Hi folks,
thereeness: I think that's sound progress. Keep moving forward; editing has its time, and it certainly shouldn't come during the drafting phase.
Your paleo diet sounds interesting - glad it's helping you with energy
Keep us updated about how it goes.
Pterofan: Nice word count. I love love love Carry On! I loved Fangirl as well, and basically all of Rowell's YA works. Amazing, super amazing author. I hope you enjoy Carry On! It did remind so much of HP, and I loved it all the more because of that.
Taylor: I'm sure you'll be able to do that. You've been on a steady path so far
Layla: I've been trying your time-tracking technique for half the day, and it's revealing a lot of things ... At least now I know where all my missing time is going (i.e. in chatting and breaks that go longer than I'd consciously allow myself). My next step is to be more aware and strict about those minutes and hours.
17 WPM out of a target of 50 - that means you've accomplished 35% of your goal. Well done! You'll get to 50 soon enough
Keithy: Ouch for Shana's situation ... Her bona fide intentions sure backfired badly. Also, 333 is a lucky number - fingers crossed for you
Daniel: 1355 words is still great progress (along with the no-smoking)! And congrats on starting the new novel. It's always an exciting process.
KatMitch: The alarm thing sounds like bummer. The rewrite of the first chapter, though - huge congrats! I always love the idea of a strong first chapter.
Day 15: Slow, started late. That's been the pattern these last few days ... It's probably a sign of waning motivation, but I did do a few things to remedy that. And I succeeded in finding the missing tension from my current chapter and coming up with a solution to fix that. A nice day, but I'm aiming for more tomorrow. I really need to get focused.
Nice job, everyone, and good luck for another day
