#writemotivation & Competition Success

Two pieces of success for me, and afterwards I will ask for your successes of the week.

Firstly, my goal for this month's #writemotivation was to write 25000 words and am currently standing  at 30000 thanks to the Fast Drafting I have been doing. Woo! I will write a post about Fast Draft when I have finished it telling you all how I found it.

How is everyone's #writemotivation going?

Secondly I entered a competition in a local book festival to write a piece of flash fiction. I am one of 12 finalists and I have to go read it out at an event where people vote for the winner! It will just be exciting to be part of it, and it's nice to have a wee boost like that.

What are your successes of the week? Get that difficult chapter done? Finally tidy the front room? :) Let me know!

  2. Oh wonderful news, congratulations. I hope you enjoy reading it to an audience. Let us know how it goes. It certainly is a confidence booster isn't it? All I've managed this week is a little editing on one of my Birthstone Unicorn stories but I'm happier with it.

    As for my own successes, I'm just chugging along on the self-publishing trail ticking off things until October 8th gets here then BAM! The big day will be here.
