Writing Production

I did not win NaNoWrimo once again this year.  This time I was actually going pretty good too.  Unfortunately I got really sick with some kind of upper respiratory thing (a very technical term, I know, but that's what happens when you avoid doctors like they are more of a plague than your actual illness).  It took me most of November just to get to feeling well again.

Even though I didn't make it to 50,000 words I did get a little over 10,000 words done and when I look back on 2013 I realized I actually did a pretty good amount of writing.  I finished a first draft of a fantasy novel I've been working on and got about 1/3 of the way through a first draft of a vampire novel.  Not only that but I've blogged more this year than in 2012.  That's not saying a whole lot but it's still a start.

Still, I want to get better in 2014.  My goal is to get my fantasy novel polished up enough people will want to buy it, get my first draft done of my vampire novel, and write a third novel.  Somewhere in there I would also like to write some short stories and be more consistent on my blog.  I'm thinking one short story a week and one blog post a week would be good.
