Did I beat last week’s total?

Two weeks ago I wrote 8,220 words, which means last week I missed that total by 2,089 words. Luckily, this week I stepped it up a notch and beat Week 41’s total by 144 words. So, you win some, you lose some.

Badges!

No badges this week, although I’m hoping for a special one next week…

Goals for next week?

This weekend I’m participating in one of the two annual “5K Walk/Run/Write” marathons held by the 10 Minute Novelists. The idea is to walk or run a 5K (you can either enter an official 5K contest near you, or just map out a 5K area to walk or run – this also includes completing 5K on a treadmill if the weather isn’t cooperating), and then write 5K (5,000 words) in the same weekend.

So far I’ve completed my 5K walk/run on the elliptical at the gym…

3.28 miles = ~5.28 km!

And now I need to hit 5K with my writing! I’ve logged 3,159 words so far this weekend, so I’ve just got another 1,841 left to win this thing.

Need a little extra motivation? I would highly recommend trying the 5K Walk/Run/Write one of these weekends, to push yourself mentally and physically. It’s also great practice for NaNoWriMo, which is coming up quick!

What are YOU working on this week?

And are you planning to do NaNoWriMo? If so, you’ll want to join my mailing list to get a free copy of my book, NaNoWriMo: A Cheater’s Guide, as well as a word tracker and weekly tips for getting that novel done!
