70 Days of Sweat – Day One | Lynn Raye Harris

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007 Oct 16th, 2007

It took me all day to get in gear, with many stops and starts, but I did it. I wrote my 1285 words for the day! In fact, I wrote 1342 words.

And believe me, I didn’t think I was going to make it at one point. I opened up the WIP and stared. And stared some more. And read some of the challenge participants’ blogs. And stared.

Well, you get the idea. It was painful going, but I wrote 875 words on my nearly done GH entry and 467 words on the new book.

Having accountability is a good thing for me. I knew I HAD to get this done. I made a commitment and I told people I was going to do it. Failure is not an option.

So now I’m cracking open a beer and celebrating. Maybe tonight, I’ll sleep like a baby. Or a lazy cat….

Thanks, Jean! That’s my Nimitz, the cutest, crankiest, silliest beast ever rescued off a highway in Honolulu. Hubby pointed out the other day, as he was sorting through photos on the computer, that we have about a gazillion pics of this cat sleeping. LOL!

Hey, thanks for stopping by! Day 1 went great, but my Day 2 lunch break session was not as productive as I would have liked… oh well, I’ll make it up this evening.

Good luck on Day 2!

Hey, stanmanx! Good luck to you too. I bet you can make it up tonight.

Thanks, Cyn! It feels good to have a goal and a real deadline, even if it’s only a deadline amongst like-minded people. It helps.

Nimitz is such an elegant sleeper. I can understand why you have so many pictures of him.
