So here we are… my weekly #ROW80 update. Let’s see how things are going.
- January:
- Market Shadow Cat. This is ongoing. However! I did receive my first review yesterday from Lily at Lilium’s Realm. She had some wicked nice things to say, plus she’s hosting a giveaway for me. A step in the right direction.
- Write the Sex scene for Control Freak: Regina’s Story. Another #FAIL this week.
- Do the first round of edits on Unprotected. I started this tonight. It’s only about 8k. I’m looking forward to adding it to my collection of finished works.
- Continue to chip away at Stray Cat. (200+ words a day) I’m just cruisin’ along with this. But I do have a confession to make. Tuesday I got so absorbed in a book I was reading, I completely forgot to write before midnight. So I missed a day.
On average, I still topped over 200 words a day even after missing one. Started at 18,063 according to last week. Today I’m at 20,235.
- February: Work on Stray Cat
- Basically just finish the draft I started. Though this is a February thing, I’ve been chipping away at it.

- March: TBD
- Might work on Trinity’s Awakening
- Might edit Alley Cat
- Bonus Goal: Work on New Adult novel
- Maintaining 100+ words a day over at Word Count Union. This is on top of any other goals I have. I’m really liking it. I figured at 100 words a day, I’ll finish this novel this year. Still going strong! Last check-in I was at 20,630. Today I’m at 22,626. Not sure what happened there. Almost 2k.

So that’s it. I’m doing better with some goals than others.

Seems that you have everything under control
Congrats on reaching your word count goal too!
Considering all of the successes you’re achieving with your goals, a single “#FAIL” is really not.
Keep on chugging!
Hurray for exceeding your 200 words a day goal. Missing one day to read a good book is not a miss, especially if you more than made it up. Sometimes the impromptu inspirations are just as important as the planned ones.
Is your 8k story a long short? (That sounds weird.)
