As for ROW80, things are going pretty well at the moment. I finished the outline for Queen of Peace, the urban fantasy I’m writing in the last two months of the challenge. I probably won’t be able to complete the draft by September 22; I expect it might turn out around 60,000 words. My original goal was 40,000, but I thought I’d get started a bit sooner. Revisions to Tribute took longer than I anticipated, and I know I’ll spend more time on it when beta comments start rolling in, and on publication day!!
If I write 5,000 words on Queen of Peace each week, I can still make my goal of 40,000. And maybe I can sneak in a little extra. Yesterday I was totally sneaky and wrote on the iPad, getting in a few minutes here and there while the family played around me. Wrote the first scene: 1,166 words! Today my darling husband plans to take the kids out for a couple of hours so I can get some quiet time. Can I hit 3,000 for the weekend?
I hope you do. Best of luck today. 🙂
Your cover is awesome. I love the colors and the font; everything works together and creates a really strong fantasy vibe. Good luck with the word count goals!
Great cover – love the colors. Kind of mysterious. Glad to hear you are finding ways to sneak in a some writing. Such a wonderful husband too – doing some daddy time with the kids so you can write. Keeping fingers crossed for the 3000 this weekend. Happy writing!
I love, love, love this cover! It’s really awesome.
I’m enjoying Tribute. 😉
Thanks for the positive feedback on the cover.
I hit 2,700 for the weekend! Must stop there and get some housework done before Monday hits. 🙂
Great job on the word count. What a lovely husband–mine helps me a lot, too, to my eternal gratitude. I love the cover, too, the font and color are just perfect together.
Hope you have a great week!

Congrats! Sounds like it’s going well! I was working with daily goals last week but I realized I need to do weekly goals instead. That will let me have more flexibility in my writing schedule.
Yay! Love the boldness of the cover. And I have a feeling those 3000 words will become story by Monday 😉
