Fagin February 500 words/day--all genres welcome!

Got another couple of hundred words before my flight this evening. On the plane I realised why I was having trouble with this chapter - sod all happens. I have a date with a delete key!

done over 800 words today.

690 words. But how many of them will remain tomorrow?

Hmm...need to do some thinking.

629 yesterday.

I've spent the last couple of weeks thinking I'm an idiot for thinking I can write a novel. I'm over that now. This book's going to kick arse!

Yeah, Franky, kick some arse! I think I'm getting my groove back. Well, at least I got a decent word count flowing the past couple of days. Gonna hunker down tomorrow and get it going again.

Got through two chapters tonight, including my torture chapter. Not too many changes required to these - clarified a couple of things, and killed some adverbs - but it's progress.

This editing backwards thing is working pretty well so far.

y'all sound like you're kickin'! I'll join the fray. While my internet was out most of a day, the only thing that worked on my iPad was Storyist. I've got 1050 total over various projects. Even through the power outage.

Awesome, everyone!


824 words last night. I'm about 5k away from being done.

AWesome wordage, everyone! You guys blow me away!

No wordage for me over the past 4 days! Well, no excuse other than it was my b-day weekend.

Another year older and none the wiser.

Did get words today, even a few edits in, and I am loving this scene. Not huge wordage, but wordage just the same. 723 for this afternoon, closing out the chapter and bringing the WIP total to 55,421!

561 words today. Completely rewrote what I did yesterday and it flowed a bit better.

Well done, everyone!

I reordered some scenes, did some editing on them, and added 1,500 words today.

Two more chapters edited. Many, many adverbs went to meet their Maker.

Seventeen chapters plus the prologue to go. I won't be done in February, but I don't think it will take me all of March, either.

Awesome everyone.

Happy belated birthday, Ken!

Nothing last night. Wrist issues. I hope to get back at it today, though.

Thanks, Saoirse!


Hope your wrist feels better soon.


Want to get LOTS of words today. Getting ready to being the next chapter and have no idea where it's going, but then, that's half the fun.

Well, I deleted 973 words and wrote 975 new ones. Although two of those are possibly "Chapter Twenty". In which case I replaced 973 words with 973 words. Not bad.

Great work everyone!

98 words to sign off the month.

Sore head and lack of concentration has been the story of my day. I even spelt my name wrong earlier...just one of those days.

Two more chapters through the wringer. Once again, not a lot of changes here, just making some things more explicit. (But not a lot more.)

I've got sixteen more left, including the prologue, so I'm hoping to finish on March 8. And then...a new query letter. Gulp.

Nothing last night, as my wrist is still hurting. I did work on a side project, mostly plotting stuff so I was productive...somewhat.
