We're Sprinting in Five Minutes! Come Join the Fun!

Okay, I've got my playlist ready and I'm all pumped up to get this done!  I hope you are, too.  I will check back here every fifteen minutes with a little update on my progress.  I hope someone is able to sprint with me tonight.  (I'm also over on Twitter if you want to check in there, too.  @juliebellon)

See you in fifteen!  Ready, set, go!

Yay, let's get going!!!!

Janice Sperry said...

Eek! I'm late. Curse you longer days!

Julie Coulter Bellon said...

That's okay, Janice, we'll still take you!

Woot, Debra, I've got a good feeling about tonight.

I've written five new pages so far. Woot! It's just running off my fingers. How are you doing?

Debra Erfert said...

20 minutes into the sprints and I've written 471 words. Is that good? Bad? Average?

Julie Coulter Bellon said...

Hey, that sounds great to me! We can totally do this. *hunches down at desk*

Janice Sperry said...

310 words. I keep wanting to go back and edit. So. Hard.

Julie Coulter Bellon said...

Okay, we're half an hour in and I've written eight new pages. Woohoo! I think I love sprinting. How are you doing?

Julie Coulter Bellon said...

Janice, that's hard for me, too, but I'm resisting so far. Don't give in! :)

Debra Erfert said...

I'm not writing as much as I am checking my Twitter account and blog comments. *grins*
*Hunkers down now*

Julie Coulter Bellon said...

Pulling out the big guns to finish strong. My Def Leppard and AC/DC songs have never failed to motivate me. Here we go! Last fifteen minutes!

Janice Sperry said...

851 words. Not bad. :)

Julie Coulter Bellon said...

Okay, here's my sprinting results. I drafted ten new pages. I am SO proud of myself. Of course there will be a lot of editing to be done on it, but you can't edit a blank page, right? I think I love sprinting and I'm so glad to have some friends to do it with. How did you guys do?

Julie Coulter Bellon said...

Janice, that's awesome! :)

Debra Erfert said...

900 words. Not the greatest, but that is 900 words I didn't have an hour ago. Thanks Julie for the sprint!!!!

Janice Sperry said...

Yay for getting some writing done. Thanks for doing this, Julie. I totally need to motivation to say no to Twitter and Facebook. :)

Julie Coulter Bellon said...

Debra, that's totally awesome! I'm proud of us! Thanks for sprinting. It was so fun!

Julie Coulter Bellon said...

You're totally welcome Janice. Thank you, too!

Janice Sperry said...

Just realized you guys were on Twitter too. *facepalm* I'm working on getting all this social media stuff.

Favorite thing written tonight:

Algae wanted to tell Carly that most witches would die to have her mismatched eyes and blotchy skin, but he didn’t know how to put it without sounding like he liked her. So he grunted instead.

It needs a bit of tweaking but it makes me giggle.

Julie Coulter Bellon said...

LOL Janice, I wondered why you weren't responding to our tweets!

That is a funny line. Favorite thing I wrote tonight? Hmmm... okay, this was my favorite revision tonight.

"He was silent, the gun in his back and the slight clicking of the bomb directly behind him making his tongue thick."

I didn't 'join the sprint" but I did write because my hubby was in Provo getting a new dishwasher. I wrote almost 3,000 words last night.
