That's more like it. Not quite a single session as I define it, but I only stopped the timer to make coffee and stretch my legs.

Nowhere enough sleep last night. Happy to have these words, even if they need some serious work.

Finally transitioning from a natural lull back in to the action of this action/adventure. Amazing what a focused environment can do for the word count.

Session 1: 1007 words (33m)
Session 2: 1001 words (37m)

β€œGreat word count!” – rockybader

Bank holiday is over. Should be on track for a focused day tomorrow.

Words are coming along nicely. By the time the long weekend is over, I should be ready to dive in head first.

Still working out the kinks, but the words were a little easier today.

β€œGlad to hear the words are getting easier. Hopefully it keeps going like that for the whole month.” – WriteObsession

Picking up a project a third of the way in. Slow going as I relearn the rhythm. But an unbroken hour is a win, no matter the speed.

A long day out with a sick child. Happy with the 100.

Lowering my word count goal this month while I put together a 90 day action plan to get the half dozen books sitting on my hard drive published.

β€œThere you go - get them out there and get feedback from strangers who pay you for the pleasure to read your books.” – Craig

Not the bang I wanted to end November with, but life with a small child is what it is. Wouldn't change it for anything.

4k short of my monthly goal (I went back and wrote 6 more words for an even 56k). No problem. I'm fine with that. I'm close enough that it doesn't matter, and the main thing is no zero days. And it's been 74 days since my last one.

As long as I keep going, the only way to move is forward.

500 words - 14m
663 words - Because I round down my word counts, this is the total of uncounted words after 30 days of writing.

Congratulations to everybody who took part in the challenge, even if you didn't meet your goal.

I did do an update yesterday, but it didn't post. Not the first time it's happened, but I failed to check. This is today's and yesterday's words.

Another day that looks like this. Not worried. Tomorrow should be back on track.

I like how life has waited until the final stretch of the challenge to try and get in the way. Not as many words as I'd like, but not behind enough to worry.

β€œBrilliant... nearly there!” – ChapelWitch

I wouldn't be able to explain today if I tried. Nothing negative, but it's been weird and intense. No room for anything else. This puts me behind for the first time this month, but I'm confident I'll hit the month's word goal.

β€œConfidence will get you there!” – ChapelWitch
