June Summary (Michael)

Week One: 8,419 words
Week Two: 8,967 words

Ah, yes, I was on track for a fabulous month . . . but then I got the reading assignments for my one-on-one tutoring with Kris Rusch (focusing on setting), and had to quit writing for the month.

I still have to read most of the second book, and there's still a follow-up assignment to come!

At the very end of the month, I picked up writing again so I could get a submission in under deadline. This month, I had a 3,828 word day (6/3) and a 3,833 word day (6/29). Man, it could've been a major month if I didn't have to do that reading.

As it is, I finished with only 23,155 words for the month. Of course, I only wrote for 14 days, which means my daily average was 1,654 per writing day - not bad at all. At that rate, if I'd written all other normal writing days (that is, non-Sundays) I would've got 43,004 for the month!

However . . . I really did well on submissions for June, submitting 21 times during the month! (That's five times as much as my "story a week" goal.)

And, since submitting is as important as writing (see Heinlein's Rules), I feel I more than made up for my lackluster production numbers with my phenomenal distribution numbers. :)

Oh YEAH.
