Weekly Writing Challenge and Haitus

by

writing-pad.jpgHello and welcome to another weekly writing challenge…or not.

Last week I challenged you to write three hundred words a day in preparation (or simply in challenge if you aren’t participating) for NaNoWriMo. You may have squirmed a bit – I know I did – but that’s less than half of what you have to do for NaNo, which is about 1,667 words a day.

I’m very happy to report that the challenge got me over the 8,000 word mark on my novel. It wasn’t at all easy some days and I didn’t always write the most pristine scenes, but I got it finished.

This week you have no challenge to complete for Fiction Scribe. Why? Because next week both NaNoWriMo and NaBloPoMo start. I feel that will be challenging enough for all the participants, especially those, like me, who are going to try to participate in both.

A few notes about NaNo and NaBlo:

I’m donating one of the prizes for NaBlo this year so sign up for your chance to win!

On Write Anyway I will be posting every day in November with both a NaNo inspiration post and NaBlo inspiration post per day. It could be anything from a report of how I’m doing with either, a dare for you to write into your NaNo, or a question for you to think and write/blog about. Feel free to check in there at any time if you need to get your mind off what you’re doing or get yourself to focus.

Good luck to all participants!
