    Kris’s New Writing Challenge…

    Starts Tomorrow (Wednesday) Runs from August 15th to September 30th. Every night those signed up get a letter from Kris talking about her day and writing and reporting her word count.  Turns out it is great fun to follow along and I live here. (grin) Kris is doing these to stay focused on her writing as we wade through a bunch of crap in the business and since this is the third one, she says they are working. From her word count in the one ending today, I would say so. If you sign up for the $300 fee and can’t match her word count, you get the $300 in…

    Kris New Writing Challenge

    Kris New Writing Challenge Starts August 15th… And runs through September 30th. The one she is doing now ends on the 14th, just a few days away. Every night she talks about her day writing or not writing as the case may be in an email to everyone signed up. And if you don’t match her word count, you get what you paid in credit and if you beat her word count, you get double that amount in credit. (Lifetime Everything Subscribers, write me for the code.) I find it interesting to read her posts every night and I live with her. So motivational, fun, and learning. Don’t miss signing…

    To Be Clear On A Couple of Things…

    I Got Questions From Writers… In the Sprint Writing challenge with Kris, yes she will report in to those in the challenge every day about what her writing day was like and how much she got done. SHE NEVER DOES THIS NORMALLY!! I live with her and I don’t have a clue what happens in that office when she is writing. So this is stunning and should be a real learning experience for all of us. If you are not in the challenge, there is no way to get these reports or even how many words she wrote. If you are in the challenge, you only report in once to…
