Sweatin' with Sven!



I'd rather be in Paradise (see below), but NO ... I'm sitting here at my desk sweatin' with Sven!

http://70daysofsweat.com/wordpress/archives/71

Yesterday I hammered out 1200 words, but today Sven's kicking my butt. I've managed to procrastinate in every way possible. Including starting this blog. LOL! A whopping 140 words of my current novel have made it from my head to my keyboard. Yep, it's going to be a late night!

I've also entered Karin Tabke's first line contest. Stop by her web site if you get a chance (the eye candy is well worth it!) and see how long I can hang in the competition. The contest is taking place on her blog. http://www.karintabke.com/

Hey Wendi! Cool digs. I actually posted on my blog today for the first time since mid July. My bad.

I'm going to have to fiddle around with it and add some blog links to it, as well as that neat feature you have with the Sweatin with Sven day tallies. Day 1 was 910, day 2 1125. I'm aiming for 750 a day, so I'm thrilled with both days. I've written more in two days, than I have in some months. What a great way to get a kick in the right direction.

Way to go, Jordanne! Thanks for stopping by. :)

Nice blog!!! Love the picture of the ocean, makes me want to go on vacation. *sigh*

Don't sweat it about being short on words today, you'll have days like that. I'm going to give NaNo a shot this year so I'll probably be going nuts trying to make my word count each day. LOL.

Wendi said...

Thanks, Jennifer! Good luck with NaNo. I can't imagine doing that in November with all of the holiday stuff. Let me know how you do! :)

Wendi, way to go on Karin's 1st line entry. I can't believe it's started already. Good luck. I know you'll do fine. I hope I have time to do 'sweatin'. I can't believe the contest wins and finalists went into RWR so soon. And I'm so on sassy southern lovin' lol

Hey Wendi! Hooray on your blog! It looks great and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more. =) Sweating with Sven seems like a fascinating adventure, and best wishes on the 1st line contest! I looked through them and thought yours was one of the best!

Hi Wendi!

How's it going today? I smiled when I read your words about procrastination... I'm the world's greatest procrastinator when it comes to starting writing for the day... I will do anything rather than open up my WIP!

But I am going to be good now, and begin...

Have a good writing day!

Portia, if you come up with any new ways to put off work, let me know! :D Thanks for stopping by.
