LDWriter2:
Even though I didn't come here for this I say that some writers need deadlines, they need the pressure. Others do quite well without them and some do badly with them. Cen you could be one that needs them. :)
And BTW I came to this discussion late I didn't know you were still in high school. Too bad about your relationship with your sister, that happens at times for various reasons, I hear.
But I wanted to say is that I have been revising too much lately. Can't take my laptop to work because it's too hot so last night I was feeling the Need To Write. Restarted a steampunk story and something else, I can't think of right now.
But my actual new writing has been way down sometimes less than a hundred words a day. Still feeling that way so I will be leaving to Write.

Exceeded my word count goal for the week by 1k. This is good because I'm not entirely certain how much I'll get done over the weekend. All depends on errands and such. But I'm hoping for another 3k to push my WiP over 70k.
I've thought about upping my daily goal from 500, since I'm doing pretty well with hitting and blowing past it, but I still have to get other aspects of my life into the right routine.
But I do seem to be on track to finishing this draft well ahead of the deadline I set for myself-my birthday in Oct. :D

Huh. I thought you were a beginning colleger Cengirl. Oh well, that just means you have more years to explore the amazing world of science fiction and fantasy as well as more time to hone your craft.
Already I've noticed an improvement in your spelling just during the time you've been on this forum.
Keep on keeping on. As for me managed to pump out another thousand words on my Sequel book. So that was encouraging. About half new and half 2nd draft edits and expansions.
