So May is also a month of insanity around here. So why did I jump on the RD May Wri Mo bandwagon? Cause I’m a sucker for wallowing in pain and suffering with as many other people as possible? Maybe. More likely, it’s the fact that I work better knowing others are working at the same time.
Dayna Hart put everyone who signed up on teams this year. Wow, extra motivation and incentives. Dayna rules. Each team had 250,000 words to start with — some have grown with additional members. My personal goal was to add another 30k to what I had so far for Beneath His Touch. I decided I wasn’t going to push my luck and even doing 1k words a day has been a stretch with lack of practice.
However, I’ve already added 6,666 new words to the project! Yay, me! I’m slightly ahead of my goal, but I suspect as end of the school year events start ramping up, I’ll need any cushion I can get!
I still need to go back and work on the first 3 chapters, but knowing I’m working on chapter 8 is a great feeling too. I made the mistake the other day of reading through the material I already had for 4-7 and screeched to a halt. NO EDITING! ONLY NEW WORDS. OR only edits AFTER I make my word count and then some for the day.
So, if you suspect I’ve disappeared, hope I’m in a groove and staying on track!
