Christy started her 50K IN 50 DAYS personal challenge.
Day 1: She wrote just over 1k after debating whether or not to write HIDDEN CHARMS in present tense. (The decision was made after comparing two paras in past to two paras in present. She felt the text in present tense added a sense of danger (or something like that). It made the writing come alive in a way that past tense lacked.) The 1k brought her to the end of chapter 2.
Day2: She ended with just over 2k and at the end of chapter 3. She was worried that Day 3 would be hard to write and decided she needed to address her notes to add more details to know exactly where to take the action and characters next.
Day 3: As of Monday night (when Castle started) she had 0/1k written. UH OH!
She wrote another query (For FIXING SHELBY), one that may be "it", or at least closer (less of a synopsis, more of a teaser).
She's still struggling at her day job.
OH AND IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO JOIN IN WITH YOUR OWN 50K IN 50 DAYS!!!! If you decide to take the challenge, let Christy know. She'd love to have others to check in with, report to, and celebrate with!
Erica finshed edits and revisions on her full manuscript (!) and started a brand new project!
She echoes Christy's report that school has yet to improve.
BOTH OF US HOPE YOUR WRITING IS GOING SPLENDIDLY THIS WEEK!
Any good news to report?
Sounds like you're both making progress. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome. I would like to take you up on the challenge. Not sure how to start...
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Christy! 50 days sounds much more doable than NaNo's 30 days, but I've decided that this is my year for NaNo. We'll have to cheer each other on.
ReplyDeleteYou girls are rockin the progress! Now I feel kind of like a slacker. ;)
ReplyDeleteYay for progress!
ReplyDeleteHey, you're making progress. Don't think too much about how much you've done. Just keep going :) Have fun with present tense. I love it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a tough school year for you all. Perhaps that means it will be a successful writing year. I like to look on the bright side of things:)
ReplyDeleteHey, ladies, I emailed y'all but still haven't heard from you. Are you aware that you sorta won a contest?
ReplyDeleteCome see. :)

I'm glad things are going well for you! I'm gearing up for NaNoWriMo. 50k in 30 Days. It'll be my 6th year participating and I love it!
