Sweatin'

So, it's been a week since I started the 70 Days of Sweat challenge. So far, so good. I'm a little over 50K words on my WIP (started at 30K) as of this morning, and hoping to knock out a few more today. And I'm finally ON SCHEDULE. My goal is to have a drafted 80-90K words to query by the end of March, and I think I might actually manage this. I wanted to get more side-projects rolling along the way, and they have fallen by the wayside.

But I'm okay with that. Cloak is my number one focus, and I'm just so happy that it's going smoothly - I can't complain. If I can get it done ahead of schedule, I can make up the time on the others.

I don't know if it's just the sweat challenge, but I do think it helped to get my butt in gear. I was dragging my feet on this, and I would have been trying to pull it together at the last minute.

I technically only need the first three chapters by the end of this month, but I wanted to have the whole thing drafted so I could write a true-to-form synopsis and make sure I hit all the right buttons in those first three chapters. Sven has helped me so far.

Keep it up sweaters!! 68(7?) days to go!!

Sven Says SWEAT!!!

GRRRRR! *makes mean muscle-flexing face*

I decided to join some fellow divas in the 70 Days of Sweat Challenge. I was a little wary, but I really think something like this will help kick my butt into gear, so I'm going for it. Also, there's a great supportive group of talented writers there for inspiration.
