I’m trying to get myself geared up to write some of the closing scenes in my novel- that’s right, I’m approaching THE END.
Yikes!
67,642 words. And it’s time for some characters to say goodbye. And to realize what was right in front of them all along. We’ll see how this goes....
So leave a comment to let me know you’re sprinting with me, start writing at the top of the hour, and then check back every 15 minutes and share your word count.
Could I reach THE END tonight???
Unlikely. I’m far too wordy for that.
;-)
I’m alllll aloooone! (sung to the tune of “You’re Not Alone”) LOL! 1 minute and counting- maybe we’ll have some late arrivals. Off I go!

ReplyDeleteI forgot to check in! Sorry Kasey! :) But I'm at 1,091. Thanks for doing this!!
ReplyDelete1408- Hi Bonnie! :-)
ReplyDelete1,267 :) Hiya!
ReplyDeleteI finished off with 1,834. :-)
ReplyDelete1,694 :) Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteEek! I'm here, just logging in! GO KASEY!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Bonnie!
ReplyDelete221 words in the 15 minute sprint
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo!!
ReplyDeleteNice! I just finished off (I got on a roll and didn’t want to stop) with 2,740. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy house is dusty, too. House cleaning is the first thing to go when I'm writing. that and cooking. Balance is hard for me too. Whenever I'm doing one thing, I think, I should the doing such and such. Because we have people in our live whom we love, our time is never just our own. I think that's what we have to reconcile. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhoops, forgot to check in. Add another 542!
ReplyDeleteSo are you done done? I'm in what I'm pretty sure is my penultimate chapter (right around 71000 words right now), and I'm freaking out!! I don't want to go to bed!
ReplyDeleteOh, and that's AMAZING!!! Way to go!!
ReplyDeleteHi Katy! How long are you writing for? I'll join with if you are going for another 15 mins.
ReplyDelete-Nikki
So I missed the sprint. But I did 15 mins on my own and got 408 words! Which is great because it's going towards tomorrows word count!!
ReplyDeleteGO NIKKI! Yep, I'm here, I just suck at checking in. I'm still here for another fifteen minutes! Write, write, write!
ReplyDeleteChalk up another 476, and I'm out! Thanks, Kasey! Go MMW!
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn’t end up being done done- people said their goodbyes, the heroine realized who she really loved and got her beloved horse back and her arch nemesis was found guilty and sent away to boarding school and her other arch nemeses will be taking an extended vacation and leaving her in peace for awhile. But I still have two more scenes that need to be written to wrap up some loose ends- one for a minor character who, as it turns out, was not as she seemed, and some closure for the MC about the one she had to say goodbye to. :-) Oh, and then I need to go back and rewrite a chapter which I changed halfway through and add in some scenes I didn’t feel like writing before but really need to be written! (just housekeeping getting from point A to point B stuff.) And Yay for you!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you Kasey! Keep it goin! I wish I could have joined in the race, but I'm not writing a book! :D
ReplyDeleteToo true, Mare. I like that perspective, however much it can sometimes make me feel like there's a lot hanging over me. It's all important!
