Writing in Public - Year 1, Month 7, Days 15-21

Michael Salsbury

My adoption of Dean Wesley Smith's Writing in Public challenge continues.

Last week I managed just over 10,000 words.  The previous week it was over 11,000.

On Monday, I wrote a journal entry (457 words) and two posts for the Windows Desktop Administration blog (691 and 1026 words).  I also wrote a chunk of the ASL Revenant story (960 words).

Tuesday, I wrote more on the Revenant story (1560 words) and a journal entry (390 words).

Wednesday through Saturday, nothing was written.

Sunday I wrote another section of the Revenant story (511 words) and this post (82 words).
