Hmmm I don't remember, Lisa. And I'm too lazy to go back pages lol. But I've switched to TL for now. Dunno if this will be permanent or not. It'd be kinda sweet if I could pub TL first though. It's so close to my heart since the MCs are totally Zack and me.

Tally, I'd YAWN, but I don't want to do it on here. I only YAWN on a private forum now. Maybe IM? Like FB chat?

ETA: If it's just the two of us

I already know what I'm going to do with the scene I'm stuck on. I'm gong to delete the bit after the bit where I got seriously stuck and then see where I go.

If I manage to hit 10K - 15K before I go back, I shall be happy with myself.

I think the most I've managed in a series of writing sessions is 2K - 2.5K...

My highest WC in one day was 14K. I've hit up to 7K on more than one occasion. It was for my very first draft of CMRH when I was trying to write it in 24 days (and finished it in 22)

I started out at 6.3K and I'm now at 6.7K. Gotta quicken the pace! *chugs coffee*

How long did that take?

Once, I did 600 words in 30 minutes. This is actually pretty good for me.

I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling to write. I'm at like 18k now and want 21k by the end of the day... I can't even bring myself to write. I'd do a word war if anyone wants to... those help.

Lisa - I was writing on/off for the last 2 hours.

Tally and I are YAWNing on FB chat in 8 minutes.

ETA: I'm open to doing a word war from :30 to :00 though

Karla, do you mean now :30 or :30 in an hour? Just so I don't get confused.

Now.

And I don't like posting snippets on public forums anymore, Ally. I only YAWN on my private forum.

Ok. I'm a little late on the word war then, but I'll try it anyway. Hopefully, it'll help with writing.

I'm hungry, so I had to stop. I got to 258 in 10 minutes.

Yay!

I'm about to see if I can figure out what to do with this scene - deleting some of it first - in preparation for later.

Good luck, Lisa!

Just under 7K. 3K more to hit the double digits! YAY! And 5K more after that to hit hopefully the Act 1 turning point! :D
