Notes for February - summary of my progress

Here's a summary of my progress for February


February 6th - setting a really wimpy goal is 100 words of month is pure genius. I really don't write only a 100 words ever, but because I surpass my goal every day I feel really good about the momentum! I should think about doing something similar with my exercise goals...

February 7th - Request for more details on the main characters - who are they? what do they look like? What's the nature of the relationship? Probably need to get into that immediately in the next part published.

February 8th - good god, there are so many typos and tense-issues! I keep screwing that up. Maybe I *shouldn't* update daily. I'm looking like a fool....

February 9th - I received a complaint about too many proper nouns thrown out there (City of Arl, Ragusian steel, Chet-qan Empire, etc.)  I probably need to set aside a weekend and hammer out the full history and the names, places, races, towns, etc. so that I don't mix up the nature.

February 12 - I missed two days so far. Not too bad.

Feb 15th - got some interesting feedback about the world. Basically, one of my friends said I shouldn't try to re-gloss old history but build my own. Interesting point. May need to re-factor the setting.

Feb 16th - I got to stop with the typos.

Feb 17th - There is a holocaust-event in the middle of the story, and I'm trying to figure out the psychological implications as they go. I think i'll need to research some more.

Feb 20th - the holocaust needs to be different. Perhaps instead of mass death it's mass-rape and sterilization. Julie doesn't like the idea whatsoever.

Feb 28th - I am one third through this current story. I think it'll probably be a good long one. Julie promises/threatens to edit my work out of sheer embarrassment.

Total word-count of the month - 3014 words.
Goal -  2800 words.
Missed days: I missed 3 days of writing
