Life came along to hijack this challenge for me but I’m surprisingly okay about that. It happens, we write through it as we can, we move past it and all the while we write. – Me, Day 54 at the end of the 7,500 in 5 marathon. I managed a little over 3,500 words this …
I have had a completely inspired week! I continued to work on my Water & The Bad Boy short story I started in April and after not knowing how it was going to end I found a great ending that didn’t compromise the characters. So now I’ve completed my first thing for The End Is …
For most of this week I set discipline aside, tried to write surrounded by distractions and was plagued by a migraine. On Friday I found a second wind as I read more of Finding Your Own North Star and on Saturday I did something I had never done before. I worked on the first draft …
This week of 100 words for 100 days has been full of achievements. The 5000 words in 5 days marathon ended with all four participants crossing the finish line. It was great to reach 5000 words in 5 days myself but it just as fun cheering Merrilee, Jill and Matt on and to see them …
We’re a quarter of the way into the 100 words for 100 days challenge and it’s starting to feel a little like entering the second week of NaNoWriMo. It’s been all shiny and new and fantastic and now the reality of keeping on writing steadily like this for another 71 days is hitting home. This …

Here’s how the numbers stack up half way through July. Days Writing: 22 Total Words To Date: 17,984 Average Words …
For the past two weeks I’ve been participating in Merrilee’s 100 words for 100 days challenge. It’s been a great way to keep writing through the post-challenge lull. Merrilee posted a progress update today so I thought I’d follow her lead with one of my own. Start Date: 26 June Days Writing: 15 Total Words …
Day 25: 1,910 words. They were hard won today but totally worth it. T-5 days! Day 26: 1,333 words today. Writing is a bit stuttered. I need to get a better idea of what happens next. Day 27: 1,679 words today. Total for the month 20,982. I’m closing in on the HalfNoC finish line! Day …
