ROW 80 UPDATE –APPROACHING THE FINISH LINE — MARCH 16
Are the rest of you feeling the burn? You know, the one we get as we take that big sprint forward toward the finish line? Check in HERE to see how everyone else is doing. Yesterday I finished the first draft! Even though I’ve been puttering along, not writing everyday and then writing for an [...]
ROW 80 UPDATE — PLUGGING AWAY — MARCH 13
Good morning. I must start off with saying how much I feel “behind” today, because of the time change that I didn’t know about until I was hopping around the blogosphere. So that grabbed my attention for a bit. But then I went to work on my WIP, playing catch-up. Our leader’s update post is [...]
ROW 80 UPDATE — A POSITIVE SPIN — MARCH 9
Today, in our leader’s update post, she asks us what we’ve done to look at the positives in our experience. That perspective is especially necessary when we haven’t written every day, as originally planned. As usual, in the past few days, I’ve “crammed” my writing into one one-hour session. But on a positive note, I [...]
ROW 80 UPDATE — PERSISTENCE –MARCH 6
Our fearless leader has reminded us of our persistence by still participating in the challenge. Check-In post HERE. That’s something, isn’t it? Earlier today, I was beating myself up again. I had posted my Sunday Salon event, which meant that I was distracting myself from the writing challenge. But then I set to work and [...]
ROW 80 UPDATE — SUCCESS! — 3-2
Good morning! Welcome to all the Row 80 participants. For today’s Check-In at the host site, click HERE. While I did not write for thirty minutes per day, I did write two times for forty-five minutes each session. My total word count so far is 87,664, in 214 pages. The mystery is coming together, [...]
ROW 80 UPDATE — 2-23
Is it that time again? The moment of truth when we look at our progress and try to decide if we should revise our goals….Check in HERE. While I’m not working my 30 minutes per day, I have managed to add to my pages and word count. I have 85,083 words in 207 [...]
ROW 80 CHECK-IN POST — TORTOISE & HARE — 2-20
Good morning, all of you who are in this race…and those who are cheering us on! Today’s check-in post from our leader reminds us that the race belongs to the tortoise, not the hare. So here we are chugging along, putting down a few words and pages, but moving ahead. Slowly but surely. I love [...]
ROW 80 CHECK-IN – 2-16
Oh, no, is it Wednesday already??? Well, yes, and it’s that time again…time to assess our progress and possibly reevaluate our goals. Check-In HERE. I didn’t put in a lot of time in the past few days. Let’s just get that out of the way. I did an hour yesterday. But here is what I’m [...]
2-9 CHECK-IN — ROW 80
Today, our leader over at the ROW 80 Check-In has posed a question about habits. Are we developing some good habits? Sometimes I think the only habits I’ve developed lately are the “skipping days” habit, as if I can somehow make up for those skipped days by working twice as long later… Actually, that would [...]
ROW 80 CHECK-IN — FEB. 6
Good morning, ROW 80 PARTICIPANTS. It’s check-in time again. I’m grateful for the support that’s surrounding us in this challenge. Many of you have stopped by to cheer me on, especially on those weeks (like this past one, and the one before) when I’ve done less-than I should have done. This week was hit [...]
