Thanks, Acadian! My local group is a riot. We’re sorted into two ‘cabins’ for this event, and so far my bunkmates sound like a rowdy bunch.
Sounds like you got in under the wire, Callidus! I didn’t get assigned to a cabin until a few minutes ago, so it was white-knuckle time. I still have to decide which project to do, both are bits of ongoing stories. I want to work on both, but I’m debating staying up until midnight to work on the other, so I guess I’ve made my choice.

I went to an online write-in with my local group last night and got back on track with my word count. I really got behind while I was away and then recovering from being away. Yikes! But a couple more massive days could get me over the line. Going for it!

It's November!
This morning I wrote a Darnand and Lildereth scene. They were stressed. I just wanted to give them a hug. Well, with Darnand it would be more of a fingertip pat from an outstretched arm, but the sentiment is the same.

Yesterday I decided to be stupidly ambitious and set myself a goal of 100K words instead of 50K. But a stiff back has meant I've not been able to get any writing done today. Feeling better than it did this morning though, so I'll be writing tomorrow!

Yay, good luck with your project! I'm glad your back is feeling better.
I'm using Google Docs for the first time for just my own writing. I use it when I have to collaborate, but I can't believe I haven't tried it alone before. I can use whatever device is at hand and then later paste into Scrivener. This way I can't get distracted by going back and checking things that are in my vast archives. Write now, check later. So far, so good!

Thanks, Acadian! There was a lot of busy typing this evening, I hope your ears didn’t get tired! It’s an Abiene story that fits into the long pause in Jerric's. She finally goes on a road trip with Dar-Ma, and…

Couldn’t help but notice that in your screenie of the month Jerric is riding up to the Honeymoon Cottage. You know you are always welcome to Argis and Alise’s home, but please don’t forget to knock! Or Jerric just might see things involving whips and chains and dog collars … ::0:

Yep, the second week only just started, and you're in good company! Two of my friends trashed their first idea mid-week and started over.
My local group has a couple of super-fast writers who make me feel like my fingers must be taped together when I hear them typing, but the rest of us just go one sentence at a time. They add up.

Hmmmm, so I don't have much experience writing, but I've been planning on something for a while and decided that this month would be a good time to get started. If all goes well I'll at least finish one part of it.
