Okay, it’s Day 6! Where is everyone at? Are you ahead of your goals? Behind? Do you need a boost, to commiserate on challenges? Give us a snapshot.

I’m far ahead of my original goal which is great because I’m battling a cold and it’s kicking my butt badly. Made my 2000 word count for today and might pick away at the scene I was last working on some more later, but I need a break. Naps are good.

I am halfway between day 1 and 2 word count. My characters just aren’t speaking to me, or maybe they are, and I’m just not listening to them. Maybe I need to write the first murder and see if that gets things going.

I think I probably need to plot a bit more and then see how it goes.

I am also off to Supanova this weekend in Brisbane, last year I met, and a had a photo with, the lovely Gates McFadden. She was an absolute delight.

PS Linds - I have the Admin square on this MOTD. No doubt a remnant from time when I was helping with the book club. You may want to remove it at some stage. :)

I’m behind. A lot of things have managed to keep me busy, but I have at least touched my writing everyday I wanted to. My best day was Monday so far. We shall see how the rest of the week goes. I have overtime this weekend, so hopefully I can squeeze in time for writing some time after that. Every little bit counts I guess. :P

I have been writing a little every day since I started. And while I have no idea where the story will go and if the scenes I wrote will actually stay in the story, they helped me get a good feeling for my two main characters and helped me develop them further. I’m very happy about that.

Today I participated on my very first write-in; on the subway. It was so much fun and so much positive and creative energy. Including the break at the east end of Toronto we were on the subway for 2.5 hours and I managed to write 1395 words! I’m really happy about that :) It is so much then I expected I would be able to write and I think even more than I wrote (on this project) all week.
