End of the year writing organization

[sam_gamgee]

So, at the beginning of the year, I was tightly crossing my fingers and *hoping like crazy* that I could finish the 250,000 SGA fic I wanted to write. Well, as of a few days ago, here's my end-of-year word count:

329835 / 250000 words. 132% done!

That includes:
- 258,335 words for the SGA epic
- 50,000 for the NaNo SGA fic
- 17,000 for an SGA fic that I scrapped because I realized that the plot needs more work
- 4,500 for revisions for my 2005 NaNo fic that's still not going to see the light of day yet, but it looks a lot better now

It doesn't include word counts for outlines and revisions prior to starting.

Looking ahead, here's what I have in my queue:
- 1 fic that I just got back from my beta (and hope to do the quick revisions on tonight before bed)
- 1 fic that's partially written that I'm going to start finishing the first of the year
- 2 OC stories that need character sheets and then need to be outlined
- 3 fics that just need to be outlined
- 4 partially done fics that have been looked over and outlined and now just need to be written/finished

And I feel pretty confident that I'm going to be able to get through all of that within this next year. As of right now, it looks like my word count goal for 2009 will be either 279,000 or 329,000 words, depending on how long I decide to make one of the stories.

Somehow, I feel like this should be the definition of insanity.

Thanks! I'm still not quite sure how I did it, but it's been a fun experience. :-P
