10,000 words or 20% of the way through, or 1/5 of your words, or 6 days into this challenge... Many ways to look at this goal.

One of the best things to do when you're discouraged, believe it or not, is keep writing. This is about quantity. This is a first draft. This is a your chance to accomplish a huge goal in a short amount of time.

You can't win if you don't try.
And you can't try if you don't keep writing words toward your goal!

So many great new and returning folks this year--check out the introductions and post them some encouragement too!
I'll reply more tomorrow but wanted to congratulate everyone for a great first day of writing. If you're stuck, skip ahead a bit and if you are distracted by a different awesome idea than the one you planned, write that instead. If you need help or encouragement, post in the forums, on FB, or email me at lysistratagirl@yahoo.com.
1667+1667= 3334 words for November 2

Happy writing! ~lissa

It's time to write. Get off the forums until you reach your wordcount for today!

Okay -- well, if you need encouragement or inspiration, or have questions or suggestions, I guess you can stay for a little while.

THEN GO WRITE.

KickOff was awesome tonight--43 people and too many familiar faces to name them all! I adore seeing all of our old friends in November and meeting newbies also!
Share your ideas below for people who weren't there--we have about 290 more people signed up in our region than we saw at kickoff so chance are someone will appreciate what you have to say! **lissa
