Several of us have said we want to continue after the 100 days is over, but there may be a break, and it will continue in June or July. <br />One person has created a spreadsheet for us to record our daily totals which is great, as you can see the words adding up. I've done 52,532 since Jan 1st (and we're only on the 49th day today!). So even when the challenge ends, I may create my own spreadsheet. <br />Of course, once I've done the first draft of my novel I'll be revising and editing, so my word count will go down, but one side effect is that I've done far more on my blog since January!

I think the only thing that kept me going was the thought of revising and editing it all once the month was over. It took me about six months more to do that, but 'Dream of Paris' was published this month!<br />I frequently wonder I still do it, prticularly when the royalty statements arrive, and I see how few of my books have actually been bought! But I suppose we keep doing it because we can't NOT do it! That's the only explanation I can give anyhow! Paula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.com
