Hopefully a Farewell to Procrastination
I’ve had two part written books which have stalled from severe bouts of procrastination: 'Fergie Time' and 'The Wobbly Odyssey.' I am now in need to finish one—or both—of these. They are both 80% or so complete (as far as first drafts go that probably means many miles from finished).
The 'Wobbly Odyssey: To Hull And Back' is currently 78,400 words from an initial target of 80k. In fact I reckon there will be a further 15k or so words to complete it. We’ll see.
The story is a comedic tale of three guys on an epic pub crawl taking in cities between Liverpool and Hull. So with me heading to Cleethorpes in four weeks maybe that would be a fitting way to fit in my writing (it’s not that far from Hull as the crow flies; but surprisingly distant by public transport). Can I complete the first draft by the time I go to DocksFest? I could even reward myself with an ale trip to Hull to celebrate. Well, er, maybe not in reality.
If it does prove to be ‘only’ 15k words to finish, well with 27 days to go right now then it’s only 600 words a day.
Let’s see. Watch this space.
