feuervogel: (writing)
I'm starting work on that short story I was talking about before I went to Europe. Today I got in 375 words (anthology guidelines: 3500-5000; I'm targeting 4000). I pretty much hate all of them, but I figure I can fix them later.

Deadline is Sept 1, so I'm setting a goal for a first draft by ... hmm (looks at calendar and upcoming travel schedule, factors in World Cup action) July 18? That's about 15 writing days in there. If I can get 500 words a day, I'll need 8, then the other 8 I can use to fix the stupid crap.

(Then I can beg people for betas with fast turnaround? I'm getting better at self crit, but...)
