Week 1, Day 6... The beginning!

Week One Goals:

Take idea and turn it into detailed Characters, Plot, Scenes, and Chapters.
Figure out Line Submission.
Work through Charts (page/word count. Due Date. etc)

A week spent of pen/pencil to paper (literally), with very few moments on a keyboard, I flesh out my idea with as many details as I can. Even when or if I'm done before the first full week with my "Fleshing out" I spend the whole week just working through thoughts and idea's for the MS.


I've worked it out that I should be done with my first draft and beginning final edits (in my opinion, not a publisher's) within 12 weeks. 


These are goals that I've came up with, on my own, that I try desperately to stick to. I break it down through how many pages/word count that I need for my intended Line and divide that up into two groups, then four parts each. For more info on my process, click here, to go to my website.
