Still Motoring

Oops, I forgot to post my update yesterday! I was up to my eyeballs (as usual), but things should settle down today. :D

Day two and three of my 1k a day challenge were a success! I finished the chapter I was working on for the zombie smut book I’m co-writing with the awesome Del Dryden, and have started expanding a short story I’d written so I can send it off to my editor at Ellora’s Cave. My goal is to have that short done and edited by the end of next week so I can send it off. With luck it will be sooner.

My next project is still up in the air. I have two books I could work on. One is book four of my Long Shots series. I’m 2/3 of the way through the first draft, so it’s likely to win. I also have a revise and resubmit on a paranormal that I’ve been sitting on for a while. That might be project two. We’ll have to see what my muse says. :)

This weekend will be a bit of a challenge for me. I am going camping, so being able to write 1k a day might not work. I’ll take my notebook along with me (the paper version :D ) and see what I can do.

1k A Day Update

Published on August 2, 2011 in 1k per day. 0 Comments

Hello everyone! Well I’m happy to report I did well for day one of my personal challenge. I managed to get 1900 words written and ran for 6km. I also got to hang with my family, which is always important. :)

Day two will prove a bit harder to squeeze everything in, but I’m going to push to get things done. Tonight we are taking the minions to see Captain America, so I’ll have to try and get my writing in before that. I’ll do my weight workout when I get home.

I’ll keep you posted.

August Challenge

Published on August 1, 2011 in 1k per day. 0 Comments

I need a kick in my ass kicked. No, seriously. I’ve been pretty quiet for July (though my husband would argue that was a much needed rest), and am finding myself going a bit stir-crazy. So while I’ve promised the husband I would take the whole summer off, I think I’m going to set myself a small challenge instead.

Cause…you know. I’m nuts.

So my challenge is this. I’m going to attempt to write 1k a day for the month of August. This will help get me back into the crazy swing of things come September (I normally write a lot more than 1k a day) and yet, won’t kill me. I’m also going to throw in the added challenge of committing to exercising at least 20 mins a day. Yes, that does include taking my dogs for a walk, but every little bit, right? I’ll post my daily results on the old blog here and you guys can either join me in posting your own challenge results, or throw dirty socks at me if I don’t live up to mine.

If anyone is interested in participating, then comment in this post. If not, I hope you’ll help cheer me on. :)
