I may have "written the last line" two weeks ago, but that in way means I was finished with this project. The idea was always that in my thirteen week time limit I would complete three drafts: a first/rough draft (FMD), a working draft (WkStD), and a readable draft (no clever acronym on my harddrive).
After thirteen weeks of what seems like non-stop work, I finally have something I feel like I can show people (metaphorically speaking) and say "why, yes, I actually have done something with my life." Doing something with my life is, of course, why I went on this crazy, obsessed, compulsive, waking-up-at-six-fucking-a-m, summer-long novel-writing adventure. Not that I'm ready to die now or anything, but should I get a repeat deathly illness, maybe I won't have so much to regret.
So what does one do when they edit? Well, in my case, it was a lot of writing. So much for that last post, eh? I still consider that line the "last," but I'm sure there will be a lot more writing for this book in my future.
So... Final Stats for The Escaterra Summer Project:
440 pages; ~118,000 words
~40 pages/week (written)
~10,700 words/week (written
~37 pages/day (edited)
~9,800 words.day (edited)
So there's that. This is just the beginning really. I'd love to hear your thoughts, so please comment. I'll definitely (eventually) respond.
Thank you, you five loyal readers all of whom I know, who have supported me for the past three months and a week. I love you dearly, and I'll keep you updated, so keep reading!

Week Seven: Structurally Stifling
So I've talked a lot about my difficulties going back and forth between too much freedom that I didn't know what to do and too much planning that I didn't have creative freedom. Last week started off all right, but by Wednesday, I was fighting to write just a few pages. Being past the halfway point if obviously fantastic, but now I am at the crunch so I have to write certain scenes on certain days and that's not usually how I operate. I finally realized what was happening on Friday and switched to a different POV to keep things from getting stiffling. That seemed to work pretty weel. So I've worked out a basic schedule for the next six weeks that keeps me switch perspectives every couple of days; that way, even though I'm under the clock, I'll keeping everything fresh.
Obviously, since everything fell apart my Weekly Stats are dismal 40 pages for the week - as if I skipped an entire day of writing. Saturdays have now been added to my weeks. I won't be working a full 9-5 on the weekends, but in addition to writing, I need to start editing what I've already written. Some of that is going to have to happen on the weekends.
Later today - maybe during lunch, I'm going to post another update, so watch for that. Until then, this is it for now. Sorry it's so short. It's really crunch time now.

Week Six: Momentum
If you missed my previous post, I have written what I estimate to be half (248 pages) the length of the novel based on how I've broken down the plot/scene outline.
This past week started as a great week. I was totally psyched about meeting my goal to reach the halfway point. Monday alone I wrote 14 solid pages. But by Friday, I was crawling to 7 pages. I tried working on Saturday and couldn't concentrate more than an hour when I expected (and needed) to work, editing the first half and writing a fight scene, all day. I can blame Saturday's problems partially on my environment. I'm particular about where I can work, and I had to move to the public library on Saturday and there are just so many books there...
All told:
Week Total Hours: 37
Total Hours for Writing Novel: 30
Total Pages Written: 49 (1 less than goal)
Total Hours for Editing Novel: 2
Total Pages Editted: 2.25
Pages Per Hour (Writing): 1.63
Pages Per Hour (Editing): 1.125
Due to my early week surge, my pages per hour for writing is about where it should be, but if I'm only "editing" at 1 and an eighth page an hour (editing here pretty much meaning copy-paste - possibly selectively - from one document to another), it's going to take me a very, very long time to finish this... My 13 week goal, which we are heading into the seventh week of (scary!), includes my very, very rough first draft, an equally rough "working" draft which might contain a couple variations of the same scene from which to choose, and a tidier third draft from which to jump into future/final drafts. I have seven weeks to complete two and a half approximately 496 page drafts. Exciting.
Mostly what I need to focus on now is not losing momentum. It's already started, as evidenced by this past week's slow decline.
No Quote of the Week this week, sorry to say. This is coming up a little late as it is, and I need to post now, instead of searching for something fun. Look out later this week for a new weekly topic I'll be posting!

HALFWAY THERE!
It's happened. I've broken down the book into 6 major/equal parts, and I just finished the 3rd, which means I'm halfway there at 5.5 weeks into my 13 week project!
This half is 248 pages exactly (for the moment). I'll be spending my Saturday going through my first edits of this draft - mostly just working on transitioning from scene to scene. For the rest of the week, I'm full steam ahead for the second half -except for writing this blog post rather than continuing on the scene I've started because I'm to eager to concentrate. I also maybe shouldn't have pushed myself with that second pot of coffee.
I have written 248 pages and ~72,000 words in approximately 35 days (give or take for sick/make-up days) and 5.5 weeks, which means: (numbers are rounded)
Per week my average page count is: 45.1
Per week my average word count is: 13,091
Per day my average page count is: 7.1
Per day my average word count is: 2,057
Unfortunately, that means I'm writing under-goal, since I'm trying to write at 10 pages per day. But I won't get too weepy about it: I'm kicking ass!
At the rate I'm going, I think I will have written all the scenes I need written by halfway through the 12th week, and I'll edit for the last week and a half instead of write. If I can step up my game and get to writing at or above my goal like I was in the first couple weeks, I should be done in the 10th or 11th week, and I'll have 2 or 3 weeks to edit.
Of course, after that, I don't plan on considering the novel "done" in any way. I'm tentatively calling my end product my Final Rough Draft. I'm sure it will go through several edits after, but I want something complete ad cohesive at the end of these 13 weeks. When we get closer to the end, I'll discuss my plans for the future of this blog.
As always, I appreciate your support! Sending you love!

Week Five: Utter Failure
Just thinking about my weekly stats makes my head hurt. I was well under my 50 page goal. Granted, it's not really my fault when my head decides it wants to mimic the pain from a torture scene in 24, but I'm still bummed about it.
Still, I'm extraordinarily close to the halfway point in the novel. My projection for it is Wednesday the 22nd, and I plan on writing through the evening until I get there. After today I'll probably have about 30 more pages to write, based on the scenes I know need to happen and how long they tend to be.
Once I get to the halfway point, I'm going to start giving more information about the novel itself. I don't think I've given a summary since week one. I'm thinking about doing mid-week Character Spotlights; how does that sound to you? I've also been working on another related project that I plan to premiere in a sister blog by the end of the summer.
I'm still lacking in the Facebook area. It's awful. I feel so disconnected from my friends not in my immediate physical space. Also, I can't share this blog there, so I appreciate your efforts to do so!
Quote of the Week: Fail
I didn't write for two days, so there really wasn't much from which to choose. I know I said I'd try for two this week, but c'mon. Three days worth of material. Plus, this is a long quote.
This quote is actually of a win for the main character, Nico, but a fail for the one she's dealing with.
"“You think you can kill me?” Nico asked
“Did you happen to notice how many people were in the room out there?”
54 patrons: half Prienvian, quarter Dwarven, and the rest a mix of Elven, Human and Hakathan. Plus the Prienvian barkeep. Nico liked challenges. Kept fight in the blood. “Nope.”
“Over fifty. And they’re all waiting for me to give them a signal.” The petite criminal giggled again. “So, let’s not be silly and do something you’ll regret in your afterlife.”
“Oh, I never allow myself to do something I’ll regret.”"
PS. Sorry this is late getting up again this week. I woke up late and didn't want to start writing late.
PPS. Great start to this week, by the way. :-)

Week Four: Crisis and Frustration
I did it. Over 200 pages written in four weeks. I think I previously posted that this would make me ahead of schedule, but it actually puts me right on schedule if my goal is to write 10 pages a day, which it is. Still, I am pretty proud of myself, and I expect that I will be half way through the novel by the end of this coming week or middle of next. I might even add a Saturday writing session this week to make sure that is met.
Well, this past week has seen a lot of frustration for me. I had to take my planning to the next level and brainstorm specific scenes. This wasn't a problem in and of itself, but it was a solution to the problem that I had no idea where I was taking a particular character, and it certainly wasn't a perfect solution. The most painful source of frustration for me this past week, however, had nothing to do with the book. Three of my accounts have been hacked, including Facebook, and I have been locked out entirely from all of them. I've spent days, including several hours I should have been writing, trying to recover them. No luck thus far.
When I was writing this blog this morning, I wrote about how although I've been mostly meeting my daily goal, I am failing to keep to my schedule of free writing from 9-9:30 and from 1-1:30 and novel writing from 9:30-12 and 1:30-4ish. One of the things I cited was that I'm often too energetic or too exhausted and I get distracted by the need to exercise or take a nap. I did free write before my morning session, and it certainly had the effect I want for it: clearing my mind of other stories by writing them down before I begin my novel writing. Of course, I proceeded to take a nap my entire afternoon session. I probably wouldn't have if I remembered to turn my phone off silence so I could hear the alarm I set for myself. I do want to cut down on napping in general, but it's extraordinarily difficult to have any success writing or even look at the computer screen when I have a soul-splitting migraine. I guess I'll just have to find a balance with that.
Just a reminder that you can Comment without having a Blogger account, Follow the blog through your Blogger account, Subscribe by email or RSS feed, and Share the posts on Facebook or Twitter (which I would be quite grateful for since I can't post on Facebook for at least a couple weeks). Also, I'm on Twitter: @BookwyrmFCP.
Sadly no Quote of the Week this time around; I was having difficulty with finding a good quote earlier today and right now I'm still reeling from my migraine. Maybe I'll post two next time.

Mid-Week Update
It's not technically the "middle" of the week when I'm posting on a Thursday, but it's not my usual post-week wrap-up, so I'm sticking with that sentiment for the term.
It's almost the end of my third week of writing. Un-frikkin-believable. I'll write much more here over the weekend when I have the time, but for now, I just wanted to update everyone on some amazing progress that I catalogued today.
Technically, I work 35 hour weeks. 32 of those are meant to be strictly writing, 27 strictly writing my novel. That's how my daily schedule reads. So, today should mark 378 hours of writing Prophecy. Considering these are best laid plans... Well, you read my post last week and know the trouble I've been having focusing and the like.
Today during my editing session, I compiled everything I have written thus far in those 370-ish hours. You see, I open a fresh Word Doc daily to write, and I save each day's work separately that way. Today I put together my first manuscript draft, splicing together the character perspectives I've been writing in.
150 pages.
This is actually right on-track. My goal is to write 10 pages a day, 50 pages a week. What it's actually coming out to is closer to 11 pages per day (though some days, like yesterday, I've written nearly 15).
Weeks Completed: (almost) 3
Weeks Remaining: 10 (plus a day)
Total Number of Hours Spent Writing Novel: somewhere between 365 and 378
Total Number of Pages: 150 (almost exactly)
To borrow a phrase: So excite!

Week One: An Exercise in Will Power
Total: 35 hours. (The following are approximates)
Writing Warm Ups: 4 hours, 45 minutes
Daily After-Writing Edits: 2 hours, 25 minutes
Enthusiastically Novel-Writing: 24 hours, 28 minutes
Staring at a Blinking Cursor: 2 hours, 13 minutes
Drooling, Staring off into Space, and Imagining Myself Enthusiastically Novel-Writing: 1 hour, 9 minutes
Writing Warm-Ups produced two letters (one mailed, one not), two poems, five short story beginnings, and two diary entries.
However, the Escaterra Project is about writing a novel. 58 pages, 16,986 words.
I've been talking about writing this novel for a long time. Years. Obviously, talking isn't writing, and for years, I have always found excuses to not write and instead think and plan and world-build. This summer, I've decided, will change all of that. From 9am to 5pm, but a lunch break at noon, Monday through Friday, I am working on The Escaterra Project, an effort to write the entire novel in the twelve weeks I have between junior and senior years of college. I can spend 35 hours on the computer every week without a problem. I could be a professional internet time-waster, but for 7 hours everyday, my internet is turned off, and the only program open on my laptop is a fresh Word Document. When I started on Monday, I was slightly terrified about how well it would work, "best laid plans" and all that. I powered through and above are the results.
Going into this summer, I had no intention of blogging. I've tried to start blogs before, but never got so much as 1 post done. By Thursday, I had made so many Facebook status updates about it that I decided I might as well try. I'll be updating at least weekly, sometime between Friday evening after 5pm and Monday morning before 9am. I'm not sure yet exactly what I'll be writing about beyond the general premise of documenting my writing process over the summer. I'll write a little about me; I'll write a little about my novel.
Now, for the little about my novel...
The working title is Prophecy. Because, oh hey, it involves a prophecy, as fantasy novels often do. Clever, right? Escaterra is the name of the world in which it takes place.
The Gods must choose their champions to save the world from certain destruction. They could select anyone to save the world from the apocalypse. They could choose Ariy'Ala'omand, the warrior prince of Hakatha already dedicated to the cause. Or Ashalana, the queen's friend and confidant, whose envious and corrupt rivals in court have her sent on a far off mission. Or the nameless woman of the secret band of exiled politcal adversaries and criminals who plans to lead them from their wilderness hide-out to rebellion at the city gates. Even the crazy old woman outside the walls of Souzarzum or the much-despised, apathetic Sorcerer could become saviors. But the Gods instead will choose a pirate, an apothecary and a recluse. They just don't know it yet.
In the coming weeks, I'll be filling you in on more (as it actually gets written).
Quote of the Week: Will Save (Note: apologies, these will be very rough. I will choose them for the theme, not because they are magnificent examples of prose.)
For those who don't know, I'm a huge fan of tabletop games. For those of you who don't know much about tabletop games, here's a lesson for you: Will Saves "reflect your resistance to mental influence" (PHB 3.5, 136). Someone trying to intimidate you? Roll a Will Save.
This past week has just been one major Will Save for me against the intimidation of the project I was taking on. So, here is an example of a successful Will Save I wrote on May 18th:
"Even if Contierra had access to a weapon, she wouldn’t know how to use it against them; she was terrified of all manner of beast, and had she a choice, Contierra would live a much more luxurious life in which she was required to do none of her own work. But Contierra ci’Mublim sáh’Hailiphusahabiro imci’Niha had defied her father and lord, had successfully stared down a land pirate twice in her life, had lived through the worst attack in the living memory of Hakathans, and had just willingly hung off cliff for three hours – a simple man with a crossbow was not all that intimidating."
