Yikes. Only 1650 today, because I ended up spending most of the day with family.

Stupid family - they're dragging me down!

I was all keen, but got 880 words into the scene I was working on, felt bored, and realized it's because the scene isn't actually neccessary, so they're all cut. Of course I should have then gone on to the next scene, but I hadn't prepared to write that today so I'm all thrown off. Still, 880 words were written!

So 2,744 total! Which, by the page equation, is about 11 pages. Ooo, I like putting it that way.

Sadly, I must end here tonight.

I started with 3,381 words. I made it to 4,903 today! I could have had more but entertaining family became a priority.

Thanks for the cheerleading layla!

Three more pages edited which brings me to 45. Hopefully I'll get another ten pages in before the green beer starts flowing. :)

Well done everybody so far! It's late Tuesday afternoon here. I'm not sure if I'll get anything more written tonight, but I managed 2199 words today bringing my total to 14919. Yay! I too am using Scrivener, so no page numbers from me.
Happy writing! (and Happy St Patrick's Day for those who do that :) )

Nothing. I got caught up in researching and rewriting what I wrote yesterday instead. Oh well, it's still progress!

I write more than that a day. But I'll poke my head in to say good luck to everyone taking the challenge! (-:

2583 today. I'm getting into gear, but I need to keep revving up if I'm going to get this done.

Vroom, vroom...

The Great Swampy Middle is currently kicking my butt. I know I should write more today because I probably won't be able to write tomorrow during my water sample, but I just don't wanna.

Nada pages today. Mr. Man played hooky from work and we spent the day eating junk food and watching the Leprechaun horror movies. Yes, Leprechaun in Space is just as bad as it sounds!

Today I sacrificed my writing time to bake cookies. (I know, I know.) But on the bright side, I should have little trouble catching up tomorrow with the sugar high the cookies will give me. :D

Just shy of 1000 words today. Not fantastic, but at least rather than doing nothing I managed to push through and get a few words down. Perhaps I should have baked cookies so I could catch up tomorrow too!

Great job, everyone!

Maybe we should make this thread a regular thing?

I have 18 pages, and am ready to get started for today. I'm finally definitely in with this nonfiction book and have no doubt it will be finished. Especially since it might only be 100 pages.

Good times, good times. :)
