Jordan, I don’t know what you were thinking, either. Oh, wait. Deadlines. :)

Hi WendyPortia! Thanks for stopping by, and for the encouraging words. It’s true, isn’t it? Frittering, sadly, is my default, so I must make the effort to jump in and go at the writing with glee. Yes, I said glee! Attitude is critical, at least for me. Your goals sound perfect. :)

HelenKay, you’re so right. It’s sooo much easier to do this with a whole gang of like-minded folks. Each one inspires and helps keep me on track.

Tammy – you’re in for a treat. Don’t think of it as bare minimum. Think of it as that which is going to blow the lid off your productivity! Good luck to you, and let us know how you’re doing.

This is my first 70 days of sweat challenge. I’m shooting for getting the bare minimum – that’s 750 words, right? I’ve been in such a slump lately and will be happy to get anything out of my head and on the computer. I think this is just the kick in the butt I needed to get my writing goals back on track!

Good luck everybody!

Your post got me excited to write. I just love this Challenge. There’s something about the group dynamic, about us cheering each other on, that makes the accomplishments extra sweet (or should I say sweat?).

Good luck to all the participants!

What a brillant post, and so inspirational. :) I think you’re so spot on starting in on your goals early in the day. I find that if I get stuck in early, I’m more likely to succeed. But if I’m self indulgent and allow myself to start putzing around, I can end up frittering away an entire day! And then I feel terrible…

My goal is 1000 words per day, which I think works for me and will give me a good big chunk of my WIP done by the end of the challenge. Also I hope to edit an already written novella in that time too.

Good luck with your goals, Jo! I know you can achieve them!

Love

WendyPortia

I’m tired already just looking at yours, lol!!
But, I’ve set my goal of 1700 words a day… I don’t think I’ll add the excercise in there-too much. But you are an inspiration and I look forward to seeing you reach it…you can do it with a great attitude like you have.

Larissa, hugs on the computer issues and the heavy schedule. Remember when we dreamed of being published? How it was all going to be roses and lollipops? Yeah, me too.

Joely, whoo hoo on the first contracted novel! If that isn’t inspiration, I don’t know what is. You rock!

Caro, you’re totally ready. How will you know? When you finish your 1750. :) I know you can do it!

Sandie, 1200 a day is a fantastic goal. Which so much wonderful support, it’s going to be the hardest, best goal you ever accomplished!
