Hitting My Goal, Half a Month Early
This month is a clear indication of what I can do… when I’m pushing things.
Words Written: 34,573
With this count, and the 6 writing days before it, I’ve officially hit my word count goal for the month! I hit it on Wednesday.
Which is great because my writing days are going out the window, and quickly.
Books Read: 1 (The Darwin Elevator by Jason M. Hough)

Update: Writing Like My Life Depended On It.
August has a grand total of 13 writing days. That's like... nothing. And I still have to get in the full 83,500 words for the month!
Luckily, I know I'm on crunch time and I'm taking it seriously, as you can see...
I'm over half way there! Phew!
But this is no time to slack off, so I've got to get back to that grindstone.

Some notes on a Monday
Due to a few comments, complaints and some words advice I’ve gotten in the last few weeks, the price of Enemies of a sort will be bumping up soon. Don’t know exactly when, but there you go. I thought I’d give you fair warning just in case you wanted to sneak over to Amazon and snatch up a copy at the lower price.
I am in the middle of an amazing book called the Darwin Elevator. I think you

July's Counts
Words Written: (This week) 24,857
(July) 94,276
I made my w/c goal this month, and then some. Which is a nice change from the last two months where I haven’t.
That being said, this update is going to really short. I’ve got a huge chunk of this month where I’m not going to be able to do much (if any) writing, and so I’ve got some huge daily w/c goals!

Some Thoughts on Goals
At the beginning of the year, I set a goal of 1 million words written. If we're completely honest, that goal wasn't terribly extreme. If you write 2740-words/day each of the 365 days in a year you're a hundred words over.
On Monday, I passed the 600k mark. Sixty percent done (and I've been slowly losing the huge margin I gave myself in February.)
When I finished my last go-through of the novel
