I'm just wrapping up a few things before going to bed (it's 11:30). I guess I got more done than I thought I would, all things considered, and I'm really glad I wrote last night in the wee smalls! Thanks for setting this up Milli, and expect an email a few days from now about a guest blog post titled Confessions of a 10K day addict, haha.

Turner Sun, 27 Sep 2009 01:34:57 +0000 http://fearofwriting.com/blog/?p=410#comment-574 Congrats on the 40 pages, Joe! :) And exactly, Patti :) I love doing this for the camaraderie of it all ;) I can be productive alone, but heck, where's the fun in that? :) :) Well I didn't get to do another 5,000 words like I wanted, but hubby is ready to watch a movie and I'm running on empty myself. I did manage to get another 3862 in though, which is my best wc of the day for a block of time, so I'm happy about that. In the end, I wrote 20, 133 words and while I didn't finish the book, I've finished all but the last few climatic scenes and the ending. Which should take most of Monday to finish (drats!) but I'll query anyway because it'll take much longer to hear back from agents than it will to put the final touches on the manuscript. Then it's sit back and wait to see if I get any bites :) Thanks to everyone for letting me share today with y'all, and special thanks to Millikins for setting up these days for us! (((HUGS)))) Jenny:) Congrats on the 40 pages, Joe! :)

It's all about loving what you do and getting to share it with others who have the same passion. I had a great day and even got some writing done (which I didn't plan.) It's movie time now. If anyone is still working on 10K - Break a Pencil. Hugs All! Patti Glad everyone had a great day. It’s all about loving what you do and getting to share it with others who have the same passion.

I gots 40 pages of new material, but that's all I can say for today. No complaints. And Bev sure can write the hell out of a page. I suppose my day is coming to a close.

Turner Sat, 26 Sep 2009 23:25:27 +0000 http://fearofwriting.com/blog/?p=410#comment-570 Thanks Millikins!! And congratulations to everyone else for their achievements today! :) It's so cool to see everyone feeling free to spend their writing day as they wish, working on those things they love or want to achieve. Very cool ;) I had unexpected company for an hour, so I'm a bit behind in my update, but I figured I'd take the full two hour writing time and I accomplished 3582 more words. They're really rough and I caught myself repeating already known information, as I'm getting a little tired, but I did catch it in time, so that's good. I've got a growing list of plot points I'll either need to strengthen or introduce earlier in the book as the climactic ending is nearing and certain planned scenes have taken on a new (and better) dimension. This brings my before-dinner total to 16251. Which means the 5K I want to do after dinner should push me past my last word count record ;) I'm gonna get this puppy done today, yay! :) Warmly, Jenny:) Thanks Millikins!!

This is for a series I'm doing based on the zodiac and Bev Walton-Porter's book, <i>Sun Signs for Writers</i>. Bev is a friend and also a 10K Day participant. I went to Bev's blog a while ago to get some info for my post. I was greeted with an unexpected treat: a tribute to her dad who died 30 years ago. This would be heartwarming in itself (and it's beautifully written), but it's also about how much Bev's dad contributed to her current life as a writer. Don't miss it!
