Most of us have lives. Well, all of us do. 
Some lives are more hectic than others, but we all have things we should be doing. And things we shouldn’t. (Like me, typing this at work, looking over my shoulder the entire time. *cough*)
Anyway, I joined the SoCNoC Challenge after Valerie mentioned it.
I won.
Well. I mean, I got the wordcount. I’m not done yet.
It was 50k in June, and I did that, and then some. That leaves pretty much no time for other things.
On the upside, I nearly got the end in sight. (Well, another 20k and I will.) On the downside… This is book 5 or 6 in a series… and I kind of don’t have the others written yet! Eek.
At the same time, I’m trying to come up with a pen name. That’s been proving frought with strife. I cannot seem to make up my mind. Erk.
Another thing I’ve been doing… I’ve played “Mommy” to dragon eggs.
*blush*
These my current eggs: (They might be hatchlings, or adults by the time you see this.)
And here you can see all the ones I “grew”: http://dragcave.ath.cx/user/53176
So that’s my progress — what’s yours?
Ever joined a challenge? How did it go for you?
I keep signing up for challenges then fail, miserably. The worst for me was last fall when I tried to do both Sweating with Sven and NaNoWriMo at the same time. I got about a day into that madness when writer’s block hit and I didn’t write another word for a month.
I signed up for SocNoc, and I’ve written about 4000 words for that one.
Silly thing is, I keep signing up for these things knowing full well I won’t produce a decent word count.
