My goal is 50k. It’s been a long time since I last did this, but I am so ready to jump back in. Good luck everyone! Hope all your stories come to life for you.

Thanks Daemora. It went well. Word count for today was 3944. So much better than I expected with such a long time away from any serious writing. Hope you’re having good results as well.

It continues to go well. Word count is at 17,205. In all fairness I have to confess that I probably have an advantage over many of the other writers who are doing this challenge. I retired from my full time nursing job a few months ago, so my time is my own now. I have the luxury of being able to keep part of my brain in that alternate reality I am creating on the page. To those of you who are bravely committing to doing this while dealing with the demands of the workplace, I salute you!

Word count at 19,342. Had to stop working on my scary story because of all the strange unexplainable noises in my house tonight. I smudged it today, and something was not happy.

Seeing your post about people working while doing this challenge gave me some extra motivation to pick up the pace with my own writing! I'm working full time, and sometimes it's really hard to still find time for writing. Thanks!

Word count at 20,008. I haven’t been able to spend much time at the keyboard the past couple of days, but, that’s ok. Little by little the words add up, as long as you don’t give up. Some days finding the motivation isn’t easy, especially after putting in a lot of time and effort at job or life stuff. It’s not always easy, but I read a great quote somewhere that said something like, “If you really want something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t you’ll find an excuse.”

Way to go, ghostdog! I am one of these people braving this with a full-time job and it's not been easy, but you've inspired me to keep going! And it's definitely spooky when real-life inspiration gets a little too real. I hope everything's looking better with the unhappy something.

“If you really want something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t you’ll find an excuse.” I love this quote. It's so true! I hope you're keeping up with the writing! You're an inspiration. Any more spooky ghost sounds in your house? Or has the smudging banished them all?
