Note to self (re. planning wordcount)

[aldersprig]

Having a 10,000-word project (novella), a 6,000-word project (Edally), and a 4,000-word project (Ghost) in a month and a 25K goal for the month only works if you have less than 5K additional work.

Patreon is approx. 2.5K now.

There's that commission you just finished, that was ~3K this month.

Then there's the 6K submission story...

Math is one's friend.

(also, I need to leave at least 1.5K for fun projects, and since I really want my "fun" to run about 10-20% of my wordcount, I need to allow for that, too. That means for a 25000 work-wordcount goal, I need to write ~27,700-31,250 words).

Conclusion: I need to shrink my project goals per month. Or increase my wordcount by 10-25%.

Shrink goals first, you can increase them again later if you feel like you can handle it.

This makes sense!

Okay!

Nano month is 30K goal.

3K for Ghost
Edally is 1.5k/week, so that pretty much has to be 6K/Month
Say 5K for submission
2.5K for Patreon
--------
16,5000
3,000 for fun
1,000 for commission
--------
20,500

Leaves me 9,500 for Rin & Girey.

And for a "normal", 25K month, that would leave me with 4,500 for novella. 5,500 if no commission.

Okay. I can do this.

"Plans"???

What an interesting idea...

*grin*

Plans keeps me from months like September, where very little gets done.
