I seem to keep losing track of time and getting distracted. I’m only up to 12k for this story, far from my goal of 70k, but still more then I managed before. Guilt is a surprisingly good motivator. I’m still here and still working, just very slowly. ^^

Go Jess! You’re amazing!

I’ve finally gotten back to revising whenever possible (and not getting many new words). Which means I’m not going to dilly-dally commenting here!

I hit 100k today. Just 5k more and I’ll hit my goal! Not sure if I’ll have this rough draft finished by the end of the challenge. If not, it’ll be close.

This pushed me to finish something I’d put off for years. Now I wait for court documents to clean up and keep from being sued. It is so exciting. It has been easy at first, then very hard with illness and family problems, but I completed more than I ever dreamed I could. Thank you.

Over 7K since Sunday, bringing my total to 81179. I’m not close to finishing the draft, though, so I’ll keep banging away at it through the end of May.

Ugh. Only 1157 since I checked in last week. I’ve had tons of visitors, stuff to do for doctor appointments, etc. And I got off my groove of writing every day a couple weeks ago and haven’t been able to get back on. *sigh*

Doctor appointments all day tomorrow, PT on Friday, and kid and family stuff this weekend scheduled. I doubt if I get any words done for the rest of this challenge (which I have failed in the stated count but succeeded in getting much further in my WIP ).

We’ll see. But I plan to get some words down the rest of this round anyway, even if not lots. And then I get to start over, right?

It’s done!!! I can’t believe it - I just typed “The End.” Yes, I always type it in even though I take it out before subbing. Nothing beats that feeling, y’know?

Although my book came out 10k shorter than I expected, that’s not a bad thing, as I usually have the opposite problem. I also tend to layer in details and emotion in the revisions - yep, the real work’s just beginning!

I honestly did not think I could write this much while working my full-time day job. Big thanks to Sven and all the sponsors for the kick in the tail! This challenge has been awesome!

3000 wds since Sunday. I’m going to fall far short of my goal for this challenge. You’d think with my paltry word count I’d be glad to see the (attractive) tail end of Sven, but I’ll miss him.

I’m plodding along each day getting at least a little done. I’m at 50,211 for Sven plus for the last fortnight I’ve been judging a comp so I’m happy with this weeks progress. I’m getting about 1,200 words a day down, I should reach my target although it hasn’t all been on one novel. I really have to stop adding novels to my WIP. LOL. I had 5 at one stage now I have 12.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop these people from jumping into your head? Mine is getting pretty crowded.

Good luck with the rest of the week everyone.

Hugs

Well I’ve not finished writing for today, however I did a rough count up this morning and I’m about 7k short of 60k. However that is very rough and I think it’s a bit less then that so I’ll be hitting 60k before the end that’s for sure!

Off to work on another wip now.

Hope everyone’s having fun!
