Today's goal is 33K. Though I seriously doubt I will get there, I will try to make up some of the difference. I am also feeling a strong need to just sit and organize my outlines some more. I have one scene that I wrote that didn't come out write, so at some point I have to go back and rewrite it. And I am not including enough detail!
But on the positive side, I am writing more and faster than I ever have in a summer. Good for us!
Keep in touch. I know that it is tough to write when you are dealing with distractions, but hang in there.

Today I'm shooting personally for 3000+ I don't know if I could manage the 6,000 without a full day to myself and everything flowing smoothly. 3k is going to be hard enough as it is. It's true though, that this has led me to write far more than I ever have in a summer. I like how much motivation it gives me.

Darn it. Had a bad afternoon, with some really frustrating moments. I wanted 3,000, but I'll have to settle with the base 1,535 today. Tomorrow I hit it again and see if I can shake the word count apple from the hour tree.
Edward Cheever II's Grand Total: 31,188 Glen Robinson's Grand Total: 33,056
Just gotta keep chuggin' along...

Hey, I'd like to propose that after the 16th we take a sabbatical for the rest of the month. I need to do some school-related stuff, I want to work on a website, and i want to edit some of the stuff i have written.
Then on July 1, let's hit it again. 45K during the month of July.
How does that sound?

Today I managed 3,140, but I only managed about a third on Jaine. The rest was part of my Blog. Edward Cheever II's Grand Total: 34,328 Glen Robinson's Grand Total: 34,856 Dagnabbit, I'm nearly caught up. A sabbatical sounds fine with me. It'd be nice to have the start and end times set up neatly for each month too. I plan to keep writing until July though. I'm really glad we're doing this monthly. It keeps me motivated and on the ball far better than I could manage on my own. It's too easy to get distracted, and I feel much better when I feel like I accomplished something every day. ^_^

Goal for today was 37,500.
Knowing that I wouldn't be doing any writing tomorrow and likely no writing on Sunday, I cranked it out today--4,730 words!
That takes me to 39,596. I am ahead of the goal, but not for long, I fear. Five days left!

I only managed 1,834 today (Had to stop early due to a date night with Katie ^_^) But thankfully every word was written on Jaine, which is nice. I'm really going to have to kick it up a notch this weekend. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of blog to fall back on because I plan on it being primarily a posting of my John Scalzi/Whill Wheaton Fanfic. I'm hoping for some major Jaine progress. I'm nearing seriously uncharted waters here. Edward Cheever II's Grand Total: 36,162 Glen Robinson's Grand Total: 39,596 Woo!

I managed 3, 798 today! Woohoo! Much of it was a blog post, but over 1000 was on Jaine, so I think it was productive, all told. Edward Cheever II's Grand Total: 39,960 Glen Robinson's Grand Total: 39,596 + ? Today's goal was 40,500. Very close! I'm hoping I finish catching up tomorrow. Woo!

Two blogs worth 799 words this weekend. So that takes me to 40,395. Hey, we have less than 5K left to go! And three days to do it in!
BTW, when you have the time, I would appreciate some feedback on my short stories.
