Kerri's Progress Notes:
Well, I'm not doing too well on my reading challenge. Need to make a real effort to step this up today.
Alas, I was up until midnight editing due to my great 8K writing total from yesterday! Then awoken at 3 a.m. by sickie poo kid. So, I running on empty this morning. Need more caffeine.
Best of luck to all who are sticking with it. I'm rooting for you all!

Hello!
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting to log in with my word count.
I read all of the time, getting that part done is no big deal at all. I read all tucked in on my Kindle Touch, till the sleep meds kick in and nothing makes sense anymore.
Today, I have 5072. I hope we aren't expected to knock out the world's next best seller during the month.

Today's Book Note: Invading thoughts of a certain gentleman
I am preparing for a birthday party by the time I got to writing I felt pretty tired. I don't know how much writing I will get done this weekend with the party coming up.
I wrote 600 words today despite still having company and read in bed until the wee hours. But I edited two chapters and I've reached the halfway point on the short story 3000 words. And I posted 3 crits of other peoples works. Moving on.
ReplyDelete@Barbara~
ReplyDeleteNo problem. Both of your daily totals look swell. You are doing a great job. Keep it up!
@Marie~
Feel better!
@Beth~
Dog tired? ME TOO! Interesting take on Nora's books. I've only read a couple and thought they were good. But she's doing something right (check out her sales). LOL
@Aidee~
I think broken appeals to women because we are "fixers" by nature. I know I am. Double Yay on the word count!
@Sally~
It doesn't have to be a best seller on this draft, but what if it becomes one? Then you could say...I wrote it during the 1k/1k challenge @theBookBoost! :-) And your word counts are phenom!
@Linda Bell~
You rock! Yay!
@Cynthia~
Hey, I did the party stuff this past week and it really upset my schedule. Followed by a sick kiddo--I feel your pain. Write when you can and you'll make up for it later. Keep up the fab work!
@Teresa~
I miss reading in bed. Hubby is sensitive to even the tiniest light source. So, I've become a sofa/kitchen/guest room reader! I had a down day with writing despite my running back and forth to the keyboard--only got in one 15 minute segment. Bummer! You're doing great.

I almost forgot to check in with my totals (such as they are) for yesterday. Not a good day, and no excuses for it, either. Just played too much on the computer, procrastinated and was then too tired to write or read.

@BetsyG~
ReplyDeleteRealizing where your time is actually going and taking ownership of that is the first step in getting back on track. You'll do better today!
@Marie~
Getting outdoors is great and can do wonders for productivity. Well, around here...we only have a short time before we burst into flames when we step outside. But I plan to enjoy it while I can. Yay on the word count!
@Lynnette~
You rocked it, girl! Woot!
I'm going to close comments for Day #5.
