I think it was always reading writing books and better discipline, actually. And well... I read 8 chapters, and it is just didn't work out. I've a very low...
Just call me Psycho, because despite the schedule from you-know-where, I'm in. My challenge: Of all the zillions of contests that have a March 1 deadline, I'm...
EEP! Not even 1/2 done. Don't know where this week went (besides to heck in a handbasket.) I'm about 2k short of finising this rough rough draft, and 60 pages...
Does time spent on your taxes count as writing fiction? <laughs>.................Wayne ... From: joliesk To: uber_challenge@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, March...
Way too quiet here in Challengeville. I've finished my book (phew) and some of the techniques I've been working on really helped. I was only 3 days late on...
Congrats Jo! I found that writing every day, or at least bothering to open the writing file and stare at it for awhile, increases how much writing I get done ...

Jp. Been meaning to post, but well, it is tax season, and I’m pretty well swamped with work at the moment. However, my critique group started meeting again...
they hated the heroine. ... The current book I'm revising for a requested 'full' by an editor in a contest the heroine was hated by everyone in it's first few...
I had the same problem for my character, too! And I purposefully wrote her as kind of angsty because I don't really care to read about cheerful heroines--makes...
I haven't made much progress on my challenge project. : 0 But I am getting a lot of work done. Once I shove the very very very due book out the door I'll stop...
... and a new story staring Senhor (Mister) Bentley (a character I created) with 100k. Hello, my name is Ágata and I'm a portuguese writer. But not a romance...
It's almost a year. Have you accomplished all you hoped to? Did setting a goal in January help? Hinder? Did the committment fizzle out as life took its...
I thought it was a fabulous idea. It's been a rough year, so I've lost focus more than I'd like to admit to. Next year, I'm going to try this again, and...
My main goal was to FINISH, and I did. I finished a full length ms for the first time in two years. I need to make one more revision pass before shipping it...
I have to admit that I ran out of steam as well. I think as the list got quiet, I just forgot about it ;-( But the first few months proved very educational...
If we did do it again this year, what would you like to see changed? Any ideas about how to keep the momentum going througout the year? Would moderation help,...
I think that would help a lot, Jo. I think that because we are still 'new,' some of us are shy and don't want to start topics etc. But if there's someone...
You know, something as simple as a reminder email "What were your goals for the past month? What are your goals for the coming month?" Something to kickstart...
I'll second what May said, and also add that we know some of you (like you, Jo!) have uber DEADLINES, for real, and we don't want to clog up your inbox with...
Hi All: Deadlines are always a challenge <grin>, and while I was late on a few, I did manage complete two partial romance manuscripts. I'm now in the process ...
I see there are a few who are excited, but by the mail we're generating here, I'm not sure we have 11 volunteers to man a month each, or enough people...
I can man a month, providing I pick it--it's got to be after my finals and before I move half-way around the world. Or, you know, we can start in January...
