Back on the horse - a tricky week juggling vet visits and dog stuff, but now we are back on track. Got to get to France this week and then writing proper can recommence. The story is growing in my head, though.

back on the horse after a couple of days off! New project - and a gentle daily word goal.

Rachael wrote 2,185 words in 120 min on the march project

and... finished! THE END. I'll tidy it up tomorrow, then send it off to my editor. Phew.

Rachael wrote 2,427 words in 120 min on the march project

almost there! had a day of unplanned car maintenance so ended up doing an afternoon write, but the end is really truly in sight. Hooray.

Rachael wrote 1,235 words in 45 min on the march project

one day I'll write a book that doesn't overshoot my planned word count. Today is not that day. (80k of my planned 60k. Maybe I should plan 40k next time...)

β€œA good problem maybe :) Great job!” – RockyBader
β€œAnd I'm only at around 28K when I want 60K at least! You have a good problem to havee as Rocky Bader says!” – Rosemary O.
Rachael wrote 1,628 words in 60 min on the march project

back on track! Almost there. I feel like someone keeps moving the end (but then I remember it's me...)

β€œoops, double posted. Maybe I'll have to add another 1628 words later today!” – Rachael

two short days because we have a sick dog and lots of stuff going on here, but dogs take priority, so... (although words = vet bill payment method, so I will be back on the horse tomorrow)

Rachael wrote 1,237 words in 60 min on the march project

managed to fit in another session after some very boring but necessary ad-admin

β€œAwesome!” – RockyBader
Rachael wrote 850 words in 30 min on the march project

busy day but a quick morning write - words first! - and then I will hopefully return to it later...

β€œWell done :O)” – Anne Lown
Rachael wrote 827 words in 30 min on the march project

only a quick one today, but I'm in the very last stages - maybe another 2/3k to go and this will be done!

β€œGreat job! That's a lot of words in 30 minutes” – WriteObsession

I only sat down to write 500, so I'll definitely take that as a win!

β€œThat's a big win. Well done.” – Craig
β€œOh yeah, that's a win! Great job!” – MelissaCook

another tick-my-minimum-word-count day. (But I remind myself that 500 words a day would still = 182,500 words a year.)

Rachael wrote 706 words in 45 min on the march project

release day for a book here, so wanted to at least get my bare minimum of 500 done - and I've done that, so that will do for today.

β€œBest of luck.” – Adele Sims
β€œYou did more then you planned. Take your win!” – wlarson
Rachael wrote 241 words in 10 min on The May Project

I won't be starting this until I finish off the last one, but the first page came to me in a flash so I thought I'd get it down on paper...

β€œ"May you get a good start on a novel"? :)” – wlarson
Created a project: The May Project

I might come back for another session tonight - but this is a decent chunk for today!

β€œCongrats!” – Twellsbrown
β€œThat's an amazing chunk!” – RockyBader

I have a book out on Friday and I really wanted to get this tied up by then (also because I have A Plan (tm) for May, but it's like the magic porridge pot and it keeps on going. I think realistically it'll probably be Sunday when I'm done. I wish I still had the brain to do 10k days but I am increasingly ancient...

β€œThose 10k days might not be possible anymore, but thats a speedy word count and a good chunk of progress. You're another step closer!” – TaliaWrites
β€œThat was what just happened with me...Mine kept on going. You will get there and it will be worth the extra effort!” – wlarson
Rachael wrote 500 words in 15 min on the march project

super quick 500 to stick to my daily minimum rule on a busy day

β€œThat's a good rule:)” – Craig
β€œGreat rule! I'm trying to make that my rule as well! Ideally 500 words in the morning and 500 at night, but even 500 in a day adds up quickly!” – RockyBader

launch week for a book so will be v strict on words first this week or admin will take over!
