750Words - A Year Later

Yup, last night I reached 365 days of writing on 750words.com. There were two snags along the way. One night in February I had an internet outage. I wrote my words in Notepad, and waited and waited until midnight for the internet to come back on. It didn't. But I wrote the words, and Buster agreed to restore my streak. The next glitch came earlier this month when the website wasn't saving more than 749 words for many people. Again, I wrote the words and saved them in a text file, but had to have Buster restore my streak.

I've mostly been writing journal entries, but some of it is fiction. Very bad fiction that is steam-of-consciousness and would need about 20 more drafts to be readable. But it's fun to write. I don't think I'm ready for NaNoWriMo, but I'm getting some stuff written. And enjoying myself besides.

So, here's to the next year!

I'm at 92 days now. Yeah, I hear all about the stream of consciousness fiction, that is what most of my stuff is. I'd love to get any of it readable. But I barely have the time to write the 750 words each night. Maybe I will get more time later.
