Goal = 2400 words
Actual - 1680 words
I forgot to take Motrin before I started to type. If I want to have wrists available to do work I'm actually paid for I've got to pack it in tonight.
I really feel pretty good about that word count today, even if it did fall short of my goal. I managed to put it together in about an hour and forty-five minutes.
Going to ice my hands now.

Book in a Month - Day 3
Goal = 2400 words
Actual - 3235 words
Made up for the shortfall entirely and have 750+ words in the bank. Had to force myself to go for a walk as I spent 7 hours out of 12 working on this.
Tomorrow will be the big test. I've got to fit 2400 words into a day that includes 9 hours of work and travel time.

Book in a Month Contract
I, Lori Varrin Kidwell, agree to follow the steps of the 30-day Book in a Month system.
I will make the necessary changes in my life to accommodate this goal, and I will ask family, friends, and my fellow writers for help when I need it. I will organize my time well so I can do this, and I will set aside all non-essential tasks so I have time to achieve my goal.
I will work on my book 6 days a week (if I miss a day, I'll just keep going). I will complete 260 pages and get to the end. No matter what happens during these 30 days, I will just keep writing.
"I don't have the time" is not a good enough excuse for the next 30 days.
I promise myself that I will celebrate when 30 days are up, even if I only meet 75% of my goal. I will tell my family and friends to get ready for this celebration in Week 3, to further motivate myself. (It also helps that my 30 days ends the day before Vancouver Pride!)
This book is important to me. My future readers are waiting to read it and I owe it to them to finish it. What I have to say is important.
