For better or worse, the year is over and whether or not we accomplished our goals, or neglected them 9 out of 12 months, this is the moment when we fess up to what we really did in 2013. At various points this year I tried Milwordy (writing 1 Million words in a year- 3 times, reading 40 books in the year, editing some books.)
Here’s what I actually did.
-wrote-
Wrote 223,000 words
Started a really cool YA Fantasy/SciFi series that blows my own mind.
-edited-
Finished the 2nd rewrite of my first book ever (which probably has three more to go but holy fuck it’s starting to look like a real book now.) >_<
Edited, reorganized/started rewriting my third book ever. (conveniently ignores the second book I ever wrote because wow is it terrible. Haha.)
-read-
Read 38 books.
Finally figured out how to effectively use my Goodreads account. >_<
-personal accomplishments-
Got married to my fiance of 7 years.
Found a job I love that leave me lots of time to write and read to my heart’s content.
In going back through my old Milwordy blog, and personal diaries to calculate my word count for the year I came across this thing I wrote on my very first Milwordy blog post back in February.
I want to look back on the year and say “Damn, I accomplished so much more than I thought I ever could.”
Welp, Dear 11ish months ago self, you did. Congrats. Here’s to 2014 and surprising yourself.
Happy Scribbling.
