Halfway through the write-a-thon and I’ve stuck to my goals. 750 words every day on the novel and I’ve submitted one short story each week. I’ve written 19,791 words on that novel, which is about 4,000 words ahead of where I wanted to be. Not bad. Dinah’s still getting her daily walk, but the house is a mess and I feel like I’ve done nothing but write for the last three weeks. Oh well, there’ll be time for a life later.

Write-a-thon Update
Sunday, July 11th, 2010Write-a-thon Update
Sunday, July 4th, 2010Start of week three. So far I’ve written 14,151 words on that novel without a name. I’m ahead of where I wanted to be by almost 3,000 words. I’ve sent off two short stories to new markets and I’ve got a fresh one lined up for this week.
With all this writing, i haven’t cleaned house in a while and I’ve been eating fast, easy dinners with no leftovers. That means I’ve been buying my lunch at work, it’s not great for my pocketbook.
Still, I’m keeping my side of the bargain on this whole write-a-thon thing, so why not pledge a little bit of money? Just go to the Clarion West website to donate.
