Well, with 15 minutes left in the month, I'm going to sadly call my attempt over, falling short of 20% completion. I could make excuses, but honestly, if I had pushed myself, I probably would have done better.
Having said that, here are my excuses.
1) 2 Literature Classes and another class called "Research and Argumentation" which demands an 8 page research paper a week can really sap the drive and motivation to write something for myself.
2) I spent way too much time on my notes and not on actual writing. The blueprints are there, but the crew had to reschedule.
3) School. Again. School. Always. School.
4) It's hard to make progress when you have to edit what you wrote while drunk or sleepy. Or both.
So yeah. What it comes down to is school ate up all of my time. If I wasn't writing for a class, I wasn't writing at all.
What does this mean for the story?
Not a damn thing. I'm not stopping this one. I might put it on hold to work on a short story or two to submit to my school's writing journal, but Maelstrom (working title) will be finished. Probably better now that I'm not just trying to throw in as much as possible as fast as possible.
I'll keep posting the status of it as I make more progress.
And I look forward to trying again in 2011 with something brand new.
Oh, and before I forget.
