   Holly: About setting goals… We all set goals, then we all find reasons why we don’t/can’t honor them. My approach is a little different. I don’t quit until I’m happy with what I have done, whether it is a complete scene, a complete chapter, or just a complete sentence. Sometimes walking the dog on the beach for an hour brings the best out – but being happy with a single (hopefully, perfect) sentence means being happy. And being happy means being able to write what I like.

   I am so looking forward to joining in on this, but I have to finish cutting 48,000 words out of my novel first. Up to almost 27,000 words at this point. Over halfway there in 2 weeks. I’ll be joining this soon! 🙂

   Hi,
   I just found this, and I love it! My writing has been very sporadic this summer. Some days I’m writing 2,500 words, and some days I’m writing 200. I homeschool my kids, teach Sunday School, and have so much going on that I think having a 250 word goal and taking it easy sounds great!
   Thanks for doing this!
   I re-wrote the ending of my short story, Obsession, but I’m not sure of the word count.
   On most days, I hope to make continual progress on my novel, The Crystal Sword.

   Well I’m back–finally. Trying to get going with a new WIP, another novella in the same ‘verse as the one I finished at the end of January. I got 263 words for the night. Not a lot but after a month and a half of no writing (I’ve been plotting and revising the other WIP, etc., but not WRITING), I’m having to light a fire under my butt to get going again.

   Daily goal average 500-1200 words a writing night… we will see about tonight. Been working on a piece of fiction since November, i am a mother of 3 from 6 yrs to 17 months. After weeks of red eyes and late nights, my husband and i decided that we will try to be in bed before midnight. Of coarse this is cutting into my witting time…. “arg”, but a reseted happy mommy and wife is better than this tired and grump monster for the last couple months… LOL

   I just saw this project! And it’s awesome!

   I’ve got 3 books on the run that I’m working on, and I’m trying to get somewhere between 750 – 1000 words a day… I think that’s about intermediate level.

   Either way, I wrote about 1200 words today… I don’t have any exact count, but I’ll start keeping track. This sounds like a great way to keep motivated.

   Not much. I’m trying to figure out how to end my scene now that the character who was going to die is a “good guy”–and if he even is, or if he should still die. Transferred writing files to new compy, and did a warm-up scene. Total relevant words–about 100.

    On the plus side, I finished the redraft of D&DI this weekend.
    However, I also hit a bit of a wall. I think the problem stems from how OFL and RFW came into existence…basically because I felt I needed to be writing another project to make full use of my time, so the logic of using a young protagonist and a plot I have some familiarity with (music) gave rise to OFL, and a desire to try another couple of genres gave rise to RFW. But, I’ve got to a point with each of them where I’m not sure I care what happens anymore! But with OFL half-way through revision and RFW less than 10k from the end of first draft, it seems a shame to abandon them…
