It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished!

Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Go!

Lots of progress on my sewing project.

[cosmolinguist]

I can't sew and wish I could, so I especially admire people who do. :)

Finished the second pass on the second draft of my novel - basically working from 10AM straight through to 8PM, line-editing 162 pages and taking out just short of 3000 words (about half of that being one chapter that went in its entirety, though of course then you have to go through inserting elsewhere all the essential information you just deleted).

Final length (at least for now): 278 pages, 120,700 words against a target of 120,000 and from a start point of 144,000 words, 340 pages

Wow! That sounds terribly satisfying. :)

Still to do (tomorrow) put it into submission format (double spaced, indented paras) and submit it to 'Pitchwars' in the hope of getting someone interested in mentoring me (and the chance of attracting an agent at the end).

Congrats! That's an amazing achievement.

Much progress made in cleaning up the house and getting things ready. Also progress on match-three games.

[cosmolinguist]

Hooray for progress. :)

Went to bed at 9 PM instead of trying to do anything else. Feel MUCH BETTER for it this morning.

[cosmolinguist]

Going to bed early is the best feeling.

I'm feeling so well rested. It's lovely.
