I’m late posting this, but I was chasing after word counts and got busy I’m going to give abbreviated reports of totals as I burned the crap out of my hand yesterday and it isn’t too easy to type just now. For the period of October 21st through 27th, our high day goes to Keri Ford with 2600 words! Our high week total goes to Shawn Hansen with 6775 words! Good job y’all!

many thanks, Kait! This has been such a valuable exercise, even though I haven’t done as well as I’d hoped. What a fabulous way to warm up for the word count excesses of November 😉
I’ve been plotting a lot the last couple of days, but as for actual writing… Sat down three times to start something and got nowhere… We’ll see – I’m parking butt in chair right now for my fourth attempt of the weekend…
Thanks, Kait!!! I was MIA at a chapter retreat this weekend, but managed 900 words on Saturday. Totally unexpected. Friday and Sunday were busts. 🙁
Hi! I actually got sick this week but did manage to write a total of 700 words. Not too bad.
I have to pull as well – my one WIP is now three! Arghhhh! Don’t care enough if you don’t know enough background, and the background I know is so complicated . . . also now on to extensive plotting – must have more for the backstory. I’ve never sat down and outlined like this before, so its a new process for me. Back to those Plotter vs Panster posts!
