Day 370
Did it:
Cami--after weeks of only getting in a paragraph, or sometimes a sentence, I finally wrote a whole page today.

Day 369
Did it: Julie
I wrote a painful page and a half. I don't really know exactly what's coming next, so it's coming slow. I had to remind myself of that quote again so I would write a page before I let myself take a bubble bath. But my husband's been working a ton, which is making me a more productive writer. No husband around at night insisting I pay attention to him. :)

Day 368
Did it: Julie
I wrote four pages, on a night when I didn't want to do it at all. But I came across this on Sara Zarr's blog and it got my butt in gear. It's exactly how I feel:
"Sometimes I think I could have just as easily not been a writer. For example, by not writing, because of fear or self-doubt or not feeling entitled to give it a try. Or by watching more TV instead. Or giving up when I couldn’t figure out what happened next in a story, or after the first five years of rejection, or after I lost my first agent, or after the second five years of rejection. Et cetera. I’m still aware, every day, that this career is mine to keep or lose. There are lots of things from the business side of things I can’t control, but if I don’t keep writing I definitely will not be a writer."
Kim--I was inspired by Julie's quote and stayed up till midnight to get my page in. Thanks Julie!
