The year is over in a few days and I decided to look back on 2010, in terms of reading and writing:
1--The number of novels I finished
83,000--The word count of my finished novel
75+--An estimate of how many books I read this year
11--The number of query letters I've sent out so far
2--The number of new novels I started writing
2,500--The length of my only short story this year
19--The number of blog posts, including this one, for 2010
99--Percentage of how happy I am when I write (characters do make it difficult that other 1%)
125,000--The number of words I've written this year
This is rather silly, but it'll be interesting to compare the numbers at the end of 2011. Here's to a great year in 2011! (I may even start saying twenty-eleven instead of two thousand eleven.)

A Little Glimpse...

- Laura Hoak-Kagey
- United States
- I live slightly south of the "Most Literate City in the US" (Seattle), but we share the same weather, and in my mind, the same title. In addition to reading, I fill the rainy days by creating new worlds and characters who are forced to understand those strange worlds, which isn't too hard considering I've been the "fish-out-of-water" myself whilst living in Japan and England. I've finished my (hopefully) debut novel and am seeking representation.
