Book Challenge!

Summer is approaching. I’m revving up my engines, getting ready for the Grand Novel Finishing Project. Book in a month, baby! I’m on page 130 of my new wip and I love it so much I’m going to finish it even without an editorial wouldbeinterested letter. :thumbsup: Yes, I know that’s a marketing risk, but whatever. :blahblah:

The husband is out of town for the next week, so the evenings are mine, ALL MINE! I love the man dearly, but it’s hard to work with the interruptions.

So, if anyone is interested in having daily page challenges, I’m going to post my output at the bottom of my blog entry. I’m a natural competitor (gee, I’m sure you didn’t know that!!) and I love to participate in writing challenges. We can encourage each other to outdo the other person’s page count. Though I think Chrys has me beaten so far. :)

Last night’s output: 7 pages. My goal was 5, so I met and exceeded it.
Today’s goal: 7 pages. Maybe I’ll exceed that? Depends on the kidlets. :typing:

    yes, you can love the male person dearly, but a week apart sure gives you a lot more writing time, doesn’t it??

    Good luck on those pages! I’d join you, but I’m in the brainstorming, formulating, thinking stage right now.


  2. Amy K. Says:

    I just may join you, since I really need to BOOK. :typing: I need to get my head out of a fog here today and try to focus. I have to do a couple days of organizing (going through the next 100 pages that I actually do have written but that I know need to change, possibly significantly.) So whether I join you or not, good luck to you. Rah rah rah! :cheer:

    I’m starting a new proposal Monday - I’m ready to rock and roll! Bring on the challenge! :cheer:

    Note to self: Shove kids in pool. Type like a fiend. :typing:
    Michelle, you would not believe how swollen my ankles were yesterday after my typing blitz. Oh my! :shock:
    I’m ready for the challenge! Let’s cheer each other on :cheer: and type like we can’t type no more :typing: . Oh. And duct tape the children. :twisted: Heh
    Grins*

    Duct tape sounds like a plan, Chrys. That and a good length of rope! I’ve only managed 2 pages so far because I keep hearing, “She’s stealing my toy!” and “Don’t hit me!”

    Ah, siblings…

    Dude, how come the little typy guy showed up as an url??


  9. Michelle Says:

    Is there some sort of setting on your browser? I’ve seen that happen before in a few of your posts. Very weird.
