I've passed the 20,000 word mark for JeRoWriMo's 30,000 word challenge for this month. Only 10,000 more words to go. Having a group challenge like this really helps. There have been days when I do not feel like writing, but I push myself and I have managed to type out more words than I thought I could.
Several of the NJ Romance Writers are cheerleaders for the challenge. They respond to every writer's count for the day--whether it's 0 or 4,000--and offer encouragement. There are also tabulators to keep track of everyone's word count. As the old saying goes, "Many hands make light work."
The main thing is that my story is coming together. Of course, it is a rough draft and will need plenty of editing. But there are plenty of words to edit. It is always exciting to see the whole idea coming together.
I love the JeRoWriMo Challenge!
