You seem to be a bit faster than I am (three pages a day, which adds up to, I think, somewhere around 1500 words?), so I definitely think you can do it. I totally understand your wavering between "you'll never get all that done" and "that's ALL you're going to do?" I'm like that, too.<br><br>Best of luck! :-)Crystalhttp://littlebundleofcontradictions.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-22105945180363770522011-06-07T05:50:08.657-04:002011-06-07T05:50:08.657-04:00That's a big list but totally achievable!

If you don't mind, I'm going to copy them so I can have a rough outline of what to do once I finish my WIP. That's basically my biggest goal for the summer. All the editing you're planning on doing will have to come later.

Blogfest is so fun because, for someone like me who is still working on the first draft of my first novel, reading about all the nifty extra steps that are coming is so helpful!!! And overwhelming, but it's good to see the next steps are out there, you know!<br><br>I totally know what you mean about word check for overused words. I can slip into that whirlpool and feel like I'll never think of a different way to describe an action or a character. But it's something I really hate about some authors... they keep using the same word over and over again and congratulating themselves for being so original :)<br><br>Good luck with your goals!fairbettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11641997265787156629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-9776778980662530382011-06-06T15:24:47.124-04:002011-06-06T15:24:47.124-04:00Sounds reasonable to me.
