From the other day...

500 words: DONE
Roll: 6, 9, 6, 3, 6

(4 more tries....)

800 words:
Roll: 6, 6, 5, 10, 7, 4, 6, 8

I EVEN WENT OVER MY 50 TRIES.
Rolling a 12 can't be done. The ultimate evil defeated me but I am MOVING ON lol


I worked on three projects during this crawl... so to add everything up it was:
*1476 words of the new L+Z
*5534 words of the new version of When I Was Anna
*7477 words of the new draft of Dark Corners Bright Spaces

For a grand total of: 14,487 words
*that seemed high so I went back and added up my 100 words sprints and go to 12,700 words. but my word counts don't lie so that means I missed some 100 words and some dice rolls in there.
17 rolls to be exact!

So I will roll 17 more times real quick just so see if I hAPPEN to roll a 12 lol:
6, 8, 6
5, 11, 8
9, 4, 12

WHATTTTT
AND WITH 5 ROLLS TO SPARE

(I will take off 587 words from my total words written from the crawl since I guess I rolled a 12 before I needed all the rolls for that final 1700 words. does that make sense? it does to me)

13,900 words written!!!!!

6am, if I roll an even number I wake up on time, if I don't roll an even number I don't wake up on time. I rolled a 1
I have to write 250 words in 5 minutes: DONE (but I only wrote 158 so

Taking a quick break from Dark Corners because I don't have the mental acuity to do revisions before my wedding next month. Skipping on over to When I Was Anna again to keep working on the new version of this story. It feels like a first draft since it's a total rewrite so it doesn't feel as daunting as my Dark Corners stuff I guess....
Anna currently sits at 5534 words.


Since I failed to write those 82 to words in 40 seconds, I have an argument with Taylor and have to write 250 words: DONE

6:35, it's time to order breakfast at Luke's. I choose between eggs & bacon, french toast, or only coffee. I know what Lorelai would choose, but you know what FRENCH TOAST FOR ME. Which means I need to sprint for 10 minutes and write 400 words: DONE

7:00, I get to work at the Independence and plan the day with Sookie. I have to write 1000 words in 30 minutes: 510

Okay I can write again now that I no longer need to think about my wedding :)

I didn't hit that sprint goal so I have to write for 10 minutes: DONE

8:00, I was having a great morning until I got a call from my mother. I'll answer, so I have to sprint for six minutes while I try to get out of having a full conversation: DONE

Not sure how this is going to go because at the moment I'm doing more medium and small level revising rather than lots of rewriting so I might modify some of the challenges, we'll see.

11:00, Sookie wants me to taste a new recipe of hers before she serves it. I have to write 600 words in 15 minutes and if I fail I have to keep trying until I hit 1500 words. Uhhhhhhhhh. I think because I'm REVISING and cutting words and adding some words, I'll eliminate the time limit and write 600 NEW words: DONE

12:00, time for my lunch break. I have to write to the nearest 1000: DONE

1:00, I'm out of coffee! I have to sprint for 3 minutes then rest for 2: DONE
then sprint for 4 minutes and rest for 2: DONE
then sprint for 5 minutes and rest for 2: DONE2

2:00, a window broke at the inn. Should I call a handyman or call Kirk. I think a handyman is safer, so I have to sprint 150 words: DONE

4:00, I have to head to business school for my night class. I have to sprint 1000 words in 30 minutes: didn't make it

since I didn't make it, I have to sprint for 15 more minutes: DONE

7:00, it's my not so favorite part of the week. Friday Night Dinner. I'm going to suck it up and go and try to have a positive attitude, so I have to sprint 300 words in 10 minutes: DONE, and I surpassed 300 so I don't have to do an extra sprint!

10:00, finally it's time to relax and watch some TV. I have to sprint to the nearest 1000 (751 words): DONE


GILMORE GIRLS CRAWL COMPLETE: 5266 words written!!
Oh wait! I forgot I took a little Anna interlude in there. So 5266 words of Dark Corners and 1171 words of When I Was Anna, for a grand total of 6437 words written!
