4th Sunday Check-In - #ROW80

I am not as far ahead with my goals as I would have liked at this stage, but given all of the family stuff that I have had going on I am relatively pleased with my progress.


  • Take part in Camp NaNo during July and write at least 20 pieces of flash fiction or 10,000 words. - I have 11 stories ready for second drafting and the foundations laid for 15 more, and my word count was 6,184.
  • I will spend Aug editing the pieces I have written and either submitting them to magazines or putting together my own collection. - Not started yet
  • Read and review 11 books. - Only one and a half so far, with all the family stuff going on I've barely had a minute to myself.
  • Work through the kinks in my WIP and progress with that, or finally lay it rest and start work on another novel. - Not started yet.


On top of this I have added another goal for August.


  • Complete the 750words.com challenge for the month (use the site to write a minimum of 750 words a day). - Completed every day so far

  3. Thanks guys. The 750 challenge is going well so far with a 7 day streak, and I have had some positive feedback on some of my early drafts as well. So, even if I'm not as far along as I would have liked things are at least moving in the right direction.
