Totally Blew at Fast Draft

Yep...the harder I tried, the worse it got. The goal is 20 pages a day...I didn't even get my typical 500 WORDS a day. Bleh... Sick kids, family emergencies, friend emergencies, and a well-deserved girl's lunch out threw me off kilter. But despite my kids being home today from school (yet another emergency, but thank goodness it was the preschool's and not ours), I have managed to get 578 words cranked out. Not much...but it's a start and I finally have my characters. The even better thing about this is that I've got a slot reserved for the story at Total E-bound IF I get it finished by 31 March (I'm hoping to get it done well before then...barring emergencies!)



Instead of starting a whole new thread, I'll update today's word count here (2/20) --
Breathless

Don't feel bad hon. I got about 25 pages for the week PLUS I had to get all those freaking contest entries out!

Great title, girl!

And I haven't gotten much done this week either. Maybe 1,500-2,000 words.

But I am almost done with my first book trailer. Wow, what a great way to waste...er, spend time!
