Writing Sprints and Author Jokes

Lately I’ve been sprinting with buddy Darynda Jones every day. We hop on a Zoom meeting and do three one-hour writing sprints, with 20-20 minute breaks in between. Well, that’s what I do – she keeps going because she’s under deadline and going for 5-7K per day. Doing this together started as a way to help her with accountability, but I’ve been really benefiting from it, too. Knowing I have to “meet “with her at 9am and again after break, keeps me on schedule also.

Plus it’s really fun to share what we accomplished and ask each other questions. We try to keep the chatting to a minimum, so we stay on track with the work, but sometimes it’s pretty amusing

She posted this conversation to Facebook and it made me laugh. She’s, of course, very funny and good at polishing a joke – so she makes me sound good – but this was a funny conversation. Thought I’d share it here.
