Good luck with the challenge to all my Sweatmates, old and new. I hope that we all reach our goals, whether it be to achieve a full on 1000+ words a day, or a simple commitment to always write something or edit something each day.
Happy perspiration!

Good luck everyone! I’m starting today too — I’ve got a killer deadline to meet!

Good luck everyone! I am so psyched (which is fortunate considering the “I Hate My Book” Day I had yesterday). I’m over 30k into the 100k single title I’m working on at present, which is exactly where I wanted to be for the start of Sweat 3. Daily goals of 1k, Weekly of 7k. Which is mostly what I’ve been doing anyway since I got started on Sweat 2. I’m not gonna say “cakewalk” but I feel much better about where I am starting out this round than last. Bring it on Sven!

Ready. Set. Write!
Good luck, everyone!!

Good luck everyone! Sven is watching!!! (He scares me)
March 1st, 2008 at 11:53 am
I don’t feel ready, but I’m not willing to waste one of my seven free days on a sinus infection.
Good luck, y’all!

Here’s to Sven! And making myself sweat this go round.

Happy March 1st everyone. Let’s take a deep breath and start Sweating.
I am hereby amending my initial goal. I’m in the midst of entering ALL I’ve handwritten to date, which is proving to be a lot more that I originally thought.
Once it’s entered, I’ll review same and hopefully have a better idea of who these people are and where I’m going with them.
And, “ACTION!”
March 1st, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Okay. I just signed up. So now I must LEAVE the Internet and go write my 1k words!
Good luck, everyone!!
March 1st, 2008 at 12:44 pm
I’m here to sweat
I’m probably not going to be working on much as far as new projects, but I do have an extensive rewrite I need to get in to a requesting agent. So I need to get my butt in gear! Good luck!
March 1st, 2008 at 1:12 pm
Yay! I won’t be officially starting until tomorrow, but I can’t wait! I’m dying to get back into writing.
I have to say my personal goals are 500 words a day (I have a full time job, part time activities AND am pregnant. 500 is really, really good for me, lol). But in addition, I want to finish this book, edit it, send it off to the CPs, and then the beta readers (hopefully all before these 70 days are up!)!
Good luck to everyone else who’s sweating!

Good luck, everyone! I’m starting a brand new novel for Round 3, and I’m excited.

Good luck everyone! I’ll be checking back tomorrow. Man today was a hard start!

Yes, good luck everyone.
March 2nd, 2008 at 2:29 pm
YAY
I wrote about 800 words on 3/1 and once my son settles down I hope to do 1200 today to make up for the 200 I missed yesterday
Good Luck to everyone!
