Marigold and Dan...you two are awesome!

I need to get back to work. Got caught up with promotions, but I hope to join you with my word count by this evening.

EllieL · « **Reply #163 on:** November 18, 2018, 08:47:00 AM »

I finished my current wip last night, so today I've started editing. Does -48 words count for anything?

Lorri Moulton [Lavender Lass Books] · « **Reply #167 on:** November 19, 2018, 02:30:09 AM »

Nice job, everyone!

I wrote 510 words yesterday. Hope I can do as well today!

Marigold · « **Reply #168 on:** November 19, 2018, 02:56:12 AM »

Managed to carve out the entire morning for writing. Best day I've had in six months: 1129 words.

Thank you @Lori Moulton for starting this thread. Setting a reasonable goal (at least 50+ words a day) got me started again after a two-month hiatus. Most grateful to you.

Only 90 words today. Also, I made the discovery that at some point I started referring to the main character by his nickname rather than his name. Oy.

Lorri Moulton [Lavender Lass Books] · « **Reply #174 on:** November 24, 2018, 06:50:32 AM »

Stuck in editing. This is what happens when you start a story one Christmas and try to finish it the next! LOL

Eclectic Dan · « **Reply #175 on:** November 24, 2018, 08:43:11 AM »

I wrote 180 words yesterday and 210 words today.

My space opera, on the other hand, is largely stalled. Writing a few words here and there each day but not making a lot of progress on it, whereas on this fantasy story (the one I'm counting for this thread) I've written 5,845 words for the month so far.

Though with only eight days left in the month, I'm not sure I'll best October's 10,002 words written. I'd have to write an average of 520 words a day to match.

Lorri Moulton [Lavender Lass Books] · « **Reply #176 on:** November 24, 2018, 09:56:08 AM »

Dan, that's wonderful! Your word counts are great and your other book will be there, when you're ready.

Thanks. I still work on the space opera every day, but I'm lucky to get more than a few words each day.

Lorri Moulton [Lavender Lass Books] · « **Reply #179 on:** November 25, 2018, 12:29:50 PM »

I did advertising and changed my cover. Hoping to get my 50 words in later tonight.

Another 260 words. Time to eat leftovers!

Eclectic Dan · « **Reply #184 on:** November 27, 2018, 08:55:43 AM »

I wrote 130 words yesterday and 485 words today. Only 2,638 words to go to match last month's total which is an average of 660 words per day. Oy.

Marigold · « **Reply #185 on:** November 27, 2018, 07:25:47 PM »

463 words yesterday.

Lorri Moulton [Lavender Lass Books] · « **Reply #186 on:** November 28, 2018, 05:43:44 AM »

I wrote just over 1k words last night! Today might not be quite so good, but hope to sneak in a little writing time after work.

Eclectic Dan · « **Reply #187 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:20:14 AM »

Wrote 685 words today. Three days to write at least 1,953 more.

Also, I finally broke the 50k mark on my space opera. Well, not quite. I'm not sure how much of the word count is notes. Regardless, the word count is over 50k, so I'll take it even if it is with an asterisk. LOL.

Marigold · « **Reply #188 on:** November 28, 2018, 10:22:33 AM »

836 words today.

Lorri Moulton [Lavender Lass Books] · « **Reply #189 on:** November 28, 2018, 03:20:40 PM »

Everyone is doing so well! Congrats.

I got another 1k tonight, so I hope I'll get this finished on time.

Only 130 words written today, making for near impossible odds of November beating October in terms of word count.

You've had two great months!

I wrote 1,500 words today, but need to get some other stuff done tonight. Hope to write more tomorrow!

I wrote 1,000 words before bed last night (which counts as today since it was after midnight) and another 250 a short time ago, putting me at 1,250 for the day.

I wrote 1,000 words today in the wee hours of the morning. Thought perhaps I'd do more this afternoon but that didn't happen.

Anyway, that put me at 10,430 words for November which just beats out October's 10,002 words.

Marigold · « **Reply #197 on:** December 02, 2018, 12:47:35 PM »

Marigold · « **Reply #198 on:** December 03, 2018, 09:14:31 AM »

Eclectic Dan · « **Reply #199 on:** December 04, 2018, 08:08:48 AM »

Three days of updates here.

Saturday, December 1st: 615 words
Sunday, December 2nd: 485 words
Monday, December 3rd: 840 words

October Average: 322.6 words per day
November Average: 347.7 words per day
December Average so far: 646.7 words per day

I very much doubt I'll be able to maintain that pace.

Again, I'm only keeping track of one WIP here.

And I really need to finish the stories for my newsletter which will come out later this month. I thought I had one or two finished already, but I checked the other day and four out of four stories aren't done. Very bad.
