Writing in Public - Year 1, Month 6, Days 4-10

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

On Monday, I wrote a post for Begin Brewing (742 words), Columbus Beer Scene (998 words), this site (673 words), and the Windows Desktop Administration site (443 words).  I also wrote a journal entry (643 words).  The grand total for that day was 3,499 words.

Tuesday I wrote nothing, not even a journal entry.

Wednesday, I wrote several posts for Columbus Beer Scene (2,296 words) and a long journal entry (1,579 words).  Daily total was 3,875 words.

Thursday, I wrote only a journal entry (1,171 words).

Friday and Saturday, I wrote nothing.

Today, Sunday, I wrote a journal entry (597 words) and some posts for the Windows Desktop Administration site (5,078 words), and this post (125 words) for a total of 5,675 for the day.
