Hello! I’m writing this not too long after I finished writing for this calendar day (i.e. October 25th). I could’ve written a little longer, but my mind was already starting to feel like mashed potatoes. So… I took that as a sign. I did not write as...

Day 8 of my Q4 Challenge was Monday, October 24th. And it also happened to be Mom’s birthday. I had an excellent day writing. It was my single highest daily word count since I’ve started the challenge. I’ve had days with higher word counts, but not...

Day 8 of my Q4 Challenge was a beautiful day. One in which I did absolutely no writing. None. Zip. Zilch. Nada. I spent most of the day dozing and resting from a bout of insomnia that hit Saturday night. Daily Word Count: 0Weekly Word Count: 0Remaining Words to...

Today was a pretty good day, all told. Just not for writing. As with my 633-word day this week (which I think was Monday?), I had a very productive and good day over all, but didn’t get much writing accomplished. I got some writing in, but nothing...

Good evening, and welcome to my update on Day 4 of my Q4 Writing Challenge. I’d love to say that I absolutely crushed my goal today, but if I did that… I’d be lying. I didn’t do as poorly today as I did Monday the 17th, but I only hit about 63%...

It’s the end of Day 3 of my Q4 Writing Challenge, and I did a lot better than yesterday. Much, much better than yesterday. I still had some errands that had to happen, but despite them, I made solid progress. I’m really liking this challenge, so I...

Good day to you. I’m not sure if you can see the day I’m posting this, but if you can’t, I’ll be honest about it. I’m typing this at 12:17pm on Tuesday the 18th. Yes. The 18th. Life jumped up and demanded my attention yesterday in such a...
