5K-a-Day Challenge Kerri's Day #5 Results

FIVE (almost) MIX & MATCH DAY!

Found myself at the half way mark in our ten days of feverishly paced writing--in desperate need of inspiration and motivation. So, I decided to mix things up a bit. See below for how I did today (despite the continued lack of sleep).

Oh, and I'll add a mini-pic of me with my brand new ARC copy of Courting Demons (this has only a proof cover here not the final version). I'm so proud of it!

Here's how I did...

Day #5

7:49 a.m.
More sleeplessness and today I'm in a bit of a grumpy mood. Kids are grumpy too so we'll see how it goes today. Have been up since 4:00 a.m. but doing chores and grumbling. Ready to write now…sort of. :-o

8:42 a.m. Update
Diaper trauma and other children related incidents have plagued my progress. I'm only up to 312 words during my pitiful first jaunt (although I did delete an entire scene that made no sense from yesterday). But I'm getting to a good part of the book now. So, I'll be back to it in just a moment.

9:16 a.m. Update
A load of dishes started. Check. A load of laundry started. Check. Garbage on the curb. Check. Children still fussy. Check. Momma writing up to 974 words. Check. Geez, this first 1K won't hurry up and get here today. I need some motivation or something. Feels like it should be at least noon by now.

10:28 a.m. Update
Started new Middle Grade book project for a boost of much needed inspiration. Wrote 1264 on that making my new today's total (2238). Taking a mid-day break shortly. Hope to get the other half of my 5K in this afternoon but we have company coming after lunch and hubby's coming home early—so we'll see!

3:38 p.m. Update
The company is gone and I'm back at it. After the brief respite I had earlier in starting off my new MG project, I decided to go back to my Mystery and continue onward. Now I'm up to 1746 on this novel for today making my daily total (3010). So, just a tad under 2K to go. I think I can do it. Caffeine is definitely my drug of choice. Back soon.

4:38 p.m. Update
Thought I was further along than I really was (due to my tired brain attempting to do math) but I still rounded it out at 3728 for my most current tally. I'll try to get in one more good writing jaunt before the end of day. Hubby is home!

5:30 p.m. Update
4192 is my official grand total for today. My back is killing me and I need to relax. Too tired to keep up the pace. Still pretty darn good, if you ask me. See you tomorrow.

Tally for today:
2928 on Mystery
1264 on MG book

Does that equal 4192? Someone check my math! LOL How'd you all do?
