Sweating Update

Dawn nudged me to update my progress.

I signed up for 750 words a day.
Last night I wrote 1445 words.

That puts me at 193% of goal :)

Seventy Days of Sweat – Update 3

As of today, I’m now at:

Total New Words: 13,817
Average Per Day: 1,382

My aha moment is that I managed to write, even worried over my sick cat, once I set myself down to do so. The words came, not perfect and not in final form, but they DID come.

Still not at my 1500 words per day goal, but I have been writing every day.

Seventy Days Of Sweat – Update 2

As of today, I’m at:

Total New Words: 10,060
Average Per Day: 1,437

Still a tiny bit short of my goal of 1500 new words per day but up from my prior report of 1,042. Maybe I can up it some more.

Seventy Days Of Sweat – Update 1

As of today, I’m at:

Total New Words: 3,125
Average Per Day: 1,042

Not as fast as I want – I’m trying for 1500 per day – but I’m an “edit as I go” person so I have to do at least prelminary edits on the prior day’s work before I can write more. It also helps me remember where I am in the story.
