My only new years resolution is finishing my original M/M Regency historical novel. I want to do it in the first half of the year, too. I'm at 20 chapters and about 90K words.
Wow, that's a lot! I'm writing my 30th chapter right now, and I think I'm at 140k words. And it still feels like the real story has just started ;_; But I always enjoy stories with a long introduction phase myself, so that's maybe not a bad thing.
How much more do you think you have to write? And how do you make time for writing? Since I'm working until 7pm, I'm always too exhausted to write in the evening, but my work doesn't start until 9:30am so theoretically I have more time to write in the morning. A week or so ago, I changed my daily schedule and I'm now getting up one hour earlier than usual to write for an hour before going to work. Of course, I'm not writing a lot in that time, but it's better than nothing. So all in all, my new strategy works well so far and I really hope I will finally finish this beast of a book in 2015!
I'm so excited for your novel! Will you post a chapter or two on LJ, too?

Thank you for being excited for my novel! I'm excited too. I'm impatient for it to be finished. I see it all so clearly in my head but the actual writing takes time, as I'm sure you know from your own experience as a writer

Reading your comment really makes me want to write right now, but it's already too late for today to start. Typical! ;_; (I had a school day today which means I had to get up at 6am, so I didn't get up one hour earlier to write because that would just be crazy. School days are the exception from my rule. Which sucks
