Writing in Public - Year 1, Month 9, Days 24-31

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

My performance in August was the worst of the entire challenge.  My total word count for the month was 13,530 words - an average of 436.5 per day for the entire month.

I could certainly make excuses.  My wife was injured and needed my help for a while.  Things at work were unusually busy, and I put in a lot of extra hours.  Ultimately, though, I just didn't motivate myself to write.

So below is how everything worked out for August 2015.
