I'm sitting at 8,401 words at the moment. I'll probably reach my goal sometime today.
Boys have been chatter bugs this month.
Nice, I hope the boys continue to provide you with inspiration.
Now you know how I feel with them nattering in my ear all the time. :)
They are competing with the other lunatics in my head.
Yes, I do. If they keep it up, I'm gonna have to pay you royalties...lol
I wonder if yours is half as crowded as mine these days.
Hah, considering what April's bringing my way, I might need those royalties. LOL
Somedays I have to wonder.
I'll see what I can do...lol
My brain is so LOUD some days. It's a wonder I get anything done.
Hahaha... I'll take what I can get. :)
I sat down on Saturday and did a good 1300 words, so I am very pleased with current progress for March - ahead of schedule on 3005 - even though overall I'm behind for the year. As that's only around 500 words behind it's no biggie and should be solved with another session like Saturday!
The Weekend Challenge schedule goes to early July, but if anyone is looking for dates in later July or the rest of 2019, they should definitely let me know in the schedule post!
My aim to be fantastic this week is just to get through it, because next week I have three glorious days off when my husband and I will be flying to beautiful Queenstown here in NZ for a birthday (his is the 1st April) and anniversary (our 23rd anniv was in Feb) present. It should be lovely and I can't wait! ;-)
Awesome! I'd be pleased too with that kind of output. 500 words is nothing, you've got this!
Well, happy birthday to your husband! My niece's birthday is on the 2nd, she narrowly missed being born on the 1st. I hope you guys love the trip.
Thanks! I'm pretty pleased I got this far, and not long to go on the fic either! ;-)
Thank you! I will pass on your wishes. Not only he got landed with April Fool's Day, as he was born on his eldest sister's birthday! The trip should be awesome!

That's even better. Feels so good to be closing in on the end of it, I'm sure.
Oh lord, that's too funny! My sister and my sister-in-law do not get along well at all. When my SIL discovered she was due around my sister's birthday (June 29), she refused the possibility that she'd have the baby on my sister's birthday. Guess what? She was WRONG. My sister still thinks it's funny (as do I). My SIL, not so much.
a LOT of rewriting/editing words done this month...as I want to get this pass done before NaNo Camp. There's been a lot of fleshing out and continuity stuff fixed, bits missing in the first draft added...almost 50 pages of it (probably nearer to 60 when I finish)
But I'm happy with the results.
some preliminary work has begun on home repairs...so if I disappear its because my computer is being relocated temporarily. At least I'll have the work computer to check in on and to handle prompts for next weekend (I hope ;) )
Congrats on being so on top of everything. And good luck with the home repairs. That can be stressful as all get out!
