Embrace the quirkiness, embrace the adventure, embrace even the uncertainty. Art of any kind isn’t worth pursuing without passion. So never forget why you’re writing." This is going on my bulletin board! “…embrace the joy of writing. Embrace the quirkiness, embrace the adventure, embrace even the uncertainty. Art of any kind isn’t worth pursuing without passion.

I didn't make the 10k but my final word count is 6,156. I stopped at the climax of my outline. I think that will motivate me to finish the last scenes tomorrow. My brain is fried. What a day. Thanks Milli, and congratulations to everyone. We did it! I look forward to the next one. Have a wonderful night. JD I’m done. I didn’t make the 10k but my final word count is 6,156.

I didn't like hearing about you having a nervous breakdown. Hope it was just a writer's bad hair day and not something really awful. :) Hey, Wolfie . . . if you’re still out there let me know you’re OK.

(Oops! :) ) So, I wrote that and will add the 416 to my total for the day. Not quite 10K, but I'm really happy with my 9, 012 for the day. Thank you bunches Millikins for hosting these. I look forward to them all the time!! :) Everyone else, congrats on your accomplishments today. It's so very cool to see everyone giving themselves permission to be writers for a day :) Hugs to y'all!!

You are correct, I'm waaay east coast here in Maryland :) Lois- congrats on the near 4k! That's quite a feat for the busy day you described, not to mention the bonus of having some research under your belt, nicely accomplished :D I'm finishing up my editing now and about to dive into some writing. I'll most likely grind late into the night and post my results in the am, if not the wee morning hours. Good luck, and congrats to everyone who got writing done today, carry on! ~Jodi Milli- thanks for the welcome. You are correct, I’m waaay east coast here in Maryland :)

Otherwise, I've written 3,933 words today. That's as close as I'm getting tonight. Happy writing everyone! I hope you all reach your goals! <em>Lois</em> Well, I’m calling it a night.

Turner Sun, 25 Oct 2009 00:40:28 +0000 http://fearofwriting.com/blog/?p=467#comment-672 Hey everyone, sorry for disappearing. My son turned 17 on Thursday, but we celebrated tonight. (He's been gaming with friends, so it's not like I'm even wanted around :) ) So, after a very long break, I'm back. My word count so far is 7448 for the day, but I'm still two chapters from the end. This originally started out as around a 90K novel, now I'm near 102K--so some really strong editing is going to have to bring this back under control. *Sigh* I'm just gonna push through and see if I can finish tonight. If not, I got a book signing tomorrow, but I should be able to pound out the last of this. Then it's editing time! Warmly, Jenny:) Hey everyone, sorry for disappearing.

You must be somewhere in or near the EST. It's 7:40 here in Ohio and dinner's over; the dishwasher is humming (making productive noises -- I like that sound). I think *everyone* had a late start today, and I admire your zest in joining us after the sun has gone down. Best of luck with your writing goals :) ~ Milli Welcome, Jodilynn!

Now I'm trying to slow my brain down and get some zen going before I dig into Word. Like most, I won't be attempting a full blown 10k today (it's 7pm here!) but I do want to get some words cranked out. I'm setting myself a tentative goal of 4k with some editing before I begin so I can set a direction for my little writing sprint. Glad to see everyone on the boards, even if 10k isn't written in the stars for us... this time :) Happy writing to all, carry on- and I'll be checking in periodically. Good evening everyone :)
