As suspected: I was in meetings all day, and since I have a flight leaving tomorrow at 5 AM, spent all evening getting ready to go. This is why I pushed to have extra words earlier--so that I wouldn't fall behind.
I am *not* going to feel badly about today's take. I worked. I wrote. And some days that is as good as it gets.

Yeah. I feel that way most days too. The important thing here is that we are all working towards a goal. And each writing session takes us closer to that goal, whether we ended it writing 10,000 words, or a measly 10. |

No writing yesterday. I didn't get home from the day job until very late and then had to do an emergency proposal write-up.
There will be words tonight, hopefully. February seems to be conspiring against me.

If I leave a note in my manuscript "This section sucks" do those three words count in my word count? Because they should  |

This challenge is just what I needed. I wish I could write like this every day of every month. It does feel great. Except for the head cold and the Nyquil hangover, I feel fantastic.
And I think all notes, even or especially "this section sucks" comments, should count. Twice, even.

Ack! Forgot to post yesterday. Been busy today, unfortunately not writing (helping my brother with something on his workman's comp case) so not much to brag on. Still, it's words, baby! Day 7: 667 Day 8: 1115 I'm at 9811 so far for the challenge, and almost 30,000 on the book. Which sounds good, but I'm about 4/5ths of the way through, and I was anticipating about 60,000 words total to make it a short novel.  I already have a subplot, and I'm not sure what else I could reasonably throw in. I do write lean, so once I go over the complete manuscript, maybe I can pick up some description and dialog to flesh it out. Maybe one of my characters should be kidnapped or go over to the dark side?  |

Correcting my numbers. I had a rare burst after dinner and wrote a couple more pages while the kid was in the spa bath. (a rare treat.)

I'm not sure where I am on the dailies, but I've got thirty-five thousand words over here. Today about three paragraphs of outline exploded into around six thousand words of actual first draft, I just kept bumping into little 'oh, actually I need to say that now, actually this needs to happen, actually it'd make a whole lot of sense for those two to have a scene together to set up that later bit' things.
