The End (almost)!
Thanks to everyone who came out over the last seven days to participate in my challenge. Technically, today is the last day but since I'm just short of my goal (due to Thursday's delay) I'm going to add a Monday "do over" day and strive for a few more words.
Please join me if you want to. I'd love to have you with me.
Then, on Tuesday I'll be back with the final results and the challenge prize winners.
Here's how I did today:
Day #7
7:57 a.m. Scrolled through e-mail, got the children settled, woofed down some toast and started writing. I’m up to 798 on the first jaunt this day. Let’s go!
11:07 a.m. Update
Working through some class stuff that I got behind on this week. Made a dent in that and just now upped my count to 1558 words. Will be back in a bit. Have to do some e-mails and play with my 3 year old who keeps “accidentally” hitting me with her pink ball. :-o
1:28 p.m. Update
One toddler happy hour of fun and games, one shower, and some munchies later and I’m back at it. Up to 2380 just now and I think I’ve FINALLY figured out how to tie up all the loose ends. I hope! Plus, my last run there pushed me over the 60K mark on my manuscript and that’s very exciting. Back in a few.
4:24 p.m. Update
Late lunch with the kiddies. 3 yo refuses to take nap despite bribery! And I just ate a ton of Oreos with my 18 month old because he was in hog heaven sharing them with me. Now, I feel blah! Trying to get back to writing but can I say…oy!
5:06 p.m. Update
3216 words for the day! I decided to quit here and spend the evening with the kids. But I’ll be back for one more day tomorrow. Hope to see you there!

My husband got on my computer for awhile this afternoon & set me back, but I did write 849. Thanks, Kerri, for the challenge. I'm stopping since I have other things besides free writing to do this next week.
Thanks, Keri. I didn't make 4K a day, but I did make about 6K for the week- a feat I wouldn't have made without your challenge.
4085! Time to catch some winks before the day job starts over tomorrow. Good luck on your do-over day Kerri (and everyone else who tags along!). I'll be up until midnight doing laundry to catch up. (Hey, something has to give while I'm cramming through words...lol) ;)
only 2k today, had some promo materials for an upcoming conference to take care of, but I will be back at it tomorrow!
4010 words for Sunday - broken up throughout the day since it's mainly a family day for me. Very happy to have one more day after being plagued w/ health issues on Thursday :)
Hello to all! Day 7 - I managed 2410 words in spite of having more computer issues and getting ready for company.
Kerri - thanks so much for this challenge! It really helped me implement the 15 minute writing intervals and I've made a lot of progress on my WIP.
I'm definietly up for the do-over Monday! Thanks again!
I didn't do well yesterday at all. 867 new words and less than a chapter edited. But better than nothing.
