October Writing Challenge

Shannon Delany (author of 13 to Life series) is starting the October Writing Challenge tomorrow. I'm in. I'm trying to hit 1,000 words a day the entire month (for a total of 31,000 words). In the 6 years I've been teaching, I've NEVER been able to hit 1,000 words a day or even 10,000 words a month (during the school year) so this will be a huge task but it's worth attempting. I'll be working on he third book in The Atlantis Revolution and if I meet the goal, I'll be nearly halfway finished with the book by the end of October. I'll keep you updated on the progress (hopefully each day). The first day I'm able to double the goal and hit 2,000 words in a day, I'll celebrate by releasing the title of third book. That's incentive for me because I really want to share the title and incentive for you to encourage me!
