I'm an award-winning romantic suspense novelist, but in my free time I love to review books and my fave TV shows, as well as pass along great book deals, and eat Canadian chocolate---not necessarily in that order.

We're Sprinting!
Okay fellow writers and friends! We are sprinting!
You know the drill. Everyone comes back to the blog at 8:15, 8:30. 8:45 and 9:00 and reports their word count in the comment section.
370 that time. My babysitter has been called away so I don't know how good this last quarter will be, but I'm going to try to finish strong with a child in my lap. LOL
161 more words, and now that you mention distractions, Mike has the television on and watching American Pickers. Since we're in hotel, I can't exactly go to another room for quietness. A few more minutes, and a few more words!!!
Finished with another 330 so I now have 2786 total word count on my novella. I'm really happy with that! Thanks so much for joining me Debra and Kasey! You guys are awesome. I love how motivating it is to have people to sprint with. :)
Finished at 1966. Argh! Just shy of 2000. Oh, well. ;-) And can I just say, the writing is terrible? I swear, if I use one more cliche phrase I’m going to smack myself. But it’s all about the word count, right? LOL! Thanks guys!
I came in late and got 396 words for the last 20 minutes or so, sorry. We're on a different schedule with night time feedings, so it's going to be harder for me to participate. booooo!
Hello! I'm writing!
ReplyDeleteHey, Debra! I got 654 for the first fifteen minutes. Woot!
ReplyDelete483. Hi y’all!
ReplyDeleteOh, man! I'm such a slug. I've only got 185.
ReplyDeleteHi, Kasey!
Hey, Kasey! And Debra, I only got that many because I've been dying to get to the computer all day and get a scene down. :)
ReplyDeleteSee you in fifteen!
456 more for me. This chapter is shaping up really nicely!
ReplyDeleteUp to 984!
ReplyDeleteYou ladies are ripping! I only got another 208 words this quarter.

ReplyDeleteAnd Debra gets extra kudos for being in a hotel and still sprinting! :)

ReplyDeleteGlad to know you have so much done on your novella, Julie! Yay!
ReplyDeleteI got only 80 more words, but I'm terribly tired. Although I'm happy with what I did do.
Great job, Kasey!
I think we're all awesome and we have more words now than we started with. That's what counts! :) See what I did there? Counts? Haha!
