Just One Goal - Writing

Wednesday, November 2, 2016

Written by Kodi Wolf at 1:03 PM

October was a pretty good writing month. I even started playing in a new fandom (Supergirl). I'm also learning I can write stuff out of order when I'm stuck to keep the words flowing and come back to what I'm stuck on afterwards, rather than forcing myself to write linearly. And I can always revise the later stuff I wrote to match up with what I didn't know I was going to write for the earlier bits. Knowing I don't have to stop just because I'm stuck has really kept my word count up and reduced my stressing about not knowing what to write because there's always something else I do know how to write.

My total word count for October was 38,910, which averages out to 1,255 words per day. My lowest words per day was 154 and my highest was 3,811.

I think I'm going to stop doing the monthly goal thing for now, since it's been the same one every month since August: Write as much as I can every day with a bare minimum of 500 words/day (approximately 15,000 words/month). Though in actuality, I've been striving for 1,000 words/day and 30,000 words/month. It's just that keeping 500 words/day as the stated goal lets me off the hook when I'm having a bad day, whether physically, mentally, or emotionally, and I've found I do better when I feel like I'm achieving my goals than when I feel like I'm falling behind. Apparently, fear of failure is not a motivator for me, but continued success is.

Well, I'm off to write.

Hey,

Sorry for the fake out, but I don't collect email addresses for marketing purposes.

I was just told I needed an email signup form on my pages, so I created this one as part of the original design, then changed my mind, but decided to leave this here as an Uno reverse card. :)

Anyway, my stories are my sales pitch and if the free chapters (and entire books) aren't enough to convince you to pay for access to more of the same, then I don't see how my bugging you with emails is going to change your mind.

Plus, I have social phobia and trying to come up with marketing emails is my definition of an anxiety-inducing nightmare.

Not to mention that's not what I want to be doing with my precious writing time or wasting your precious reading time.

So, if you want to get an email from me, you'll either have to purchase a Story or Site Membership, or email me directly and talk to me about my stories.

Or ask me a question and I'll do my best to answer.

But seriously, email me about my stories.

Tell me what you liked, what you wish I'd done differently, your favorite scenes.

Especially if there's one story in particular you'd like me to update. I know some of them have been sorely neglected and it motivates me to work on them when my anxiety and chronic pain are making that more difficult than usual.

Hope to hear from you soon. :)

Take care,

Kodi
