Wrote another 13k words today, and I feel like I can bounce off walls. Humbled both the MC and the love interest, showing them that they could still improve. I think I did it in a way that would make them grow. Personally, I think that my leads have a growth mindset.

Figured out where the story should wander at, but still don't have the ending, despite the story being 40k words. But, then again, this is by far more fun! I just know that I need to complete the novel by day 10. No excuses, no whining!

Happy writing, everyone.

I wrote 6,541 words today, which is not as much as I have been writing the past three days, but I need some time for myself. Writing doesn't have to be a soul-sucking day job. I had one of those, and don't miss it. (Not that I am not looking for a new soul-sucking day job. The bills need to be paid.) I still have time until the end of the ten-day challenge, and now have 45k words for the project, out of 80k, and it is still day 4. I know I can do this!

Wrote 10k words. Not as much as I had hoped, but today is Saturday, and I feel that I should take it easier.

Happy writing, everyone!

Wrote 11,874 words today, and it is still not 1 p.m.! Getting an early start on the day is great! I also completed the book I was working on, and it is now 81k long. So, around 82k, once the manuscript comes together. The book was written in seven days, as a part of the ten-day challenge.

Happy writing, everyone!

Wrote 8k words today. I hope to finish with the editing of book two today, and get it on Smashwords. The manuscript is complete, and I even have a good cover. Canva is a lifesaver.

Happy writing, everyone!

Wrote 8k today. I think I will make it my new quota. I mean, 8k per day is a new book every 10 days, or every 5 days, depending on the length of the book. And that is what I like to call pulp speed.

(That said, there is a girl on my challenge in 4thewords, who did 16k words yesterday. Hats off to her. I need to walk a long way, before I reach this level.)

Happy writing, everyone!

Wrote 8,500 words today! Also, I resisted the urge to eat sweets, and made a killer musaka! (To all those who don't know what musaka is, this is a Balkan dish, which consists of potatoes, mince meat, and a topping of yogurt with eggs. It is very easy to make. You just need to fry the potatoes with the mince meat, and then add some water, so they could boil for a while. Afterward, you just place it in the oven with the yogurt-eggs topping( you need to add baking soda and salt to the topping), and bake until the topping becomes a lovely orange color. It took me just half an hour to prepare.)

Happy writing, everyone!
