There was no writing Friday through Sunday. (Friday we went to Disneyland, Saturday we hung out at the Science Center and went out to dinner, and Sunday was church followed by the Chargers game following by serious vegging--so I forgive myself.) But the kids went back to school today and although I must also do some paying work, it is absolutely essential that I finish the first draft of Carnally Yours by Sunday, November 4 so I can give myself a full month to get Unbridled ready for the Golden Heart.
So, here's the word meter:
I was up to 15,600, but then I realized the scene was in entirely the wrong point of view, so I scrapped it. Assuming my projected word count is correct (and it should be within a few thousand words one way or the other), this means I need to crank out roughly 2,200 words per day.
Yikes! I'm never that fast. But I have to try...

Jackie, you know you CAN do it! :D
Good luck.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Yolanda, but today's total was only 1,160. I might squeeze out another hundred or so before my husband gets home for dinner, but I'm nowhere near the 2,200 I needed. Sooooo, that means the rest of the weeks' goal gets adjusted to 2,400 words per day.
Le sigh!
But hey, it was progress. And I'm past halfway :)!
