I set goals that I thought I would reach on our Kick in the Pants challenge given by Christine D'Abo. Here's my Wednesday report for the first half of week 1.
Goal: My goal was for 10,000 per week. Minimum.
From Sunday through today, I wrote approximately 4500.
This week's goal was to finish my first MS (15K) and move on and finish MOL for the Shreveport Conference Mar 1. Well, I reached 15k but...I can't actually say I finished it.
Complications:
I kept writing and writing and it just wasn't happening so I checked my settings and found that I'd unchecked inclusion setting for some folders in my writing program which had reduced my word count. Long story short, I'm over my goal of 15k but now I have to either lengthen the book or cut it to complete it which I will do later, it's not due til end of March.
Forgot we had a deer to process which would take half my Monday so I wrote 1700 by noon then took a four hour break, returning to investigate the word count issue.
Started on MOL today but had to re-familiarize myself with it again since I haven't looked at it for over a month and I'd planned changes to the story direction. So, no forward progress today.
All in all I'm pleased with my progress and will write forward tomorrow. If I get 2000 a day through Saturday I can still meet my goal of 10k this week.

You're halfway there, you can do it! Isn't it strange when you go back to a story you haven't worked on for a while - it takes a while to get your head back into it, doesn't it, but I often find myself excited by the story again.
ACK - blogger just ate my long comment!!
Here goes round 2.
Wow - you're doing terrific!! WTG
My progress?? Don't ask...
Let's just say, you're writing enough for both of us ;)
