finish my novel in 2009

I am behind schedule, but I’ve managed to write 10 pages today. If I’m able to write seven pages per day, I should easily meet my goal of writing a 150-page draft by October 31.

I have been really delinquent with this goal, so now it’s time to step it up. I will need to write four pages a day instead of two for the next two weeks in order to catch up.

I just realized (and this was totally by accident) that there are exactly 100 days until my birthday. If I write just two pages a day, I’ll have a 200-page draft by 5/29!

I will actually have to get started on this pretty quick as I will need to be sure of completion/lack of completion in time to make a reservation for my birthday! I am just looking to finish a first draft by 5/29.

I’ve written about 100 pages so far, most of which were completed during November in an attempt to “win” NaNoWriMo. I’ve shelved the pages during December and plan to pick it up again with fresh eyes in January.
