ROW80 Check In – Jan. 9

January 9, 2011 by Lauralynn Elliott

I’m still doing fine. My goal is 500 words per day, which for me isn’t necessarily that I have to write that many a day, but that I average that. I took a day off on Friday because I was 996 words ahead of goal, and I got in late that night. Then on Saturday I wrote 1187 words, so I’m back to 1183 words ahead of goal. I haven’t done my writing for today, but I see no problems with that. I think I know what’s going to happen next.

Oh how I wish I didn’t work a full time job!

I know what you mean about the job. I’ve been on maternity leave, but go back in a week. That’ll be interesting. Great job on your word counts!

  Thanks, Jessica.
  
  I know you hate to go back. Less writing time. 😦 But you can figure it out…along with all the other stuff you have to do now! :0)

The fact that you were able to not only hit but exceed your word count while working full-time is great.

Good luck in Week 2!

  Thanks, Viansa. Working full time definitely makes this a challenge.

Oh how I totally empathize with that no-working thing! 😉

Great job on meeting your goals! Those are some nice numbers. 🙂

  Of course I’m not working today! We are all snowed in. And apparently my work computer is off, because I can’t access it. What can I do now? Write? Hmmmm. LOL

Enjoy your day off with the snow and make hay while the snow shines. Let those brain cells work for you. Good luck.
Peace

I’m in awe of anyone who can maintain that kind of regular word count as well as a job. You’ve had a great week, hope it keeps up for you. 🙂

  Thanks, Claire. It really is hard sometimes, but worth it. I’m so glad Kait has done ROW80 for us so we can sort of push ourselves…gently.
