Do you speed up or slow down when you are getting near your goal? Does the pressure of a challenge help or over stress you? Make sure you leave a comment to say hello. Don't forget to let me know where you are visiting from so I can follow you back and see what you're up to.
ROW80 July Goals Rundown
1. Write at least 800 words per day on my Camp NaNo novel The Most Magical Place.
I should have edited this goal because I fell behind and needed a minimum of 1,248 words to make it across that finish line. I am doing it! Not just the 800 I originally intended, but I am almost there. This is me not breaking into a happy dance yet because I have too much to do. So moving right along.
2. Post for every ROW80 check-in.
Yes, so far so good. I didn't even realize it was Wednesday until my husband asked me if I was planning to skip my post because I got a late start on writing tonight. I have been writing until late and crashing, but wanted to take a minute to say I am getting close and make sure someone has the champagne, cake and sparklers ready.

3. Spend 1 Pom per day visiting ROW80 friends.
Oh crap guys. I totally flaked. I wanna know how you all are doing and I will get to see you before next check-in.
4. Tweet about my post on check-in days.
I know this is not exactly how Twitter works and I am still reading and favoriting people's tweets, but finding and checking out possible links to retweet just had to go. I guess if I am telling you again I must be feeling guilty, but can't worry about that now. But onward, upward, till the goal ye win.

PS: I am fairly sure Blogger is possessed and is trying to make sure I don't get to writing so pictures may or may not be screwed up and there is nothing I can do.

Sometimes, at around the 2/3 point, I slow down because I'm trying to figure out what else must be included before the climax. But once I'm close to the end, I usually speed up because it's all finally clear.
ReplyDeleteI am not anywhere near the 2/3 point of the overall story so I guess I have something to look forward to. LOL
Deletesounds like someone is jet lagged there:) i had to duck out because of visitors and then chest infection so no goal there but you are doing well - all the best:)
ReplyDeleteSad that you had to drop out, but you have to take care of your health. Hope you are feeling better soon.
DeleteYeah! I am so happy for you that your goal is in sight! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for cheering me along.
DeleteDepends on the story, my first NaNo I was all about the story and then just hot 50000 and was like"Done. Finished!" Last year I pushed forward and went passed the mark and while in revisions I am sure it'll be at least 60000 words.
ReplyDeleteYou can totally make it! I assumed before July 31, correct? Totally can make it!!! :-)
Yeah, I can see being really done after reaching the 50,000 mark in NaNo, but good for you to keep pushing with the other book.
DeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteTime does fly when you're busy lol Hope the rest of the week goes well for you
Thanks for stopping by. You aren't kidding. Sometimes it seems the more I need to get done the faster time slips through my fingers. As Riff said, "Time is fleeting."
DeleteI had to bow out of Camp NaNo this month. So I say an especially resounding KUDOS! I haven't had champagne in ages. Cake on the other hand . . . All the best as you keep motoring along. And again, congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Mmmm cake. I haven't had anything remotely bread like in 4 months. Oh how I do miss the cake.
DeleteHoly cow, you're doing great! Save those ROW80 visits for when you hit your goal. So close, I'll bet you can taste it. :D
ReplyDeleteI can taste it and I thought it would taste like champagne and cake, but I was wrong. It tastes like TEQUILA!
