STORY STARTER
Create your novel writing schedule today. List it here so we can all keep you accountable!
You most likely won't be able to write every day. Look at your plans, and make a rough schedule of when you can realistically tackle different parts of your novel.
Novel Writing Schedule
End of August 2025: Finish prewriting
End of December 2025: First 100 pages of first draft
May of 2026: Half to three quarters of the way done with first draft
October of 2026: Finish first draft, and start looking for editor and beta reader
December of 2026: Start work on second draft
June of 2027: Finish second draft, resend to editor, start working on marketing
August of 2027: Continue working on marketing and likely third draft, look to hire someone to design a cover
January of 2028: Finish third (and hopefully final) draft of novel, and work on deciding a release date, and possible events to go along with that
June of 2028: Ideally release my lesbian love story some time during Pride month this year, if all goes well.
*This is obviously just a rough schedule, hopefully I can get it published sooner, but it all kinda depends on how busy other life stuff is in the meantime*
