Progress Notes from Kerri:
Yesterday was a bad day for work progress but good day for family. Daughter's birthday a success--word count half way there. No reading. Must catch up today! Cut index finger right hand this a.m. so typing proves to be a challenge. Ugh!
Proud to see all of you hard at work.
I'm reading all the wonderful comments.

What I'm writing? Boy was this hard today for some reason!
Book: The Cabinet of the Dead (short story)
Today's total word count: 1047
What I'm reading?
Book: Expedition to the Mountains of the Moon
1K Completed: Yes!
Today's Book Note: I think if the time traveling in this book was to a time farther away from the protagonist's own time it wouldn't be as confusing.
Quickly checking in for today:
Writing: still "Spring Eternal", word count 1576
Reading: Savannah En Péril by Sylvie Payette.
Thanks for the encouragement! :)
Quick check in -
Hopefully I'll write later tonight.
A dear friend was in town and I spent the day doing other things, not a common occurence but a much needed one.
I nearly forgot to log in!
Okay, I have 2864 words and need to get on the ball... what did I do? Oh, right, I had chat duty at the writer's chatroom.
I'll try to get back before midnight with a few more words...
Still reading the Testament..

What I'm writing?
Book: Untitled
Today's total word count: 4,000 (roughly) for a total of 10,236 words.
I was reading your comment back and then, after doing some investigating, found that I was putting my total word count… for my entire book.
To clear things up… I wrote 4,000 on the first day (roughly), 3,000 on the second (roughly), and 3,000 again today (again, roughly.)
What I'm reading?
Book: Bells by Jen Calonita
1K Completed: I started somewhere around chapter fifteen (page 198) I went on to finish the book (page 352) just a few minutes ago (I wish I had something better to day like… “I was just lounging and decided to read a bit –what? 200 pages? Please! That is nothing for an established author such as me.” Alas I cannot, nor will I ever be able to, say that.)
Today's Book Note: I will not say I saw the ending coming (although I did. You can thank Amazon reviews for that one. Go on, thank ‘em.) It was enjoyable all the same. I loved Jen Calonita’s Secrets of My Hollywood Life Series. It expanded my reading to more than just rereading Twilight and Harry Potter. I have had this book on my shelves since June of 2012 (It came out in April and I couldn’t find it anywhere –B&N is out to get me) but kept putting it down because the two main characters just weren’t Katelyn Burke! This challenge really… challenged me to get through this book and I am so glad. I LOVED IT!

3101 words, 4 scenes. A handful of cops and one dead body in a plastic trash bag with faded pink drawstrings.
In the book I am reading it seems the old man was thick with very shallow family members.

Work kept me busier today, so I didn’t get as much writing in as I would’ve liked. Plus, it’s our gym night, which takes 2 hours (with travel time) from my evening, and pretty much zaps me. Still, I was able to get some pages in, so I’m happy about that. Three days in a row so far. Yay!

@Aidee~
It will get harder and there will be a point when you want to quit. That's when you have to push!
@Barbara~
Yay to word count! I'll always be here cheering for you. Love to see others accomplish their goals.
@Marie~
Say "hello" to your friend!
@Sally~
I know about those duties. Hang in there. You're doing swell! 3101 deserves a Woot and a Squee!
@Jordan~
You're still doing above and beyond. Uber fantastic! Thanks Amazon Reviews! (Cause you told me to) ;-)
@Beth~
It all adds up in the end. Keep at it. Push Push Push!
@Cynthia~
Thanks for keeping me updated. Only a few of you hanging with it and I appreciate it. You are rocking and rolling!
@BetsyG~
The mud will get thicker and thicker before you hit your stride. Fight it. Push through. It will get easier after the struggle.
@Lynnette~
Those pages are golden. Particularly when you have outside duties pulling you in every direction. I'm there with you--trust me. Keep up the fantabulous work!
I'm going to close the comments on Day #3.
