Whew! Sixty thousand words-done! This was for the Mayke It Happen challenge by Liberty State Fiction Writers. The challenge was to write 60K by May 31st.
For awhile I wasn't sure I was going to finish. The usual issues were there, family time, work responsibilities, that little devil who sits on my shoulder telling me to goof off....
A friend at Liberty State Writers told me that she sets aside 20 minutes to write. I asked what she could accomplish in just 20 minutes? She said it gets her going. So I thought about this for awhile and decided to give it a try. There were plenty of times I'd think that I didn't have enough time to write anything but 20 minutes? I have that. Before work 20 minutes is 20 minutes, no more, no less. But after work those 20 minutes could morph into hours. It was like a kick start with no commitment.
Anyway, it's done. Yippieee!
Now I have to reread, rewrite and get it out somewhere.
Ahhhhhh,,,,it feels so good to finish.

Oh yay! Wow, and you're early! You're a week early! That's awesome, Aimless!
WOO HOO! Congratulations on finishing the challenge!
Thanks!
For a while there I didn't think I'd make it.
One of the reasons I haven't blogged in a while. If I was going to write it was going to be to Mayke it Happen.
Congrats! It does feel good to finish, no matter what the project is!! I just finished my little novelette/novella..it's under 20,000 words...took me longer than I hoped...about 6 weeks...but still!
