Daily Count Challenge to agdhani.

[itsanonyx.livejournal.com]

I didn't do anything creative yesterday, honestly. :o(

First I had almost 4 hours of online education that needed to be finished until June 30. I did this yesterday because my vacation started on Friday and I don't get vacation money for Saturdays or Sundays. So instead of wasting one vacation day on work education I did this yesterday.

Then I was pretty busy with watching videos on TikTok. :D (Most of them were actually not that fun. But it was nice to actually learn new things about James Cameron and/or anything relative to submersible or sea animals. [Glad some of the animals are at the bottom of the ocean. O.O I would die!])

And then it was "Indiana Jones 3" in TV. :o)

I got some arts done on Saturday, still. But not yesterday. But I still call yesterday an okay-day. :o)


I'm passing the torch to agdhani. Good luck and have fun. <3

Just Write July!!

Comment here and we'll put you on the list! It's as simple as stepping up when your name is called and doing your utmost to meet your own daily word count (whatever that may be). When you finish, write a small bragging post and call up the next contestant!

Be accountable for one day!

Big Buddy July!

[kaige68.livejournal.com]

Comment here with the count you can reach in the month (remember to factor in holidays, finals, road trips, pajama days, hangovers, etc). I will check in with you once a week to make sure you are on schedule, to push you if you aren't, and to shake pompoms at you if you are (Well, I'll probably shake pompoms at you either way).

Your count is up to you. There is no minimum beyond what you decide. But Big Buddy will be watching you! If you pledge 100 words/images, then every Monday chime in to tell us that you are up to snuff.

This is not words to be done in lieu of something else. If you have a bingo, or a big bang, or a drabble-a-day, it all counts! Words/images do not have to be posted to count, they just have to be done!

after some tweaking over the weekend, I got in an hour and a half today that brought me nearly back to where I left off.
However, after only about 3 hours of sleep last night and a busy day at work, my brain's mush now
backrose_17 take it away for Tuesday. Good luck!
