Word counts

Right well today I have reviewed all my deadlines and word counts for this semester at uni. As far as I know I have 2 deadlines. The 27th of April for my creative writing modules and the 5th of May for my English modules. Even though I am doing a single Honours in Creative Writing I do English modules to make up my credits and also it gives me a chance to do stuff I missed out on during A Level because my sixth form was not up to standard in my opinion. Anyway I've come up with a plan to get everything done and in on time.

Module 1: 2500 word portfolio and editing report

Module 2: 2500 word Portfolio

Module 3: 3000 word Essay x 2 (English)

Module 4: 1750 word Essay x 1 (English)

Wk 1 - 15-21 March Module 2 - The fairy story research and creation of modern telling

Wk 2 - 22-28 March Module 3 - Essay of 2000 words on two pieces of literature

Wk 3 - 29 - 4 April Module 1 - Short story (original concept) with report

Wk 4 - 5 - 11 April Module 3 - Essay of 1000 words on one piece of literature

Wk 5 - 12 - 18 April Module 4 - Essay on American autobiography 1750 words

Wk 6 - 19-25 April Module 2 - Short genre based story with a twist

After this the ones needed for the 27th will be edited and handed in and the others will be finalised for the week after. Obviously I wont be sticking to one subject a week and things will dip in and out but this is the basic plan.

Fingers crossed for me guys, If and when I am writing for a publisher, deadlines and word counts will be a big part of what I am doing so I gotta get used to it.

P.s I've put a survey up on the home page for you guys to answer, purely out of curiosity really but I would like to know the answers so if you could spare a few seconds I would be grateful x
