LMS VII: Fantasy and Stuff

I am in the middle of writing a dark fantasy book, one of the many reasons it will NOT be posted on YWS at ALL (not in part or entirety). This is the reason I am a stowaway. I'll be posting my goals I'm trying to meet for the week, and I'll be posting whether I meet it, but none of what I actually write will be on YWS. Purely participating to motivate myself to finish this dang thing!

This would be a really boring thread to subscribe to, so I don't exactly recommend it XD I'll purposely be keeping info pretty vague. I'm hoping to get this published and make some extra moneyyyyy but it is NOT something I want people on here thinking of when they think of me, haha. Good luck to all the pilots and navigators!!!

>If I were being extremely optimistic, I technically have to finish roughly 2 1/2 chapters per week if I want to finish before I move for grad school.
>If I'm being reasonable, I'll be aiming for 1k words a week. Anything above that would be phenomenal, but I cannot let myself burn out.



>Finish the book. This is first priority, obviously. I've got a complete outline, so as long as I keep chipping away at it, I should succeed!
>While writing, edit. This will be based on feedback from beta readers who read chapters as I finish them. I love my friends!
>Submit, submit, submit. This is the final step of the journey. We'll see if it succeeds, but the ultimate goal is to get some dark romantasy published and (fingers crossed!) make a little extra income!

Well, I meant to write way more last week. I was not anticipating Monday being the only day I wrote on this! But I fell sick, had one of my worst days in years, and had to recover from two said things. XD Here's hoping to more writing this week :]

For anyone who may have seen my wall, I had a surprise surgery that has completely knocked the wind out of me. If I had known ahead of time, I probably would've tried to write ahead, but since I didn't, I think this is the end of the road for me this time :/ was hoping for a shiny badge but no such luck. Good luck to everyone else :]

LMS has always been a competition that tries to take real-world stuff into account, and I think if anything qualifies for an exception, it's a medical issue :') As a competition runner, I would say you get a pass for this week, especially since you're a Stowaway! Hope you recover fully soon <3
