Unfortunately I reached my 15 but the story isn't finished and yesterday I wrote 4060 on the current MS so now I'm concerned about my targets. What's better? Set the target for the finished work or write it and then expand or cut based on publisher interest? My two appointments March 1st vary in their word count requirements. :-{} GOAL FOR THIS WEEK:I want to write a minimum 12,000 which will put me 12000 from MS completion at the end of this week. Challenges this week. Work, husband's needs with his business, my up and down productivity, long distance errands. By end of February I have to be finished with rough draft, have submittable first three chapters, get my web site up and learn my pitch for Mar1. Now I'm panicking.

So this week I am back on track and pushing to make 50 pgs editted to make up some time.

Sigh. I dabbled at a whole bunch of WIP's and made real progress in none. But looking at how well you are all doing is so inspiring. I really need to get my enlargening behind into gear, LOL! CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL BOOT CAMPERS WHO ARE DOING GREAT!!! :) I have to confess I didn’t reach my goal at all. Sigh. I dabbled at a whole bunch of WIP’s and made real progress in none.

There once was a girl who tried But her brain was seriously fried Hormones were raging Kids needed engaging Alas, her writing goals were denied Does writing limericks count?

There once was a girl who tried
But her brain was seriously fried
Hormones were raging
Kids needed engaging
Alas, her writing goals were denied

Keep up the great work. Thanks to Christine's challenge I've worked much harder this week. I did 13,000 words and hope to finish my project this week, all going well. Today has been a holiday here in NZ so the wordcount is down a bit, but I hope to pick up the pace again tomorrow. Wow, everyone is doing well! Keep up the great work.
