I’m signed up for Tristi’s July Book In A Month challenge. No big surprise here, really.

I set myself some rather lofty goals after the last BIAM, hoping to have my second draft done by the end of July. Sadly, that will not happen. However, it’s not from lack of trying and I’ve made some really good progress on this story. Since that’s what goals are really all about, I’m happy.

I’m sticking with my goal of having a third draft done at the end of October, as I’m hoping to give it to some readers and meet with them in November. It could happen.

So anyway, my BIAM goal, starting July 1, is to write 1500 words a day. If I make it, it will put me well on the way to finishing this draft by Labor Day, with a full two months to revise by Halloween.

Our vacation to Utah next month will have a significant impact on this goal. I’m hoping the impact is positive.
