Doing a short sprint in the morning and short sprint in the evening was much less stressful than trying to get one large sprint at night while tired. New goal is to do a 15-minute sprint twice per day.

β€œWell done :O)” – Anne Lown

Twas the night before the baby's 1st birthday, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, except for the baby who won't go the F to sleep!! Oh well, I got a few words in.

It has been hard to get words at night because I am so exhausted by the time I sit at my computer, and a 1,000-word count goal seems so daunting when tired. Working on getting smaller bits throughout the day instead. Started the morning with a quick sprint to finish out a crucial action scene.

β€œWhatever works to get those good words. Keep on it:)” – Lorene Ward
