Wow. October was great in SO many ways.
So the biggest news is, of course, that my son was born on the 29th at 8:50pm. Kaden David Michael Schibi is awesome.
Now to writing news. I'm still working on SCION but plan to finish it in November. I set a goal at the first of October to beat 37,800 and boy, did I. I ended the month with a total word count of 47,023 (a whopping 1,517 per day average). I set a minimum of 1,220 words per day and hit it every day even through the birth. My previous highest month total was 43,304 making October 2009 my new highest month.
In addition to working on my novel WIP, I also wrote three short stories this month (two of which aren't quite finished yet) and started the synopsis of one of my other completed novels so I can get it out the door.
For the month of November, my number one goal is to finish SCION. That will be my fourth novel this year completed. In doing that, I'll probably set another new writing total for the month. Another goal for November that won't effect my numbers is to complete synopses of my other completed novels and ship them out the door (can't sell them if I'm not sending them out).
So, cheers to October 2009, I'll never forget it!!!
