ROW 80 Check-in 31st August

A simple but effective three days since last check-in. Plan was to add words to my WIP with my mini-goal of reaching 30,000 words before I return to work on Friday.

Now for the word counts.

Monday - 2269 (an hour and a half of writing)

Tuesday - 828 (50 minutes of writing)

Wednesday - 1215 (57 minutes of writing)

So that is 4312 words in three days! So my WIP wordcount is 28,206 words which means today/tomorrow I need to write 1794 words which seems achievable I hope.

I have also done a walk instead of drive journey so that is one exercise done this week.

Hope everyone has had successful weeks! I am off to work on my non check-in post for this week.

3 weeks to go!!!

  4. Oh wow! You're doing SO well. 1794 is so achievable in 2 days. I'm well impressed with your over 2k day! Just think... that's more than in a NaNo day...

  5. Keep up the great work! You'll hit your 30k goal. How are you feeling about the words you're getting down? I have days in which I'm extremely satisfied with my writing, and a few others where...not so much! Ha!
    Talk to you soon ~ Nadja

  6. Gene - I definately need to keep up the exercise, feel so much better for it once it is done!

    Claudia - You are right. After going to the shop I hope to sit down and write my way to 30k but if not, I have achieved a lot over the last few days!

    Thank you Wendy! I will try but day job is going to get in the way! Will see how it goes, fingers crossed!

    Newtowritinggirl - thank you! It did make me think maybe I can handle NaNo, it will just be finding the time.

    Nadja - I hope I do hit 30k. The words I am getting down....some I like but I think there will be A LOT of editing. Something you said on your check-in has inspired the topic of my non check-in post this week....will be sure to link it back to you!

  8. Yay, wonderful update! Great job on the word count, and happy to hear that you managed to get a walk in. I've finally forced myself to get back to using my glider, and even though I dread the workout, I always feel loads better once I'm done.

    Have a great rest of the week!
