Year of Accountability 4/5-4/11


Howdy everyone,

So far, the Year of Accountability has seen roughly 40,000 words written! That’s a lot, especially for me! I’m really proud, but so far I’ve only accomplished one goal – completing The Last Gladiator.

(What, you don’t know what that is? Check out my entire series – the Steam Empire Chronicles – On Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Smashwords. The first book is FREE right now on Smashwords, as part of their “Give Back” Sale, and the rest of my books are discounted!)

The next goal is to finish the rough draft of A Brief History of New Caesaria. It’s tricky, but definitely fun, as I get to play with both formatting and font in this novella. I’m also going to be making sure that my beta readers get a crack at it each time I finish a small component, so that I can see how I’m doing.

I already said that my goal for this last week was to do nothing. I did a bit more than ‘nothing’ but 5,000 words in this novella is already pretty good. My goals for this week are…

  1. Read a book I promised to read and do a review.
  2. Read a friend’s writing and give feedback.
  3. Blog every day.
  4. Write and work on A.B.H. every day!

So somewhat of a lot to do, but I’m planning on doing my ‘one hour a night’ practice tool, which has always been beneficial for me.

Hang in there folks.
