Eye on the Prize – ROW80 check in

So I just ran the numbers from last week’s three sprints and I was surprised to see that I surpassed by 5,000 weekly word goal with 6,100 words. Nice little treat for the end of the week and here I was feeling guilty that I missed a sprint and thought that I hadn’t written enough again this week. I’m starting to to get closer to the climax. I’m thinking about 5-7 more chapters until I’m there. If I stick to the outline I will need to write about 2-3 chapters per week for the rest of ROW80 to……..FINISH my WIP!
On the blogging front, I wrote 3 posts in advance last week and the Genre Blog Series kicked off on Wednesday with a fabulous post by Elizabeth S. Craig on writing traditional mystery murders. I’m looking forward to this Wednesday where fellow ROW80 pal, Barbara McDowell, will be talking about the Horror genre. I also posted by somewhat anticipated book review of “Will Write for Shoes: How to Write a Chick Lit Novel”. A great craft book that I would recommend to all writers writing women’s fiction or those with strong female leads.
I’ve also made it half way through another craft book. I seem to just be flying through these this round, but I did choose books that are a little less technical so it makes for smoother reading.
So I can see the finish line in sight. Just gotta keep my eye on the prize!
Check out the other ROW80 participants progress here.
Wow! Congratulations on the word count. Way to go. I think you have it in you. You can finish this WIP of yours by the end of Row. What do you think? Your Genre Blog Series sounds very interesting. I have added you to my lineup. 😉
Its in the goals to finish the WIP this round. Hopefully I make it or at least get close. Thanks Debra. 🙂

Woohoo! Almost there is awesome, Nicole. Fantastic word count. Keep pressing on for the prize it is just a few short steps ahead.

Thanks Gene. I think they are rather large steps, but I’ll take them one at a time.
Great job, Nicole!
