5K-a-Day Challenge Kerri's Day #8 Results

Feeling CRABBY!

This was my worst day yet, my friends. Last minute urgencies before our departure and then a trip full of bickering kids and a Mamma-sized migraine to boot left me with my smallest word count of the day since I began. But I did write today and that is what it is all about.

Still made tiny sand crab clawprints in my WIP.

Here's how I did...

Day #8

2:11 p.m.
On the road for our end of summer trip. Will try to get some writing done despite the fact that I've made it this late in the day without so much as a word. 5K is doubtful with 3 kids crammed together like sardines in the back seat and a migraine headache brewing in my forehead region but I'll give it the old college try. Like when I was in college and waited until the night before final exams to cram. Ha!

2:31 p.m. Update
637 words accomplished on my first "car typing jaunt" have a new appreciation for Dawn and her daily bouncing keyboard challenges! Must deal with fussy children and race car driving style hubby…back in a minute to make a thousand.

3:53 p.m. Update
McDonald's break and two tantrums later (the kids tantrums—not mine) I've boosted my daily word count up to only 1360 and I consider that brilliant progress. Back later.

But I never made it back and now I'm all tuckered out. Kids are in bed and that's where I'm headed...6 hours from home. I miss my bed. Tomorrow I'll kick this challenge's bootie.

Night ya'll.
