Today: 2,102
Total: 3,026
Outlook: Both excited and overwhelmed.  I'm glad I actually hit my goal today, even though it took me like all day and I doubt what I've written will surivie past the first edit.  But I also am realizing that this might be a bit harder then expected if I can't figure out some way of ignoring my distractions.  Anyone have any suggestions for ways for an ADHD person to ignore the distractions?

I do a couple of things.  One:  I reward myself when I hit my goal for the day.  Two:  When my thoughts scatter and i can't really rein them in.  I stop fighting it and take a break for a couple a minutes.  This seems to help so far, but it's only been 4 days.  Oh, and I've made out a schedule to help keep me on track.  Which I've kept so far:  6,666 for the day, cheers!

Sweeet! I think it's actually you who needs to prod me and not the other way around. I was sick sick yesterday and am behind. I have about 1000 more words before I reach my goal for the day. I think I'll get there, though, before I go to bed. /crosses fingers

Wow, I had 4102 after day 2 but then I skipped a few days. Those skipped days can really hurt you. Day 5 I wrote 3003 words, so I'm only 1500 words behind?

Day1:1737  :)                  Day2:2365  :D             Day 3:0     :-[          Day 4:0    ???             Day 5:3003     ;D

I have trouble believing I've kept up with this for six days already.  I guess competition is a really good motivator for me. I'm up to 10775 words.

Phew. Got my quota in for the day.

Everyone should at least be to 10,000 if they are doing the minimum each day. 1/5 of the way there :D

Ouch... my brain hurts now.  I didn't write yesterday because I was insanely busy, so I wrote it all today.  And then I was a bit behind where I should be, so I made that up as well.  But I can't complain too much because I am feeling really proud of myself at the moment for catching up.  Now I just have to hope I don't fall behind again.

Wow, that was freaking hard to get done today.  I'm discovering that I have no problem when I'm writing one of the major events, but when it comes to in between filler type stuff I'm having a hard time.
