Watch now | Butt in chair. Hands on keyboard. That's the Get it Done Challenge. Working on what I hope is the final draft of a historic novel I’ve worked on (and off) for ten years, I’ve set the bar pretty high at 12,000 words a week, or 2000 words a day. Others come in a few hundred. The above video highlights the work of a some of the writers (we have a dozen here) and at the end are some thoughts about the evolving process of creation.
PS: I know it's a little daunting but just tap on the "newest" tab of the comments, and start at the top. No need to stay with the thread. It's kind of impossible. Love having you here.
Checking in on Day 18 of Week 3: Back in Paris and haven’t written much. But have the whole weekend to do lots of writing. I love the Jane Smiley quotes!

We missed you to (did I brutalize your name??) I hope not. And when it's all done, I'll do another gathering to wrap up the challenge and have you guys do a kind of "slam" share.

Love, love, love the share but can it go over at the big board of the challenge: https://open.substack.com/pub/jenniferlauck/p/the-get-it-done-summer-challenge?r=fjvlj&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
So sad I missed this! I wanted to come but had a little house emergency to attend to. All's well!
I'm still on track!
5.5k words on week 1
5k words on week 2
on track to hit 5k for week 3
Woot!
