My bud, Dianna Shuford, is still my guest blogger over on FAITH through this weekend. If you haven’t gone over, drop by and say hi. You’ll be entered to win a $25 Office store gift card and I’ll announce the winner on Faith on Sunday. The address: http://www.thefaithgirls.com.
Now, I mentioned a duel in my title. You see, Dianna has challenged me to a writing duel this weekend. I accept the challenge! This morning I logged in about 500 words.
Here in Georgia, it’s a beautiful fall day and I won’t be home for long. I need a little competitive spirit to join in this duel and see how many words we can get through this weekend. Are you in?
Since I last posted, my word count is 3,207. My stated goal, 80,000.
Good luck!

8,000 for the weekend? Ok. I'll hold you to that one. Hold on to your hat. I getting started writing now. Or should I say revising and adding words as I go? I'm short 20,000 for the full that was requested. Yes, a challenge is exactly what's needed to prod us all along.

Oops, no, I just updated that. Just a reminder 80k is my total goal. Maybe for this weekend, I can reach 2000 total words?!
Oh, I thought I was seeing things. Hehe. 8,000 for the weekend sounds good though, huh?I posted the challenge write-off on Facebook for any who want to join.

Can't wait to see who wins! Although if you both get in a ton of words, you'll both win 🙂 I'm still going strong at 1k per day, although yesterday I had to push hard for those words 🙂 They didn't come when they were supposed to, but then flooded in later on 🙂 So that ended well 🙂 I'm now over 17 000! About 1/4 of the book :)Christy, you asked earlier if I work, yes I do. Lucky me though I work from home. I am also homeschooling my daughter. So very busy always 🙂 I wish constantly for there to be more hours in a day!Good luck ladies! I'll check in later to see who won :)P.S. Sorry about the deleted comment that was me.
Okay, Christy, I've managed to add about 200 words to my manu. Actually, I've cut quite a bit, but I didn't count how many I cut so I probably wrote more than 200. I also wrote about 850 words on a hero's journey example for a friend? Do those count? Anyway, I'm getting ready to move on to chapter 9 for revisions. I'll let you know if I add anymore words.Eva- girl, I'm proud of you. You keep going. And, homeschooling is tough. I homeschooled my three for 10 yrs. before going back to work. So kudos to you!! I couldn't manage to write when I homeschooled.

Ladies—I wasn't really home this weekend much–but I'm glad you guys were dueling! I'll duel with you this week, because last week I think I logged less than 300 words? And no real good excuses except I slept late.Keep it going–write, write, write. 🙂
