#Project August Check-in #2

This check-in was supposed to happen last night, but since I was at Kallie George & Luke Spence Byrd’s #ProjectAugust event [getting married!], I know you’ll forgive a late check in.

So. Here we are. How’s it going, anyway? I’ve heard from a few people who actually finished this week’s challenge a bit early — good on ya all! My week’s been full of meetings and goings-on, so I’m struggling a little with my early goals. Not doing too badly, but not surging ahead like some!

Here’s the most important part — if you did make your goal for this week, PLEASE let me know, by tweet or comment or email, ’cause I’m adding books to the box I’ll be sending to Bella Bella in YOUR name if you succeeded. I like the idea of meeting our own goals also having a direct benefit to someone else!

And in that spirit, here’s the mini-goal for this week…set your #ProjectAugust goal for the week, write it down and send it to me by tweet or email or comment below, and for every goal met, I will add $10 cash to the library-building fund in Bella Bella. And further to that, if you bring in a friend to join #ProjectAugust, I’ll add $10 for them, too. Spread the word on this, will ya? I’d like to help these people out — they lost ALL their books!

The beauty of #ProjectAugust is that you can join in any time…pick a project and join us in motivating each other to get it done. By the end of the month, I know I’m going to hear about a tonne of completed manuscripts, cleaned-out rooms and renovations all wrapped up and finished. Each milestone will be marked with a book to YOU, plus a growing collection of books and donations for the recently burned Bella Bella library…everybody wins!

Now it’s check-in time, so sing out…! How are YOU doing with #ProjectAugust? Did you make your goal for this week? What’s your new goal for next week? How many books can we add to the Bella Bella box?

For those who want to join in now, please do! Details are HERE — it’s easy and fun, and you’ll be glad you did! 

 

More soon…

  1. Oops, I marked today on the calendar for check-in. So, based on my totals yesterday, I didn't quite make it. 11,451 words and two stories polished but not submitted. I went past the 12,000 word mark today and I am submitting the stories tonight. My goal this week – check in Sat.? – is 2,000 words a day Mon-Fri…so, 10,000 words. And my office desk cleaned off.Katherine

  2. I posted a reply, but I expect I goofed up sending it.In a nutshell – I didn't quite make my goal by the cut-off. I was just shy of 12,000 words and I polished two short stories but didn't submit until Sunday night.My goal this week is to just make it through the week without imploding!Katherine
