4K-a-Day Challenge is Up and Running!

Ready, Set, WRITE!



Welcome to my 4K-a-Day challenge that runs from Monday, August 8, 2011 through Sunday, August 14th, 2011. That's SEVEN DAYS of writing mania.



My goal is to write at least 4,000 words per day. I invite you to take the challenge with me. If you are frightened by the number 4 (it is a really cute number, though, so I don't know why), you can set your own goal. But I invite you to strive to write as much as you can this week.



At the end of each day, I'll put up a new blog post. It will contain all the down and dirty, nitty gritty details of my delightful days (warning: may contain tales of dirty diapers) including my total word count for the day.



That's where you'll come back and post your results. Good or bad. No words or 9,000 words--we want to hear how you did and what challenges you faced and overcame to get your words in throughout each day.



If you've already logged off for the night (or thrown your computer out the window), you can come back in the morning and put your total on the prior day's post. I know some of you go to bed early or I might be late posting the day's blog or you might live on the other side of the world or something. No worries. Just be sure you've reported in each day for all 7 days!



If you do, you'll be entered to win one of several PRIZES!



What are these PRIZES? Hmm...I'm working on it. But I can tell you that I've had special requests for cars, televisions, hunky male cover models, and personally I'd like a babysitter. Unfortunately, I doubt any of those will be forthcoming so you'll just have to be surprised.



Just think, even if you don't win a prize--your true reward will be all those lovely words you've added to one or more manuscripts.



A special shout out to all my Book Factory class folks who've bravely come along for the ride. Helloooooooooooooo!



Let's get going...
