--The Schedule--

I might be crazy for setting this thing out, but my schedules never really go according to plan. Although, I'm pretty driven at the moment, so we'll see.

Here is my schedule for writing. I'll revisit this every now and then, and we'll see how well it holds up, hm?

PS: For all of the dates, I'm referring to the end of the day. So whatever my goal is should be done by the time I go to sleep.

July 14, 2012: Achieve 40 k in Shattered Gears
August 17, 2012:  Finish Shattered Gears (goal of 80 k)
December 31, 2012: Finish Transient (goal of 80 k)
May 31, 2013: Finish editing Transient (draft one) and Kinetic (final draft); finish planning Book Three of the Abyss (currently untitled)
June 1, 2013: Start writing Book Three of the Abyss
August 1, 2013: Start querying Kinetic; Finish editing Transient (final draft)
August 31, 2013: Finish planning Serenity (pitch not yet up on Writing page)
December 31, 2013: Finish Book Three of the Abyss (goal of 80 k)

Yeah . . . that looked like a pretty full schedule. Basically, by the end of next year, I want to have completely finished four books: Shattered Gears, Kinetic, Transient, and whatever the heck I'm calling the third book in the Abyss trilogy. After finishing SG, I'm probably just going to set it, and it's sequel(s), aside for a bit so I can focus on the Abyss, since those have been my main focus for a few years.

Well, and then there's Serenity, a paranormal/dystopian that has also been a main focus for me, but I have unfortunately been neglecting it while finishing Kinetic, and then with SG.

So . . . full schedule, and we shall see how successful I am with it, eh?

Hm . . . if I want to write another 4.5 k for Shattered Gears, I should probably stop writing this post and get with it.
