Time to Write Week 41

 


Group 1: Edits chapter 21 and chapter 1

Group 2: Writing Chapter 41

Group 3: Writing Chapter 21 
12 weeks remaining in our writing journey. 

So we should be at completing 40 chapters. 20 chapters edited or 20 chapters written. 

Now to spell out things we now have 12 weeks left until our 52 week plan is up! So each Monday post on our writing will now hold a countdown. Nothing like pressure!

So I urge you to pull out your writing book and start planning these remaining 13 weeks to hit your goal. 
Check where you are in your story or editing. How many more chapters do you need to finish the book? How can you break it up into weeks to finish. 

Remember the goal of this 52 weeks of writing was to complete one or two stories. It was to have a completed rough draft of your story. 

Not coping out on you. Do you remember when I said early on you cannot edit an unwritten book? 

Well not its time to map out remaining chapters and get this story finished. Now is the time if I can work it out I will take a couple of days off work and write full time on my current story. 

For this of you done writing it is time to edit from the beginning. You got 12 weeks. Use it well. 

Some people write better under pressure. Not me. I do better when there is a plan.  

But not to make anyone who is hanging out on the journey to feel bad...this is not a race and we all write at different paces. So don't give up at all if you are not where we are at 40 weeks done. Keep going. Any progress is good. 

So for the remaining 11 posts I will be short. We know what we have to accomplish and we need time to do it. 

I will still keep posting Thursdaya hints and helps. But I urge your to maximize your writing time. Ignore these posts if you are on a roll. Get this story finished. 

Now if you are writing more than 40 chapters that is fine. Keep going. If you need all 52 weeks to finish your story that is great. You can edit once you are done in the next year. 

Just think in not time you will have a completed story to edit or you are already on it. Or you aren't far. Just keep going!!!!
