#Jan1000

1/31/2014

It's the last day of January and that means the last day of #Jan1000.  I posted here about #Jan1000
but the essence was a commitment to write every day.  Keep the momentum going!

As I said in my post, it's hard to have a "group goal" because all of our writing and personal lives are different, but boy did the words fly in January!  Some of us wrote ginormous words a day, some of us only a few, but ALL goals were celebrated.

I lost a week of writing (yeah, life happens) but without #Jan1000 I gasp to think where I might be.  So THANK YOU to all my fellow writers who kept the momentum going.
  Want to join us in February?  Just check in on Twitter with the hashtag #Feb1000.

Remember, all our goals are different.  Yours might be a 1000 words a minute (yes, we hate you ; ) or a 1000 words a day, or maybe a 1000 words for the month--whatever it is, we'll keep the momentum going.  Writing begets writing.


Now, onward to . . .

One week from TODAY!
Can you tell I'm excited?

One week from today the final cover of THE KISS OF DECEPTION will be revealed at Romantic Times! (Thanks for sharing my excitement RT!!)

 I can't wait because:
1) It is gorgeous (yes I know I'm biased. But it is!) and,
2) I can at last update my website to include The Kiss of Deception art and so much more.
3) It is all becoming more real, and once people read the book I can blab about it and I really want to blab, because there's blabbable stuff in it, ya know? Juicy stuff that even I am not sure how it will turn out.  Well, I think I know, but no story is written in stone until it is.

Enough!  Stay tuned for the reveal . . .

Happy New Year!

New year. New beginnings. Fresh goals. And that includes writing goals. So here is a reminder from Monday's post:

"In the meantime, I'm focusing on the WIP (book #2) On Twitter a few of us writers are jumping into January with a commitment #Jan1000, which for me means at least a thousand words a day every day.  Yes, every day. One truth I've learned is that writing begets writing.  Sometimes it's hard to get the writing engine warmed up, but once you do, it's hard to stop the wheels from racing. 

I actually hope (and expect) to write more than a thousand words a day, but that is my minimum goal. I like having goals that don't overwhelm me. Yep, bite off a sweet chunk that won't choke you!

Trying to do a "group" shared goal can be difficult because each of our writing lives are different.  We all have different kinds of commitments which include day jobs, children, other books that need editing while we try to write a new one, etc.  So
#Jan1000 might mean a thousand words a day for one writer, like it does for me, or a thousand words a week, a month, or an hour (for you over-achievers.) But it is a goal!  And I need those.

If you do too, join us for
#Jan1000 and make a dent in that writing project."

Let's go!
