After my super “heavy” post last time, I need to keep this light. LOL
I’ve been with ROW80 since the very beginning. I’ve had good rounds and bad rounds. But I’ve been here EVERY round. The ROW80 community is awesome!
How did I do? Not so well. Not terrible, but not up to expectations. For this round, I wrote 19,534 words. I could have done much better than that. It averages out to about 227 words per day. I actually only wrote 14 days this round. So if I only use THOSE days, then my daily average is 1395 per day. See how you can look at something in different ways?
I will say, a lot of the reasons I had for not writing were legitimate. I’ve been doing some proofing, which actually makes me more money that my writing does. And then Susan, Kait, and I started The Forge: Affordable Book Finishing. So I have been a little busy. Writing is my passion, but I need to do what is going to put food on the table, right? So I plan to do both. 🙂
Here’s to a great Round Two! There’s something about spring that makes me more energetic.

You’re right. The ROW80 community is awesome. Everyone is so supportive, and it’s great to see how other writers establish and work toward their goals.
The editing/proofreading service sounds cool. Is it primarily proofreading, or do you do more in-depth developmental editing as well?
I look forward to hearing more about your work and your goals next round, Lauralynn.
Susan is the content editor. She is really good at it, and she can really polish a story up. I do the proofreading. And Kait formats ebooks. Some people might just need one of the services, and some might need all three. We are all independent of each other.
Thanks for dropping by! I’m hoping Round Two will be great for all of us.
Sounds like a cool service. Thanks for sharing more details! 🙂
Wait, it’s spring? I think someone forgot to tell Mother Nature. Maybe she’ll remember tomorrow and turn up the heat.
We’re finally getting some spring weather. We had some, then when I was at the hospital with hubby on Tuesday, it SNOWED, then it turned warmer again. We are in the sixties today.
That’s good word count considering you only wrote 14 of those days. 🙂
I hope the proofreading works out for you! It sounds like an exciting new venture.
Thanks, Ruth. I hope I can buckle down more next round. My job should slow down a bit. And maybe all this stuff with my husband will get better.
I hope the proof reading works out, too! Time will tell.
I like the different look at things:) – best of luck with the new venture and look forward to seeing you next round – I think I managed each round since beginning as well
Thanks, Alberta. I guess we’re part of the original group. 🙂
