I'm working at inkingitout on Dreamwidth, where I said I would write 200k words this year. My other goals are to complete the next original novel, which is not quite half of that wordcount, and to continue signing up for fests (but hopefully at a saner rate than I did in December/January). I also have at least one WiP that I really want to finish, and may have started a community to convince me to do just that. Oops. I need to work on that.

I already have over 30k in words this year, which is good for wordcount (I've written three times as much as I need to at this point to be on track), but next to none of that is on original work. That last part's bad, because I need to get the novel done so I can get it workshopped and edited within the year.

I also need to send out (more) letters to agents. Someone yell at me to do that already.

I should try to do the agents thing tonight, maybe, instead of writing. Although I need coherence for query letters, too.

Not sure I can keep this pace up all year, but if I do, it'll be a scary year in terms of wordcount! :)
