Sorry I didn't make it back last night. Life doesn't come with a "Hold" button, and if it did, I'm sure it'd eventually hang up on us. I'm glad everyone had a great time. That's an important aspect of these 10K Days and part of the reason Milli hosts them. For those of you familiar with the Britcom, <em>Are You Being Served</em>, "You've all done very well." LOL! Happy Writing! Congratulations Everyone!

I finished with a little over 4k. Not bad for one day. I didn't move on to my short story. However, I'm nearly finished with my outline for NaNo. Thanks! JD What a day!

Maybe I'll do another 5k on Saturday. Awesome wordcounts, everyone!

I finally reached 5K! I had an important phone call and that lasted more than an hour and a half, but I had less than 450 words left to reach my goal, so I got to it and finished with 5,114! :D Dark chocolate, here I come! :) I worked on a Fox Redman short story. He has just met his future brother-in-law, the young Cheyenne warrior, É’etsénoonámas (Broken Wing). Congrats to everyone for participating! Even if none of us reach 10K this time around, we've still written something and we can all be proud of that! Have a great evening. <em>Lois</em> I reached my goal. I finally reached 5K!

Not bad for a work day. Would have been 5k or more with a bit more energy but brain is mushy! Am off from teaching tomorrow so maybe I'll follow this up with another couple thou words. Thanks for keeping this up, Milli. Such a good boost! Beth Final count: 4243 words. Not bad for a work day. Would have been 5k or more with a bit more energy but brain is mushy!

Don't know how much more I'll get done--I'll have to retrieve the youngin' from the ballgame, get gasoline for the husband's paper route and other such fun things. I guess it never stops, does it? But I've gotten much more done than I thought possible, so that's a huge plus. And I've had fun hanging out with you guys today. Congratulations to all who've participated today! Hope y'all have a great rest of the evening and see ya next time round! :) After counting up a rough drafted article, chat notes from the conference, and a story idea, I now have 1,779 words.

Just because we're home doesn't mean we're available. But it's hard to tell family that, and not feel guilty as all get out. The evening is opening back up for me to hopefully get some more writing in. I've been interrupted most of the day and finally had to stop and take a nap (hadn't slept since yesterday afternoon, so I guess I needed it). Now, supper's about done, the kid's at a ballgame, and the husband is watching TV and dinner. Look out keyboard, here I come! I know what you mean, Tracy!

I got off to a pretty early start, but ended up being in and out almost all day! Somehow, I've got a couple thousand words in (nobody is more surprised than me, haha). My night is looking pretty good, so I'm hoping to at least double it before bedtime. I must be doing something seriously wrong, because being an at-home mom isn't giving me the time I need to write or to laze around eating bonbons. Who needs a paying job when I can spend all my time running around for everybody else for free? Umm, I forgot to check in.
