Day 39

Did it:

Cami-30 revised pages. Woo-hoo!
Elena
Julie--barely. I'm hating it.



Didn't:
Kim--sewing, sewing sewing. It's fun to exercise different creative muscles once in a while. Then on to forcing the mountain of toys at our house into some type of organization that doesn't involve a pile on the floor of the baby's room. But I'll be back to my pages soon.
Laura - Failing miserably all week... it's the end of the term chaos!
Jamie - My mom's birthday

Day 38

Did it:

Cami
Jamie
Elena--had a hard time getting started, but when I finally did, I couldn't stop. Yay! Finally another good day.
Kim

Didn't:

Julie-Veteran's Day festivities

Day 37

Did it:

Julie--barely
Jamie - fixed some things that definitely needed to be fixed before I could be excited about moving on again
Cami-revised another full chapter.
Elena--sort of. Wasn't very productive.

Didn't:
Kim--I've been enjoying tackling the way-overdue section of my to do list (stuff that's been waiting for my attention for a year or two), letting some important story questions stew while I work, and I hope to get back to writing in a couple of days.

Day 36

Did it:

Julie--two pages
Elena

Didn't:

Jamie - Playing catch-up today for all that didn't get done while the baby was sick. Will try for tonight, but I doubt it.
Cami--Three words-BOY SCOUT RECHARTERING. If you've ever done it, you'll understand.
Kim

Day 35

Did it:

Julie--who's surprised that I'm the first one to post today? I sure am. And I wrote 4 pages to boot.
Cami
Kim
Elena

Didn't:

Jamie - I've been running the Dr rounds this morning. Sure it's 1:23 and I'm already giving up. Oh well.

Day 34...

Did:

Laura (2 pages... getting caught up)
Julie--3 pages! Of a brand new novel! No outline or anything! We'll see how this goes. It is National Novel Writing Month after all.
Cami--I worked through the rest of that frustrating scene I was having trouble with yesterday.
Jamie
Kim
Elena

Didn't:

Day 33

Did it:

Cami-a rather frustrating, unproductive day of writing.
Jamie
Kim

Didn't:
Laura - swimming in papers...
Julie--but I did randomly get three different rejections for three different pieces today. So I still felt like a writer.

Kyle--I chose sleep. I'm happy with my decision.

Elena--Jamie's fault. I read Jamie's book instead. Thanks a lot, Jamie! Really. I loved it.

First Drafts

I was totally unproductive last week when it came to writing. I'm just not sure where all my time went, but by now I've managed to convince myself that there wasn't any time for writing. Last night though I found something an author wrote on writing first drafts that I found interesting (http://betweenfactandfiction.blogspot.com/2009/10/tips-for-first-drafting.html). Perhaps with this new insight I will be able to be more productive this week.
