New This Week: Missed a Week! #WIP | Renee Scattergood

I missed this post last week. I was so busy with everything, I didn’t get a chance to write it, but I did get a lot done.

I did so much work for the B2B CyCon and then didn’t really participated as much as I planned because I was really sick with a stomach bug over the weekend. Oh well, maybe next time.

Now that it’s over, I’m putting all of my focus into Camp NaNo and getting a lot of writing done. My goal for the month is 25k words and I’m currently at 4630. Doesn’t seem like much, but I wrote that in two days, so it’s not too bad. I’m about 3k words behind in my word count, so it won’t be hard to catch up. I might even be able to catch up today. I need to be at 12.5k by the end of the week, so I’m hoping I can get there in the next four days. Wish me luck!

I’m all caught up with my writing for A God’s Deception, so I’ll be moving on to the next 4 chapters this week.

I’m also caught up with writing Shadow Stalker. This week I’ll be finishing Episode 21 and starting Episode 22.

I’m a bit behind with Emergence, but not because I haven’t worked on it. In fact, I’ve done tons of work. It’s just that I’ve never worked on a project this big, so I miscalculated how long it would take me. I’ve reworked my schedule with that one to reflect that. So this week I’m going to focus on finishing Steps 2 & 4, which is essentially writing out plot points.

I haven’t gotten any writing done on the new short story, but I’ll have plenty of time to get caught up on that this week.

Oh, and for all the authors out there who have been wanting to learn my new writing process I’ve been talking about. I start writing my blog series on that this week as well.

I’m also going to finally finish up that flash fiction story that I started a few weeks back. Yay!

Lastly, I’ve got another 12 Short Stories deadline coming up. The prompt for this one is Buy or Sell and the word count is 750 words. I haven’t figured out yet if I’ll be able to continue my short story series with this one, but I’m going to give it a try.

My goals for the week:

• Reach a word count of 12.5k for Camp NaNo
• Write Chapters 14 – 17 in Book 2 of AGD
• Write Chapters 5 & 6 in Episode 21 of Shadow Stalker and the Prologue and Chapter 1 of Episode 22
• Plan Emergence Steps 2 & 4
• Write Scenes 1 – 8 in the new Short Story
• Write Steps 1 – 4 of my writing process for my Blog Series
• Write flash fiction story
• Plan and write 12 Short Stories story

As you can see, I’ve got a lot of work to do this week. So I’m off to get started!
