I managed to write just over 1000 words on the Halloween fic (whoops). I've been doing
mini_wrimo which means I've signed up to do 250 words per day. I haven't managed to stick to that but it has meant that I am writing something every day, even if it's just journalling and I am determined that this story will get finished.
Passing the daily count challenge to
cmk418 and wishing you a productive end to the week!
