Man, it seems just like yesterday that we started 2013, but now it's over. Now we start with a clean slate, and we can try new resolutions and try to make something better out of our past mistakes from years past. So, before I begin my usual talk, I wanted to wish all of you a Happy New Year! Hope you enjoyed those black-eyed peas. :)
So, I don't know if it's just me, or not, but I find it highly ironic I reach my word count goal on the day of New Years. Yes, today, 1/1/14, I finished my second word-count calendar. Which I'm extremely proud about. But, even though I hit that 80k, I still have not finished it, so I may be looking at a 100K novel, maybe, maybe even 110K. I don't know if I could do that, but I have a whole LOT of editing I'll have to do, so I hope that number goes back down to 85k at most.
Yeah, here's the word counts:
Last Week's Word Count: 75,315
This Week's Word Count: 80, 507
Next Week's Word Count: COMPLETED!!!!!
Thanks guys for being supportive, and I hope you continue on with your word count goals as well! Enjoy 2014!

Beginning:
Currently I have successfully completed one novel, "The Hunter and the Hunted" which is currently in its editing stage. Now, I have moved on to the second novel in that series, "The Omni Plague". Right now, the word count for it is: 44,826. I laid off of it for a while and started another book, but I realized that I can't leave one thing uncompleted and work on something else entirely. Now, I'll still be working on both, but "The Omni Plague" is my main priority as of right now.
I plan to write 150 words a day, since I've been loaded down for the beginning of the school year. I want to have 80,000 words when I complete this novel, max, so I can send it into the editing stage. So, that means I have 5 and 1/2 months to finish it if I stay consistent with my progress calendar, which I hope will be successful.
