We've reached the FINISH line!
Well, it was a long week and I even tried to schedule a "do over" day on Monday in an attempt to reach my goal. BUT you know what they say about the best laid plans. On Sunday night, I came down with the nasty bug that was harassing my kids all week and weekend. Thus, I'm sad to report that my "do over" day was a dud!
Nevertheless, I'm proud to report my week long totals.
Old project WIP new words written: 20,254
New project WIP new words written: 3,187
Total word count achieved this week: 23,441
I think this is pretty darn swell and I'm proud of the work we did. Thanks for being on my team and taking the journey with me.
I'm so close to finishing my novel now. I think one more challenge will push me over the finish line for good. So, I'll be starting a 3K-a-day for 5 days only challenge starting Monday, August 22nd here at the blog.
Hope you'll consider coming back for more push toward success.

Congrats on those fantastic numbers! I'm so sorry you're not feeling great - I hope you feel one hundred percent soon!
Thank you so much for the lovely prize, I'm soooo excited!!!
Yesterday I managed to get in 2040 - had a lot of other things to take care of that weren't writing related. So total for the challenge = 23,625!
That is 16,275 on my novella and 7,350 on current WIP :) WOW - I got more writing done this week than I have in the last three weeks.
Part of this success has to do with using the 15 minute intervals that you suggested in your fantastic workshop, so thank you for that plus the challenge. I've had a blast and look forward to the next challenge!

Wow, I'm amazed at your totals! (Both Kerri and Nancy!) I'm so inspired.
I added 2245 words on Monday (in spite of late meetings and overnight company), which gave me a total of 18,517 on my WIP and another 1801 on another project. I still can't believe it! The 15 minute intervals made it happen. Thank you again, Kerri!
And a prize too. Wow! Can this day get any better? :-)
I’ll be back for the next challenge!
Write on too!
Hope you're feeling better.
And thank you for the awesome prize.
I did more than I realized. I had a total of 13,881 new words written and finished two short stories. I also plowed through most of the edits on a novel.
I'll be back for the next challenge!
Thank you, Kerri, for the prize. You are so kind. It was fun. I'm blown away by your numbers. I completed 6129 words on my WIP for the week. It's the most I've ever done in 1 week, so I'm learning.
