it’s totally time to get back on this train!
Summer saps all my energy and strength and ability to think. It’s the worst time of my year and depression hits me hard, no matter how I try to force myself out of it, I just sink deep into the darkness until late-July. Once August comes around, I’m moving again,forward, rather than downward, and I’m filled with determination and motivation and I’m ready to go! So, that’s what I’m going to do!
If you’d like to join in, I’d love to have you along. Just keep track of your word count throughout the weekend… Today through Sunday at 7pm, then come back and post how far you got. The goal is 10K words, but if you don’t hit that, no sweat because the purpose is to get writing…
Ready? Set? Write!

The weeks are going by faster and faster. It’s a wonder anything gets done at all. Especially this week. It was my birthday Monday and I didn’t do anything. My son came down with the flu this morning and it’s been a little rough. Hopefully, he’ll be better in the next few days.
I spent today working with pencil and paper and I’m always surprised how it helps the thoughts come out a little different. I’m always surprised by how much I can write when I do so on paper. I also wrote a bit in Evernote, one of my favorite note taking applications.
But there are more words to write and I’ll be getting to those in this weekend. If you’d like to join, please add your name to the Linky at the bottom of the post and join me. It’s usually only me doing this. It hasn’t taken off as much as I’d hoped it would, but it’s been keeping me on task and if that’s all it ever does, then that’s enough.
My project this weekend is Bearing The Ink with perhaps some words on a couple of other projects that will be coming in the next few months.
So, if anyone does in fact join in, the hashtag is #10KWeekendsForWriters and the writing weekend ends at 10pm Sunday night! Best of luck!
