5th Day Nanowrimo 996 words

I have done a basic framework for chapter 1 to 3 , for the 4,5 i know what i want but havent definned fully to write it down. for 67891011 i know what i want and i will upgrade framework as i write other chapters

i enter nanowrimo with 996 words written months ago for chapter 4. so on the 5th day i should be at 12500 if i am to target 75000 words. that means I am terribly behind.

i have now leant to forget about writing the book , but to concentrate on writing. to concentrate on being rather than becoming. i hear this approach works well as focusing on goals is detrimental to progress. but achieving the goals from a hidden point of view tackling one day at a time

2 days to fix framework

i have tonight and tomorrow to fix up the framework , I can not go beyond that time is cruising. the last i worked on this book was in april. what happened to this goal? was there no commitment?
was there too much side tracking attemptng too many things at onece?
was i concentrating on fighting storms of life instead of stirring the sheep to its destination. November is mine

Targets for end of December 2007

fine draft complete biz book 75000 words
Gospel book- fine draft 38000 words
DRP book - fine draft 38000
then decide publication order when all 3 manuscripts are available

DAY ONE: Nanowrimo has begun

I have just submitted the research I was working on and so today I have to write away. I feel like working on both books but this just the same temptation i have heard before. I will work on the gospel book in December. write now all i need is to concentrate on business book and my Doctoral proposal COME WHAT MAY. I have been dragging my feet away for years and its not a good sign. its 1300 hrs, I woke up at 0400hrs as per promise but this was to finish up the previous work . I stand here under the cloud of a lack of a complete framework that was supposed to have been done long back in October. I am going to delay going into Nanowrimo by two days so that I polish up my framework and then write away on sartuday. My life can actually cahnge if I complete this work. the disaster recovery work also look promising in my market. i need the personal renewal book to establish a career. As for now whats important is to write away the biz book

current project closes tomorrow morning

Day 23

I have a full draft revised now of the current project , and I am excited that tomorrow i will be closing that chapter.
I would like to work tomorrow afternoon on the non-fiction framework for my book. I have the framework but it needs to be polished before nanowrimo. from the current work I have also learnt that its easier to revise a document when all facets you can think of are already in. that means I will try to add as much as posssible to my existing document without editing until the end of nanowrimo. they will be no need to print the document for the 30 days. revision will be done on 1st December 2007. this time i have to make it. its now 2 years with just a rough outline of the book. i also have a rough framework. the current project is also a good precursor to my doctoral proposal.

for my gospel book , I will just add blogs to shoutlife without structure as long its on renewal until it takes its own shape in a way that is sufficiently breakthru. I am also considering doing some 3o days in december writing a rough first draft of gospel book while cleaning up the business book. that will ensure that i have both books ready at the end of december 2007 as First fine Drafts.

targets:
  1. complete business book rough draft 30 november 2007
  2. Complete business book first fine draft 31 December 2007
  3. Complete shoutlife blogs /reignited blogs as rough draft of gospel book 30 November 2007
  4. complete gospel book first fine draft 31 December 2007
  5. Complete Doctoral Proposal rough Draft November 31,2007
  6. Complete Doctoral Proposal fisrt fine draft December 31,2007
I will start the research work for the books in January. the stages should follow the following order:
  1. rough Draft
  2. First fine draft
  3. Researched Draft
  4. Peer reviewed draft
  5. Edited draft
  6. Final draft
  7. published draft
I have no option but to work hard to achieve these dreams
Nanowrimo starts on the 1st there is only tomorrow to do the book's framework

Doctoral Proposal Revisted

I am considering revisting the doctoral proposal early so that if any opportunity avails itself to start at the end of the first quarter 2008, i can start. I know how hard it is to try to balance 3 projects in one month November 2007. the 3 projects are doctoral proposal, business book and gospel book. the gospel book can proceed at shoutlife.com blog without any word deadlines, the doctoral proposal can proceed to completion as it is related to business book. the gospel book will not need any structure for now. i will just keep on posting short pieces at shoutlife at least twice a week. but I will have to write the doctoral proposal at least thrice a week and the business book everyday. shoutlife will be written from the point of view and at the point of inspiration, whereas for business book it will be by force.

so the program for november is as follows:

gospel book: no min or max number of words per day. write anytime on inspiration can write at least once in 3 days

Business book write everyday. Focus. 1667 words per day. Target 50000 words. Doctoral proposal during working hours until completion. on 25 November compile all shoutlife and reignited blogs in one word file to make draft of personal renewal book

to plot a way forward on 1 december on:
  1. on when doctorate is possible and which university
  2. when to release business book and overal written strategy of consultancy company
  3. when to release gospel book and overal ministry strategy written down

I will continue to post gospel stuff on shoutlife.com. for the business book i will write it offline but provide updates on this blog.
