I managed just slightly over 1,800 words this morning which, between my lack of Muses lately and the fact that this is a work day, I'm definitely calling a success even despite, due to having to get ready for work and some minor computer errors, I'm going to have to try to get them posted later! Thanks to our wonderful haldoor for the tip off and . . . get ready to create, erinm_4600! I'm calling you out next, my dear! Best of luck, as always!

August Rush: Weekly Round-Up (Week 1)

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

Hey everyone! You should check out the links below if you're not taking part in August Rush! We have some fantastic work going on! And if you're playing already, you are doing great!

This year's round-up is formatted slightly differently from previous years in that I have linked you back to the five days previous, wherein you will find the comments with each participant's link to their creation (or in fact the creation itself in some cases) for you to follow. I'm afraid I haven't got time to be more precise this year as August is turning into a bit of a crazy month for me, so I hope you'll forgive me. I haven't added up the total words to date either but I promise to do it at the end of the month for sure so you can see what fantastic results we get!

( Now to the links! )

And that's where we're at! You are all doing so well! And don't forget that for those of you who aren't up to date, that's okay - you can still link back to the day/s you create for at any time during the month, or just link us in any one of the Weekly Round-Up posts!

You'll still get credit for anything you make this month as long as you post by the 31st, for ANY day/s you complete. So what are you waiting for - get creating! ;-)
