Stats on my work in progress
Fun stats about my current work in progress | A friend of mine told me that I should find out how long it takes me to draft a novel. So I tracked my time...
All Installments Scheduled for My Serialized Manuscript
reading time: 1 minute(s)
After last week’s very productive writing sessions, I took more breaks as I wound down to the final chapters of the book. I still only missed two days of writing though, but I definitely needed those days to just not think about the book.
I will be releasing the rest of my book for feedback at a steady pace to my alpha readers. I will not inundate them with the amount of pages I actually ended up finishing week to week.
The quality of the last few chapters is suspect. I am OK with this. Due to the fact that I brought in material from previous versions and had to smooth those out and the fact that I was also in completely uncharted territory, the story being uneven here is to be expected.
In two weeks I’ll be getting feedback on my second draft of the first 50 pages from my writing group.

(The ratio of old previous version material to new is probably about 20% to 80%, but I did not keep track of that.)
