 total)

Finish one novel -- Out of the Darkness

One crit/review for each of the four groups I belong to.

I think that was it. Maybe there was an editing aspect. I don't remember.

I hit two of the goals:

Word count for January was 94,042, so I beat that goal by 25,842 words.

I finished Beyond the Darkness.

I missed one goal:

I did not manage one crit/review for each of the four groups I belong to.

However, I did manage 6 reviews for OWW.

I went above and beyond my goals in some areas:

Edited/Revised the short story Spilt Milk.

Did a small amount of editing/revising on Beyond the Darkness.

Started a new screenplay.

Started several new short stories.

Submitted Spilt Milk to Glimmer Train.

Whew!

January was a busy month.
