Mid-year check-in

Oh, I know...I know. Nothing much is happening on this blog. I can report that I stumbled across Jenn again - it's always great to chat to that lady! But Winter is still floating somewhere in the ether. I still hold out hope that she will return to us someday soon. But I'm pretty sure she's busy with her last year of school, or her first year of college. I can't remember which it would be by now...

Anyway...it's the middle of the year! I don't suppose that comes as news to anyone, but it does surprise me just a little. How is everyone going with their creative/other goals for the year? For me, it's been necessary to accept that I can't always be perfect and achieve all my goals 100% of the time. But I am still getting stuff done, and I'm enjoying (almost) every minute of it.

In other news, I turn 32 tomorrow (July 25th...this blog post will be posted on July 23rd, but in Australia it's actually July 24th right now)! It's a mid-week birthday, not ideal, but I will still be enjoying a birthday dinner at mama's house, with other family around. That lady is too good to me!

Hope all of you are doing well! Tell me how you're going with your "stuff" so far this year!

Halfway Point: Status Report!

Hey guys. Thought I would put this out there, since we are at the halfway point. I want to know how many stories you've written for Chrysalis so far, even if you haven't finished 'em yet. I want to know your total Chrysalis wordcount, if you've uncovered any unexpected novels in your Chrysalis stash, or if you've completely crashed 'n burned and given up.

On that last note, Don't Give Up! Stick with us, why don't ya? Don't worry about the stuff you haven't written. Just look forward, to the next half of the year, and all the prompts that will be coming your way!! Stick with us, because...just like L'oreal...we ARE worth it. Hehe.

We've got some fun plans for what we're going to do AFTER Chrysalis, as in what we're gonna do with our stories, and your stories too if you're interested. We also have a sparkly badge for anyone who manages to get through this Experiment in one piece. Now if that ain't enticement, I don't know WHAT is. Hehe.

But without further ado...my status report for the year so far.

Stories started: 26

Stories finished: Um...argh. Will count this later. hehe

Words written: 69,007 (according to Scrivener anyway)

Potential novels started: um...3? 4? 5?

Stories happy with: Maybe...a third? Half, if I'm lucky? Hehe.

Number of times story wasn't written by Friday: Lost count by now...

Okay, so I wasn't too scientific with that, but this was an off the cuff blog post idea, so I've got an excuse. :P Anyway...I want to hear from you guys about how you're doing so far!
