SCHEDULE

Without any particular plan, it took me five months to write the first draft of Godtalk. Keeping that in mind (and doing the math), I'm scheduling five months to crank out the first draft of School Spirit. I figure that works out to about ten pages a week, forty pages a month, for a total of a 200 page manuscript--give or take. This seems like a completely reasonable and manageable goal. I have about a half an hour every morning before work to get some writing down. That means roughly two pages every session. Although when you put it like that, it seems like quite a bit. But I've been known to be "in the zone" and work through four or five pages in that half an hour, so we'll see what happens.
