Word Counts

I fell far short of my 2K goal on Oct 2. I made 816. But PROGRESS! So don't be afraid of posting goals and falling short. That's what we're here for, to support you -- in triumph or squeaking by or a little less than you'd hoped.

Love,
Robin

October 5th word count, okay page count. It took me almost 3 hours, but I finally edited my ten pages! The last few are definitely going to need going over again, but it is coming along nicely!! I don't think I would have made it to ten today if I hadn't had this to push me.

Thanks!
Jessie

I wrote 1,300 words today. =)
Today I edited about thirteen pages. I am sooo close to being done with this 25, 000 word book I might actually bust it. That's what editing is for! Go team!!

Yesterday, Oct. 6th I fell short doing only 9 pages instead of 10. But I'm okay with it. Life has been very hectic this week and I'll be lucky to get much done today at all. And of course Sat. is the tea, so that will take the whole day. Maybe Sunday will be better ;) .

Wow, Hillary is our STAR! Congratulations. So good to hear news that someone triumphed! Yesterday was good/interesting for me (word count wise), I did 1753 but on a project that I shouldn't even be thinking (much) of.

It was FABULOUS to get CRW's Lifetime Achievement Award, I'm sure that gave me a boost. THANK YOU!

Yesterday i still was packing tea cups from the tea, but i still managed to edit 6 pages!! and i came up with a phenomenol opening for a new story line in the car!! My notebook was missing so I wrote it on the back of my latest RWA mag. Good thing I always carry something to read!

Hey Robin, You deserved that award! You may feel like you are writing a little slow right now, but as i am sure you know, life is like that and you have so many credits to your name in such a short time!! You are amazing and it is wonderful to be in a group with writers like you!

Yesterday was a 10 hour day of revision for (ostensibly) chapter 8 -- which included going back to 6 and 7 and creeping into 9.
