August Word Count Challenge

As mentioned in last post, instead of short story challenge, I will start word-count challenge from now on. But the word count is not limited to just one project. So if you are working on few novels, short stories, flash fiction or even non-fiction, then your final word count will be a combination of all your projects. So let's make this a challenge. NaNo is 50000 month, so to start gearing towards that, how about 30K this month? That's less than 1000 words a day. Come on, you can do it. So anyone who is interested in joining this new challenge, don't forget to leave your names and your targets.

  1. Hey, I'm game! I want to write at least 1K on my current WiP every day until October 15, which is my deadline.

  2. Lovely idea! My goals have to fall under the "finish revisions and build a pantry" category. ;-)

  4. Okay - I'm in for 30,000 words total between my blog serial, my novel WIP, my short story WIP, and my revisions to another MS.

    Now to keep track of it all... :-)

  5. I want to be able to set one. My problem is that I go between editing and writing I wonder if I'll be able to keep track! :) It's a fantastic idea though... to have a plan!
