25k Writing Challenge Update

§ December 29th, 2011 § Filed under Personal Development § Tagged , , , , § No Comments

So I am back from my holiday sojourn to the South Okanagan and as feardicted my writing output for this challenge was nil, although I did get a very good slice of research done. Now, here I am down to the last three days (also secretly feardicted) with a not insurmountable, yet somewhat mammoth hump to climb in order to reach the keystroke mountaintop. Nevertheless, I press on, the rare brew pot in lieu of tea pouring hot down my gullet, mixed with spirit steeling cocoa powder and coconut cream…

P.s: The graphs will be back when I finish my first significant writing task for the day.

This Month’s Project Tally (UPDATED Dec 30th LATE) :

  • 20 articles
  • 2 blog posts
  • 10 social bookmarks
  • 20 e-book pages

Today’s Projects:

  • 2 or 3 articles
  • 1 blog post
  • Undetermined amount of e-book pages (more than zero).
  • About 4200 words (which is about my best Nano day output this year, I think). I only need 3800 words per day to win, but I am assuming I will be preoccupied with end of the year activities at some point that will cut into writing time.

Percentage of minimum writing pace!

19884 / 23400 (84.97%)

(note: I just deducted two days writing from 25k for this total, so I have eliminated the 600 word buffer that was included in the previous totals).

Overall progress:

19884 / 25000 (79.53%)

UPDATE DEC 29th late: I finished with fewer than 2200 words today, so it looks as though I will have my work cut out for me. I will have to do over 4700 words on Friday and Saturday in order to win the 25000 Non-fiction Writing Challenge. I still believe that it is very possible, since I have gotten close to this number with much less number during Nanowrimo, but it will be ultra-grindmatic.
