First two days of #FastDraftFeb…
Day 1: a big fat 0 👍🏽
Day 2: 884 (v bad) words
It’s a start ✌🏽
#writingcommunity #writesky #writersky
I’m a day late to post but I’m doing #FastDraftFeb to increase the words on my WIP and I’ll use this as my accountability thread!
Goal for the month is 17k
I'm gearing up to do #FastDraftFeb again next month as I found it a really fun way of holding myself accountable to write regularly while also keeping the zero draft, it doesn't have to be perfect mentality - anyone want to join me?
If February was #fastdraftfeb then March is #notdraftingmarch
#FastDraftFeb
March 1 Update: 90333!
It's March now, so I guess I should do a wrap-up post. The 110k goal was a long shot, but 15k in a month is pretty good I think! I'm fully in the last stretch of the book now, and I'm hoping to wrap everything up by mid-April.

How did #fastdraftfeb go?
ORIGINAL STATUS: 50K
GOAL: 65K
FINAL WORD COUNT: 70K
I added 20K words to my book this month (1,100 yesterday!), which is huge since I've been struggling to write consistently since October!
NEW GOAL: Finish by end of April
#amwriting #WritingCommmunity
Your girl’s final update for #FastDraftFeb 🥹 it’s been real.
Week 4 I added only 2911 words instead of 5k BUT I still surpassed my goal of 20k words added to #demonwip making my total word count this far: 24,382!
#WritingCommunity
#FastDraftFeb results!
Word count: 78726/90000
Even though I didn't reach my goal, I am happy because I double revised the first 9 chapters, rewrote the 10th, almost finished 11th and I now have almost 9k more words than when I started.
Only 12th chapter and epilogue left 🥳

#WIP
1400 words for Day 27 of #fastdraftfeb yesterday! If I can write just 900 words today, my WIP will be at 70 K AND I'll finish out chapter 21/37! 😁
I do most of my writing late at night (hence why I lag a day), so stay tuned for the final tally!
#amwriting #WritingCommunity
#FastDraftFeb final update: fell short of my goal but still managed to add 11k words to my WIP this month. I count that as a win. Ending month at 52k.
The words "the end" on a word document
#WritingCommunity
Finally finished the 3rd draft of my fantasy WIP🥳🥳🥳 and with 66.3K words
First #FastDraftFeb went well if I do say so myself
My days are either spent negotiating with my toddler or the characters in my WIP. Either way, I’m surrounded by strong-willed personalities and someone is always going off script…

1150 words for Day 26 of #fastdraftfeb!
I spent way too much time puzzling over my own time conversion formulas and checking details from previous scenes, but I finally finished the midpoint! 🥳💃
Now I just have to write the whole second half. 😅
#amwriting #WritingCommunity
Only got in 550 words for #fastdraftfeb yesterday. My 1000 words a day goal might have been too ambitious 😅
BUT I've almost got the midpoint finished, I've hacked through way too many words of notes, AND wrote the first lines for my secret WIP 👀!
#amwriting #WritingCommunity
Hit my 65 K goal for #FastDraftFeb yesterday! 🥳💃
And with 5 days to go, I thought I'd try to get to 70 K, so 1000 words a day. Only did 800 yesterday, but I deleted 12 K words of notes (no one say anything, this book is WAY over outlined 😅), so that counts as a win! ☺️
#amwriting #WritingCommunity
#fastdraftfeb really didn’t work out for me so I guess it’s #manywordsmarch or something next
On Days 24 & 25 of #FastDraftFeb: Only 197 words materialised yday but today saw a solid 976 words.
My poor maths had me thinking I’d already reached my target last week 🤦🏻♀️ So I need to push hard the rest of this week to get those final words down

I gave up on #FastDraftFeb real quick when I made zero progress to even start. Which is no surprise.
But I’m cheering everyone else on in the final days of February to reach those goals! Go go go! You got this!
Got through 1,500 words for Day 23 of #fastdraftfeb yesterday! Probably another 1,000-1,500 to finish out the midpoint, and it's all downhill from there!
I always struggle the most with Act 2A, so I'm really excited to move forward into Act 2B! 🙌
#amwriting #WritingCommunity
Today’s writing goal for #demonwip is 895 words!
It’s the last week of #fastdraftfeb so let’s make it count!
A busy personal and professional week means that the last week of #fastdraftfeb will be a flop, but the first three weeks were fire!
A bit of a late check in for Days 21, 22 & 23 of #FastDraftFeb: As expected, I didn’t manage any words over the weekend!
However, progress this past week: 3,401 words.
My #WIP is definitely taking shape :)
Entering the homestretch of the challenge now. Hope you all reach your goals 👍🏼
#writersky
I did it!!! #fastdraftfeb has been achieved. I got ot 60K #writingcommunity
A good day for Day 22 of #fastdraftfeb yesterday, about 1000 words because my toddler now has the flu and isn't sleeping. 🤦♀️
I'm at about 63,550, so I'm going to make my 65 K goal by the end of the month!
The midpoint is midpointing, y'all! 😁🙌
#amwriting #WritingCommunity
Chapter 10 - finished!
Word count: 75788/90000
Just a bit more work before it is all done 😊

#FastDraftFeb update:
Woke up with a bandaid in my hair and dreams about reading 82k today and blitzing through the latter half of this second part of the book. Almost there and then it's all a Big Mess from down here (positive Big Mess, exciting big mess, stuff I wanna dig into...)
Week 3 is done!
Words Written - 7,208 (my best yet!)
Total WC - 21,477🤭🤭
#FastDraftFeb
#fastdraftfeb i might not have made it to 60K as I'd hoped today but I did get to 58.4K which is still something.
