Weekly Goals

I had to do some 12 and 16 hour shifts at work this week to cover some other guys, so my goals were pretty much unobtainable due to exhaustion I accomplished a little toward a couple of them though, so this week wasn't entirely a bust.


1.) Need to establish better context in chapter 3 of the novel I'm working on as to what the character is doing, and why he is doing it.
Only in my head, never got a chance to write it this week.

2.) Write an additional 5000 words to the novel (ending to chapter 4 and start of chapter 5.)
A little over 1000 words. However, this was setting up a scene into chapter 2. This is kind of a chapter 1.5 that will likely become the new chapter 2. Going to get into a neat fissure between realities - a demimonde of sorts.

3.) There's a minor lack of story arch that I took out after rewriting the first chapter, I need to somehow work some of it back in.
Bits and pieces worked their way back in, so I'm happy with that.

4.) 1 review per day.
There were 2 days (16 hour days) I was just too tired to do anything. I made up for that today however, and did 3, so my net reviews were still the same.

5.) Finish reading The Scarlet Gospels by Clive Barker.
Again, because of the insane hours this week, I fell a bit short. I have about 100 pages to go.

I still am setting out to complete this list this weekend though, so I don't consider this a defeat yet.
