April Writing Challenge

So how did we end the writing challenge after extending it for another month?

Kay was working towards 10,000 words and reached 7453.

Sarai was striving for 5000 words and dashed across the line with 5042.

Dawne was hoping for 750 pages and created an amazing number of 583 pages in her genealogy work.

Delia had the goal of 15,000 words and managed a whopping 14,779.

I struggled to complete my 20,056 which met my goal of 20,000.

We're all doing an amazing job and this challenge has kept us motivated. I've heard from several of you, who would like to continue writing. I've been told by Dawne that I'm the social coordinator, so I ask for your May/ June goals, since we seem to do better with a 2 month window.

The challenge is on.

Dare I add 5000 more words...sure.

Dawne said...

Okay, here I am. I am going to try again for 750 pages.

Dawne said...

... total. Not another 750 pages.

I'm going to aim for 5,000 words on my personal writing and I'm going to take a page from Dawne's book and try to write up 10 pages of genealogy material. It may not seem like a lot but as a novice, I'm not sure I can do it.

Okay, I think I was going for 5,000 by the end of April--I slipped a bit and only did 4200. I'm going to go for 3,000 in May.

Um... School visits will slow me down and make me tired... And I want to revisit an old story and see what changes need to be made, so I'm not sure how much new writing will get done. How about, I will read through 5 chapters of the old story and make changes as needed. That's my goal.
