We all more than doubled it without even trying! *koala wave for all of us*<BR/><BR/>Down to the nitty gritty (does it seem like I'm working this out as I'm going along? No, no, really, I had the whole thing worked out precisely from the start...). Robin, I want 100 words altered in some way - even if it's a section in which you end up just changing a bit, I'll count that. Not reading, though. The idea is to at least write or edit 100 words. But sounds like you did heaps anyway!<BR/><BR/>As for reporting in, either put it at the top of a post on your blog or come here if that's easier. I'm considering plonking a 'sticky' at the top of my blog and I'll just change the total every day, or record my day off. Either way, I know where to find you for any fruit-throwing that may become necessary...McKoalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01457446171624585099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20015448.post-13067622927827502692009-01-17T15:10:00.000-08:002009-01-17T15:10:00.000-08:00OK, I just edited several scenes with mini-changes...OK, I just edited several scenes with mini-changes. I'd say I looked over roughly 1500 words, but only actively changed a few hundred. <BR/><BR/>McK, how do you want us to do this. Give you a final count the next morning (UK or US time)? Because when I write, I'm on and off all day - write a few hours - run an errand - write- run Blondster somewhere - write -- well, you get it.<BR/><BR/>Looks like you had a good day!Robin B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11471528485010071521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20015448.post-22250697658060724262009-01-17T12:45:00.000-08:002009-01-17T12:45:00.000-08:00Ok.

Don't have the time unfortunately. I get to do my writing in one big chunk once or twice a week.<BR/><BR/>Good to see you guys getting together on this.

In that case, I'm SO in, girl.<BR/><BR/>But I'm going to be writing transitions, rewriting a few key scenes, and then reading through, making editing notes on, my entire novel. Not sure how to count all of this, other than the actual scene rewrites?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm in, and I'm off to write now. I'll check in later to find out how to count my words.<BR/><BR/>Cool to do this in a group, and alone at the same time!Robin B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11471528485010071521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20015448.post-77429209812633201332009-01-17T04:55:00.000-08:002009-01-17T04:55:00.000-08:00483.
