    Going for the brass ring, today. Let's see if I can reach the 5k marker.


    Wouldn't be a challenge if I just keep going after the easy fruit, right?

    I'll try 500 words. Just started my fic up, so I'm still getting a feel for how much to write every day.

    GMT is currently 12:20 pm (re: a bit after noon).

    -5 would be 7:20 am (re: US Central Time)

    10 pm US Central Time (re: 14 hours and 40 minutes from this post) is when this is calced up.

    *New* Starting on Sunday if you complete a challenge every day for a week (7 days) you will receive a special banner for your dedication! This banner only lasts a week however, so if you want to keep it around you'll have to keep meeting challenges!

    5k challenge complete! At 5100 and counting. Probably 6k when complete. The Brass Ring is mine, bitches!

    Don't expect to see that happening very often. *Whew*. Think I'm dialing back to a leisurely 3k mark for the next few. I'll decide later.

    Hmm.

    Coming into this too late to get much done tonight, plus I have sysadmin to do. But I'll sign up for 1,000 words by tomorrow evening.

    There should be a spoiler listing who's achieved what goals in the past. Especially for the high number achievements.

    Not a bad idea at all. I added one to the front page and I'll go through and add everyone to it. Will also reorganize a bit.

    Doesn't like the previous scene, so deleting everything then salvaged 209 words and transplant it to the next scene. The rewrite ends at 934 words, instead.

    Will probably do more rewrite, but eh. Anyway. Next pledge is 300 words - I may want to visit Blitar tomorrow, so won't have much time to write. But well, as long as I keep writing, right?

    I have noticed that my daily productivity has risen when I actually make a pledge, and by a few hundred words as well. How interesting, it seems to be.
    Perhaps I should seriously consider in doing more challenges. Hmm.
