If my current WiP was actually finished at the 80,000 words I had planned for, I would have finished it this morning. But, I still have about 5 scenes left to write. So, it looks like it will be done by tomorrow or Friday. So, I will still make my end of the month deadline at least.
- Write everyday. I’m aiming for around 8000-9000 words before next Wednesday. Then, I’ll just have to split the rest between the last 2 days of the month. And of course, if I don’t meet that, nothing tragic is going to happen.
I have definitely met this goal. Thursday morning I slept in until almost 6. That’s almost unheard of for me. But, that was a day my kids actually slept in(also just about unheard of), so I was still able to get a good chunk of writing in. Then, I slept in again Monday morning, but still got a lot of writing done. My numbers for the last week: Thursday: 1603, Friday: 2045, Saturday: 873, Sunday: 1069, Monday: 2026, Tuesday: 2731, Wednesday: 1310. That makes a total of 11,657 for the week. And I;m getting so close to the end. Excited to finish writing it, but not looking forward to saying good-bye to these characters. But, that’s okay, because they’ll be back for more stories. 
- Finish An Appointment with Murder
I finished this last week. Haven’t started another one yet though. I actually made it through my to-be-read list, so now I need some new books.
Only about 3 weeks left in this round, and I think I’m on track to meet just about all of my goals. How is everyone else doing?

Wow – Fallon you’ve really kicked goal butt! Good for you. I’ve moved house and contended all sorts of other time-thieves, so mostly dribbled around my goals. Still, marvelous to witness such achievement
Even if it isn’t mine X
Impressive! It’s a great feeling when you can achieve your goals. Enjoy! Here’s MY ROW 80 CHECK-IN POST
WOW, amazing word counts. Brilliant. Well done!

Congratulations! I’ve nominated you for the Sunshine Award! http://mrsbongle.com/2012/08/30/the-sunshine-award/
I wish I had your drive over the past few days. I’m falling behind on my writing goals for the week, and will have to scramble over the next week or two to get back on schedule. Congratulations for the excellent progress!
