While I was on vacation I realized how much I enjoyed pushing myself to write more and more words. It became more like a part time job rather than a full time hobby. I focussed for longer periods of time and created plot twists just to move the story forward. I ended up really liking those plot twists.

I have two novels and a long short story I want to finish this summer. I think I can do it. The kids are home, and I’ll be spending a lot of time with them, but I think I can make 5000 words a day happen six days a week.

So I’ll be posting a lot of word counts. Last night I wrote 2300 words.

Feel free to join me either daily or at the end of the week when I post the official Spark Tally. It’s always better to be working with people rather than a complete vacuum. I look forward to seeing how far we can push ourselves!
