Today I mostly wrote ... the word count thread.
I'd would have shared. Give it to me next time.

Sorry that's like a drive by! So has anyone tried this stuff? Writer's tears, I mean and obviously I'm referring to the whiskey rather than drinking our own.
I'm told its really good stuff. Still miffed I didn't get to drink any though.

How the heck did we get to the top of Everest?
One elephant at a time.
I thought that was Hannibal?Another 2K yesterday.
Hannibal was the Alps.
And another 500 words of sci fi. Time for an explosion, I think.

If they stopped breaking into rooms and just standing around in silence, I'd be more sympathetic to them
It's not so much the standing, it's what you find they've left in the corner after they've gone.327 today and 300 and something yesterday. Not brilliant but better than nothing and it's progress.

They can make paper out of elephant poop. Its quite nice paper too. Unscented.
About 500 words today, but as it's the first time I've written anything in 9 weeks, it's an improvement. Anyways, took the tally for the book over 70k.
1100 yesterday, but only because I started something new - they always go much faster to begin with.
Nice going Roger and Benjamin. GL I was sent an elephant poo paper card once. :-)
And today I have to do reformatting on 15, 000 words of code. Less fun.

Isn't there an advertising slogan 'When you care enough to send the very best'?

More of a calling card, surely?
Bet it was a really crappy card too . . .
Been reading through the book and making some more changes ... like painting the Forth Bridge!
Sympathies Pam. I wrote 490 words. So it creeps forward. :-)
halted the novel for a bit to knock out a few poems as a change.
Cool, just sitting down to mine now - did 600 yesterday but will probably do some non fiction today because I'm feeling a bit meh and it's easier.
putting together another collection of stories for a blog tour. So far done 6000 words for five stories, perhaps another ten thousand to do
Nice going Jim. Only did 150 words yesterday. Might crack on with some non fiction today just to get the numbers up again!Cheers

I recommended your blog to a lady yesterday, I think she'll find it therapeutic :-)
New project continues to be vastly easier than trying to finish anything. 4000 words this week so far.
Slogged through changes on a couple of chapters today.
Brain working for the first time in a week (new med turned me into a zombie). Got some updates done - felt a bit like myself.
A day of heavy editing and formatting. Joy.

I find that the project that is going well is always the one I don't actually need to do and the project I least feel like doing is the one with the deadline.

Good stuff, glad it's settling down a bit.
Will wrote: "A day of heavy editing and formatting. Joy."
I want to make a joke about it being better, or worse than heavy petting but I'm sorry, I can't think of a witty way to do it ...
Jim wrote: "I recommended your blog to a lady yesterday, I think she'll find it therapeutic :-)"
Thank you, I'm not sure how therapeutic my ramblings would be to anyone but I hope it helps her.
Oooo and 2,002 words on the non fiction today in an hour and a half! Woot!
M.T. wrote: "I find that the project that is going well is always the one I don't actually need to do and the project I least feel like doing is the one with the deadline."Same here, this project is currently for nobody's benefit whatsoever.
700 words today.
Just got a new writing happy (finally!) So now I can sit down away from the work computer and do writing without being tempted to do work . . . :-DExpect non-zero numbers to be posted more regularly than once a quarter, lol. Gonna do Camp Nano next month too (although I won't have a massive goal initially).
Now, what was my book about?
Mwahahahargh! I'm doing camp nano too. I'm going to try and write a 20k short, or possibly two, then I'll have three ready to go.

I bought that for a writer friend, and he didn't even give me any!
