Give and Take

by JM

Less than five thousand words to go before you make it! And to think, the first five thousand words were so intimidating…

You can do it!

Today, if you’re ahead of schedule, try taking some time to encourage people who aren’t as far along as you are. If you’re behind, don’t be afraid to ask for some good comments to help you along!

Remember, to have accomplished the minimum of what you need to do each day, all you have to get to is 45009 words for the day. And then you’re done if you wish.

Now I’m off to work on mine.

Good speed everyone!

    JM, I reached my 50K count last night. It was a really good feeling. I’m not going to look at the book for a while. I’m off to revisit a novel I started in August.

    Sara - Alas, I’m not at the minimum word count.

    Auria - Congratulations.
