BFS Update: August 10

Mrr. I have some other posts I should probably put up here, but how about (yet another) BFS update?

Oh yeah - and JulNo. Obviously, I found myself with a huge wordcount debt with about a little over a week left of the month (I think I was over 20k behind). Somehow I managed to hit 50k on the 31st like I planned (yay, I won), but it involved typing between 4-5k (and one day of 7k) for pretty much every single day I wrote (which was all but two or three?).

However, the draft is not done. There might be 10k left to write, maybe even up to 20k.

And the even more annoying thing is that this seems to be a two-part - maybe even three-part - story. So that means that once I have this draft done, I'm only HALF done. No epic final battle scene for me yet. D:

But yeah. That also means I'm not halfway done with my 2-drafts goal! Sad...I'm going to try to finish "Red" before school starts, though. We'll see if I can do it. :P Definitely will try to finish it before NaNo, though. I also want to rewrite Highness...REALLY want to rewrite Highness. I just want to have another novel draft done before I go back to my "baby".

Anyway, without further ado:

Key:
- Not Started
- In Progress
- Completed
- Failed

1. Two novel drafts - 0/2 - I have 50k of Red, and still that 17k from Travels back in February. Still need to get crackin' on this one...I guess...but yay, JulNo! I won!
2. Script Frenzy '08 - Previously done.
3. Regular exercising (twice a week) - 10/100 workouts - I just got back from vacation, and am trying to get a routine back. Blergh. Number is an estimate...
4. Regular journaling (seven pages per week) - On track - and for the past week or so, I've been writing HELLA surplus. Probably because I was on vacation, and I needed to rant. :P
5. Regular creative writing (one piece per week) - 11/50 pieces (edit: 15/50), 5/12 accompanying images - Just wrote another one! I'm sticking with my previous estimate, by the way. That means I have to write 39 more little short things and draw 7 more images for them before the end of the year. Aiiaa. D:
6. One contest + one submission - Previously done.
7. More socializing - 21/40 events - I was on vacation, but while I was away, I hung out with my friend who I only see once a year! Twas fun. And my friend and I hung out yesterday And I did some after-school stuff with friends during summer school. The number is still just an estimate, though. Halfway point. Whoo! :P
8. "Progress" - Previously failed.
9. More studying/earlier start on homework/"good grades" - It's...summer? Summer homework and college apps don't count right now! Although, I finished my homeWORK, and have been working on apps, so now I just have studying and stuff...but it's still summer...waaah...
10. Summer job - Previously failed, and currently hating on the people who DO have it. (Angry face.)

Total:
- Not started: 1
- In Progress: 5
- Completed: 2
- Failed: 2

Haha, nothing actually changed, color-wise. :P
