Word Count Challange!

Alright folks... after reading and responding to a few people in this thread, I've come to notice that there is a large group of us who are behind in our word counts.

Don't worry, I'm SO included in this. Been a rough week.

So... here's my fun challange for the day.

Today is day 7. According to the stats, if you do 1,667 words a day, you should be around 11,669 today.

What I challange everyone today is this. If you are under that goal, reply with your Word Count. Then I want you all to find that time today to write. Forget about the 50K challange for today.

Today, your challange is to get to 11,700.

At the end of your day, come back to this post and reply to your own with your updated word count. See how far you could push yourself today. I'm going to be right along beside you.

And for those who are ahead of the game, feel free to come in and send people encouraging replies to keep them going.

And don't forget the vaulable resources we have here:

Daily Prep Cards

Plot Help Threads

Other Resources like Name Generators and genre topics


do not mistake this for the WC of the day post. Mo will be putting that up later. This is just for the people wanting to take up the challange.

I think I may be the worst, lol. But I have about 4 hours of spare time, so I may be able to make a dint.

Nope, I'm about 100 words beneath you. :P But that's ok. We'll be at 50K by the end of the month, and that's what matters.

i'm ready to sprint to the end of November if you are.

I just hope my back holds out in the mean time.

Always. ;)

Tell me about it! The stretching exercises (http://www.lib.msu.edu/ergomsu/stretch.htm) are helpful though.

The final word count reached today

Well, I didnt hit the 11,700, but its a good spurt for me. It's also where I'm gonna have to leave it for tonight. It's 9:10 local time and I have to be at work at 6:30 tomorrow morning.

This was perfect motivation though!

It did. For some reason it gave me a boost to know that others in the same situation were doing the same thing.

You should do it again next week. No doubt I'll be behind then as well.
