Pterofan: Have you got a reward planned for when you complete your streak?

Keithy: They range from about 4-6k.

Layla: Glad you’re feeling better. And woohoo for 1/2 page.

Daniel: Nice work on the essay. It makes a huge difference if you’re interested in the subject matter.

Okay I revised not even a half chapter yesterday—just a bit of a chapter. The final act still needs so much work :cry:

Day 28: Wee bit; 6 miles; Socialising

Day 28 - I think I made my 1000. It'll depend on whether the longhand comes out to 400 words or not (had more than the usual number of scribbled-out lines). I typed a flash scene of over 600 words, just to be on the safe side. Only two days left!

Today: coyotes on motorcycles to the rescue!

April - I've got the pizza place across the street on standby. My can of Cherry Coke is already waiting in the fridge. :e2headban

Daniel - one writer's utopia is another writer's dystopia. A romance writer of my acquaintance created what she thought a hidden enclave of shapeshifters would be like. Upon reading her description, my first impression was "Branch Davidian Compound." She clearly considered her version a shapeshifter paradise. I thought it would make the perfect backdrop for a YA dystopian trilogy. Some day, if the market changes, I may write my version. Without telling her, of course. :evil

Congrats on the 757, Keithy :)
sounds like a good day all in all Daniel!
April, good work with the sticking to it :D
Ptero - excellent!





Day 29 —


Still only feeling a little better. (Seems like a lot of people have been getting this cold…)


WIP - 1/2 page
R/SC - some cooking, errands, bit o’ spa time
BP/$$ - skip day, I guess…

April - that seems long to me, I switch to something else after 3K at most. perhaps I need longer?
Pterofan - Ooo I like the Coyotes on Motorcycles! :)
Layla - sending antibodies.

OK I did 1161 words on Demon Hunter today. I'm getting close to the conclusion, well over 60K total. Shana's just had her powers turned off. "She groped for the fount of her power, the core of her being… and found nothing but emptiness..."

I did some work on Sun Queen: I've made a list of questions and have answers for most of them. No doubt I will think of some others.
I've also laid out a draft outline for Logic Bomb.

non-writing

erm... laundry... KFC...

keep swimming.

April: Thanks! I know the feeling. I just edited 10 poems of mine that needed some work and the final result only came to 1000 words total. It's a high pursuit, the writing life! So much to do: so little time! :X

Pterofan: Congrats on the 1K! Ahahaha! One person's paradise is another person's nightmare-- I getcha!

Layla: Coming in solid for the near-end of the month! Nice!

Keithy: Nice Keithy! I love KFC but it's SO GREASY! Once in a blue moon! :D

Me: I edited, revised, and rewrote some 1000 words of poetry. It took a LONG time, but now I can await what people think! I'm also done ALL my coursework at this point and now it's just 2 exams. It's a good time for me! :D

Day 29 - went over the top on this one. Three and a half pages longhand! Since two and a half is about 1000 words for me, I estimate I did about 1400 words. It's almost over! One more day to go!

Since I have paid work waiting for me to get to it, I may not be able to keep up the daily 1000 words. At this point my time is better spent doing something that pays the bills. I'll take a shot at it, though. My goal for December is to finish at least one of the two books.

I did a little writing this morning, but not much. I'm going to go ahead and have my pizza and Coke tonight. Tomorrow we're supposed to get winter weather, rain/snow/sleet depending on the temps. I'm treating myself to the pizza in case I decide not to leave the house tomorrow.

Bit of a driveby here.

285 words done on Demon Hunter. I have to work out everyone's reactions to what's just happened and what's about to happen.

I'm wondering whether to make the sub-plot for Logic Bomb football or cheer leading.

non-writing:

Got the Christmas decorations down from the attic. It's not Christmas again??? sigh.

Day 30 - 1170 or thereabouts.

I MADE IT!!!! Better than a thousand words every single day for 30 days straight! I also failed to finish either of the two books I was working on, but that doesn't surprise me.

I estimate my total for the month was somewhere around 32K words (8000 words per week). I won't know for sure until I type up the last week's longhand.

I don't think I'll try to keep it up, not with paid work breathing down my neck. I went ahead and had my pizza last night.

See you all in December!
