Charcoal Box - Writing Post

Peer pressure or cheerleading?

This is the post for all of you who write better if they don't feel alone.

Final scores on the doors?

I pledged 300/day for a total of 9000.

I got bulldozed by real life stuff these last two weeks but I managed to finish one fic for 4400 words, have another 2/3 done for 2700 words and a treat almost finished at 750, making my final total 7850. I didn't quite reach my goal but I'm pretty pleased with how I got on.

Today: 0 words
Pledged: 500 words/day
Total: 18,194

With a total average of 606 words per day, I've made my goal, which is great! However, I had 12 non-writing days, which is not great. I try to go for consistency over wordcount. I'm hoping December will be slightly better, since I won't have a week off, which disrupts my normal routine.

Congrats to everyone else for working towards your goals! I really enjoyed having an accountability post every day or so, that was really motivational.

30,004!!!!!

*does happy dance*

I pledged 1000 words per day, making for a first goal of 30K, with a possible stretch goal of 45K.

I wrote 43,668 words and finished all the Yuletide fic on my slate, plus one additional treat. I am so glad for the motivation/accountability provided by this challenge, as I doubt I would have finished all my fic in November without it.

Ended the month at 148 drabbles, 14,840 words (because one wasn't actually a drabble...)

Might try and do a few more in December, but I really do need to concentrate on my main assignment now! (I hope my recip doesn't hate me when they find out. I am really enjoying their prompt!)

I had hoped for 20k for November, but tapped out at 6,800.

Congrats to you guys who met your goals! \o/
