Well, my adventure in writing starts tomorrow

I am going to try to write 400 words a day for a total of 12,000 by July 30th. As a secondary goal, if I can't get to my word count, I want to write at least everyday for the next 30 days. It will be a good exercise in making time to write.

If any of you are searching for a writing project, you can check out this writing contest that I'll be working on: http://www.rooglewoodpress.com/fairy-tale-collections

Ooh! Looks cool! Oh, for the time and inspiration....

@Yorick: Yay! Our word count goals match! I think 12,000 is a very nice number. How's your writing coming so far? I got a tiny bit ahead on Saturday, which is good because I have a very busy week ahead of me and might miss a few days!


@Spree: Oh, neat! I hope you're having fun with that. (Coincidentally, my Camp NaNo project, which is a writing project I've been working on for a bit over a year, has Beauty and the Beast as one of two stories it's based on. And... judging by how it's going, it may be another year before it's done! )

@ Happy Islander - I guess Narnian minds think alike . I had a tough week so I'm only at 2,400, but I am hoping to catch up tomorrow. Yay for Saturday!

Having a tough time finding time amidst friends, band, chores, being sick, graduations, and a full load of school, so I'm only at 500 words

Saturday was a very peaceful day, and I was able to get to 4,400 words. I am hoping to do a better job this week with my goal of writing every day, even if only a little.

Yay, Yorick!

I'm writing by hand, and keep forgetting to update my word count. Most days I remember to count them (which is good, because 300-500 words aren't too much to count in a day, but if I let a few days pile up, that'd be a bit tedious!) but I keep forgetting to actually update my word count on the Camp NaNo site

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does it that way Islie! I always seem to move through what I am writing more smoothly if I write things out on paper first.

Yay, another hand-writer! Yeah, my mind develops ideas differently on paper than at a keyboard. (I sometimes type stories and things... but not nearly as often as I hand write them!)
