Talking Shop: Eric's Writing Update 9

Okay, so this week's update is happening more or less on time. 

Let's start out with the writing challenge. To date, I've churned out approximately 47,400 words toward the writing challenge goal of 87,500. That puts me around 54% of the way toward the goal line. I wrote around 5100 words last week. For the math types, that an average of a little over 728 word per day.

On to Rinn's Run.

Total words completed: approximately 55,750.

Chapters Completed: 28 (almost 29)

Percentage complete (theoretical): 56%

This last week was kinder to me physically than the two before that. You can likely see the evidence of that in the nearly doubled word count for the week. One of the upsides of committing to a daily or close to daily writing schedule with even a minimum word count like 500 words is that it makes it much, much easier to get to back into the swing of things when life eases up on you.
