#PilcrowChallenge
End of month update on the #PilcrowChallenge (where you have to write at least one new paragraph every day). I wrote 27 of the 30 days in September (ninety percent!) and kept writing after that first paragraph almost every day, averaging 426 words a day overall.

Intermittent #PilcrowChallenge Update: September is finished, and ahead of schedule!

The last sentence that got me to my word count goal for the month? “That is a neat trick.”

Intermittent #PilcrowChallenge Update:
Okay, other than Saturdays, writing at least a paragraph every day is going great. Unfortunately, there are several Saturdays this month.

Intermittent update on the #PilcrowChallenge: I missed a day and killed my little streak, but I had a great writing day today and turned in just over 2k words in a sitting. (“That still only counts as one!” - Gimli)

Intermittent update on the #PilcrowChallenge: ten writing days out of eleven days, and ahead of pace. Jumping around and working on the ending for a bit.

It’s the first day of a brand new #PilcrowChallenge!
Write at least one new paragraph every day!

225 words over lunch on my short untitled start-to-write guide for school-aged children. Might sneak in some fiction after the kids’ bedtime.
