***100 Words (Twelve) Endings and beginnings***

So how do I feel about my first blogging marathon? Not much. No, let me take that back. I’m pleased with it. I set out and accomplished a specific goal. Fate was also kind enough (?) to hurl some significant obstacles: specifically, lots of work in my direction. But I paced myself and did find time to write a minimum of a hundred words every hour over a twelve hour time period. On a sad note, I won’t be able to easily use time as an excuse not to write.

Will I try this exercise again? Most likely. I’m already debating about trying such an exercise this coming weekend, maybe posting between writing sessions on Saturday. I’m also debating about increasing the wordcount to 250 words an hour. Writers will immediately recognize such a goal as a “page” and total twelve pages (minimum).

We’ll see. Now it’s time to get back to writing. Peace.

  • well, you can always up it to 1000 words, and just post pictures.. as that cliche goes.... good job! sorry, I didn't get your note until I got in, so I missed the hourly action. :)

  • Congratulations Joel.:)!!! You set some writing goals and stuck to them. Here is an idea for next time: Throw together some quick fiction ideas. A character, a plot or a setting without too much thought. Just think on 'paper' until you reach 100 words.
