70 Days of Sweat

I hang my head in shame.
I had three edits that I did the past week and a half, plus my volunteer work so I'm really sad to say I have only added a paragraph....

Will Sven come spank me now?

:)

My total so far is about 3k

*hides from her CP's

Sweat with Sven

I am at 2000 words and I wish I was at 5000 words. Hopefully I can pick up my momentum, but my son has decided that since his sisters are in school during the day, I have to spend the day playing with him. He even threw a temper tantrum when I made my lasangas today. Yes, I had to make two because I love reheated lasagna LOL

Maniac Monday

I'm late posting because I spent yesterday goofing off on the Changeling Press yahoo group.

My Sven count for yesterday was 836. Not bad since I had to play outside with the boy and then spent 2 hours at the girls scout meeting. They made first aid kits. Um two of my kids want to quit girl scouts. I'm torn. I think they could really benefit from it, but how can I put that before dance or softball? Exercise is good too!

AND the maniac part of the day was that I had bent over to pick up something and stood up to smack my head on the bottom of the freezer door. Apparently my 3 year old is tall enough to reach it and WING it open and well, when you bend over in the kitchen how many of us look up before we stand back up. I was joking that he tried to make himself motherless because it hurt that bad. In fact I started to cry then he started to cry and asked for an ice pack for his boo boo.

*sighs
and so of course I keep bumping the top of my head. Who knew a pillow could hurt so much LOL

Sweat with Sven

For March first I didn't reach my 1k goal, but I did write about 800 words AND edited a short story :)

Michelle

Sweat with Sven Update 10-29

Well, even though I had edits and stuff with the kids that kept me from writing, plus a battery charger that is dying and won't charge most of the time. (and a little battle with self doubt...) I got it together, and wrote the past two days. My goal is 858 a day. I wrote 1,182 on Saturday, and 1,439 on Sunday. I have something due ASAP and I've been stuck on it for a while. I hope to finish it today. If I can write 3,502 words. And with a trip to the book fair this afternoon and a Girl Scout baking party tonight, I'm not sure if I'll have enough time. Of course if I don't take a nap today :)

Michelle

Sweat with Sven update

Ok, I admit it. I slacked off Sunday. We went to the farm, then tonight I have some promo things to take care of. Perhaps I can write after my chat :) I hope. Or after I deliver the posters my kids colored for the parade notices (community service baby! We give back to the community)
Sooo I need a new motivation.

70 Days of Sweat

well, I finished Friday with a whopping 5,520 words.
Today I came in at 1765.
I'm so close to my next reward. When I hit 10k on either Sorin or Macy I will post the reward Tina Bendoni made for me.

Sweat with Sven

My Writer's block broke thanks to three people!
Dawn Montgomery, Tina Bendoni, and Kim Knox. But mostly because of Dawn. She's writing this really hot story where I'm the heroine, and right now I'm tied up in bed and the hero has just woken me. And no, we hadn't been doing the nasty. I was a bad girl and he caught me. And now.... I'm his prisoner YUM. I want her to write MORE. AND she clued me in to this new version of Wicked Games I'd not heard before. I loved the song, but this version works so well with my story! I wrote 2,483 today and a 5,147 total. I am feeling awesome and am gonna keep writing.
Kim and Tina both pushed me to write, helped me when I struggled, and cheered me when they read unedited excerpts of my rude hero :) I am so grateful for my friends. I should mention Aline de Chevigny also pushed me today, but she's busy working hard at the mines so we aren't as able to push each other as usual.

SO my reward for today:

70 Days of Sweat

Sven? Who's that? I've discovered Cat bowling (Yes i love cats, but these are cartoons - no live cats harmed in the making - and my son loves to hear the witch cackle and the cats yeowl.

omg I am at 142 and closed it to take a break.

I got edits yesterday so today might be a break from Sven day so I can accomplish the edits...unless I can't stop opening the Cat Bowling...

Michelle

70 days of Sweat

Well got one of those nasty migraines today. I did manage to write just over 900 words, AND get my newsletter written and sent out, in addition to the other hum drum real life crapola.

Hopefully I can squeeze in some Vday writing before bed, but head hurts. But I made my goal. Wee

Michelle

70 Days of Sweat updated

So I wrote 868 words on my sven story yesterday, and about 500 words on my vday project. So I passed my goal of 858 by 10 words :)
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Now I just remembered I forgot to post my newsletter. I need to get busy on that :)

Michelle

70 days of Sweat

So yesterday I reached 881 of my 858 goal. I figure 858 words for 70 days and I'll have my 60,000 words for the three novellas :) weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

So I reached 881 and then closed the story and added two pages to my vday story. I showed my sven story at the DoC so I'll show some of my vday story here. (No I'm not counting the writing toward Sven. It's just a story I wanna finish :)

“Do I look fat?” I turned, trying to see my reflection from every angle. When I bought this tiny bikini I’d been happy with my weight, but I’d put on a few pounds. I wasn’t sure if it was just me or if I was too fat to wear this in public.

“What?” Gabriel, my roommate and fashion savior called from the living room.

I took a deep breath for courage, and walked out into the living room. I struck my best sultry pose, put one hand on my hip and held the other out and pouted at Gabriel.

“What are you doing, Irene?”

“Do I look fat?” I dropped the runway model pose and straightened to my full six foot height. Gabriel was one of the few men I knew that was taller than me. I didn’t have to slouch when talking to him, and we looked great together when we went out with the gang.

“No. You have a luscious body.” He looked back down at his game of solitaire.

“Gabe.” I shook my head and sat on the arm of the sofa. I knew he was gay, but not that he’d be that desperate to look away from my body. “I do look fat, don’t I?”

“No. You have a nicely toned body. You’re a bit white though. You need to spend more time in the sun.”

I sighed and pushed his shoulder. “You know what I mean. You won’t even look at me now.”

“You’re practically naked.”

“So?” I nudged him again and laughed. “You’ve seen me parade around in my teddies, what’s more revealing about this?”

Gabriel moved away from me so I slipped between him and the arm of the sofa. “Spill it, loverboy.”

I loved watching his face flush when I called him that. Sometimes I’d do it just to watch his pretty face color. Gabriel was one fine specimen of man. He’d make some man really happy one day. What a shame for the rest of us ladies, though. If he weren’t gay, I’d have taken him for a test drive. Or two. Or three. Or a bazillion.
