Projects for December

[tawek.livejournal.com]

This thread is to describe your next planned project starting in December.  It can be any length.  In November some went for 500 or 5000 words, one or two even for 10000 or 20000.

This seems a good place to repeat Altariel's excellent prose about what Picowrimo is about ...

• The aim of this community is to help keep people writing.
• To this end we have (at least weekly) prompts for people to post about what progress they're making and to give encouragement to others to hit their writing targets. 
• There are no goals other than those you set for yourself, and no compulsion beyond what you put upon yourself. There are no limits on genre, style, age, or experience, and both fiction and non-fiction are welcome.
• Participants are welcome to post excerpts (rated for a general audience), ask questions and for advice, provide insight into the writing life, and so on. Although we are not a reviewing, editing, or beta-reading community, links to completed stories are also welcome. 
• The only thing we ask is that you help keep the atmosphere friendly and supportive.

I have two main goals for December:

• Finish Yuletide story by the Dec. 19 deadline. Subgoal: have the first draft complete & ready for beta-reading by the end of this week.
• Read the overgrown outline (~30,000 words) I completed in September and sketch necessary revisions/additions/etc to make an actual novel out of it.

I haven't set a word target for the month; since I'll be concentrating on revisions it doesn't seem likely that I'll be adding many new words.

Best of luck with both the Yuletide story, and revising 30,000 words - a significant task in itself.
