I broke 2000 words today!

Hooray! Today I crossed the 2000 word mark. Unfortunately, not one of those words was written for 'The Forgotten Children'. Instead, I was writing a narrative for an educational publisher. It has to be 3350 words, or thereabouts, so I certainly broke the back of it today. With a bit of luck, I should be able to finish it tomorrow and get back to my Forgotten Children over the weekend!

The aim of this month was to write every day and I have nearly made it to the end of the first week. Here is my tally so far:
Day One - 1008 words
Day Two - 711 words
Day Three - 1055 words
Day Four - 568 words
Dave Five - 683 words
Today - 2025 words

That's a total of 6050 words, at an average of 1008 words a day. Just imagine if I could sustain this amount of writing. How much more prolific would I be?! And so the question remains - what stops me from being this disciplined the other 11 months of the year?

I'll tell you what stops you from doing that the remaining 11 months of the year... the fact that you will lost fingers from typing too much!

I should invent some kind of finger spa, to sooth the fingers of a writer...

then you can live the dream and write, write, write... without the fear of finger loss!

*winks*
