Today is a really hard day for me. December 2nd is my late cousin's birthday and even though it has been so many years since he's passed I just miss him so much... I wanted to just be left alone and not needed for anything but that didn't happen and I ended up at the DMV this morning for a ridiculous amount of time.
Then I came home and took a nap, which was pretty nice even if it was choppy and weird dreams. Then I got to work on studying for semester 1 but added publishing and looking into the best places to self publish today. I filled out a worksheet that I created that was all about the pros and cons of each place and expected royalties. I think I have a pretty good list now and a plan for where I think I should publish.
I also wrote about 1300 words today which is decent but I need to pick it up. If I have about 30 days to work on this and I want to do about 40k words in that time I need to do about 1,333 words a day, according to the math I just did. Well, shit I guess I'm doing better than I thought I was lol. I thought I needed 1600 a day for some reason, I think that's for 50k though. Okay cool, so I'm not behind at all I'm just a few hundred words ahead of my daily goal. I just figured out another little tension point to move the plot forward and cause more issues between the prince and Ariella.
Tomorrow I need to do a little bit of plot point planning to put up on my whiteboard so I can help myself move through the story faster. That has seriously been helping me a lot with writing lately. And the studying has been working SO WELL! I love it, it's been really fun and I feel like I've already learned so much. And I made a bunch of worksheets, essay prompts, and projects for me to complete during these studies. And I like filling them out lol.
Alright time to try and go to sleep.
