I got to meet Julie
I got to meet Julie tonight. She introduced me to sushi and we had a great time chatting. I love it when someone who's great to talk to online turns out to be great in real life too. But, be afraid when two writers get together. I have to admit, it kicked all the ass to be able to sit in a sushi bar in Ann Arbor and talk about our novels. :) It turns out we'd both brought our written manuscripts with us. As I said, it didn't feel right to celebrate their existence without having them there. Neither of us really read them, they just sat on the table so we could see them.
So, for December, I've changed my goals a bit. I want to write an average of 1,000 words a day. Ideally, I'd like to write that much everyday, but I'm a realist, so I figure the average will work. Keeping track of how much writing I'd done in November was a good motivator, so I'm going to keep doing it. It was kinda like having a personal trainer. "C'mon! You can do another five hundred words! Keep working! Feel the burn!"
Lots of stuff to edit this month too. Ideally, I want to have all of the manuscripts on that list edited and submitted by the end of the month.
