Say that three times fast.
Yes, it is time for the 70 Days Of Sweat Round II. If you’re up for a writing challenge, have a deadline, are working toward a writing goal, need a kick in the pants or just like the idea of working in a group to accomplish something, then this idea is for you. For Round I, a group of us got together and came up with an idea to keep each other motivated as we worked under looming deadlines. For Round II, we picked up a few more sponsors. The ladies running the show this time around, including me, are:
Alison Kent, Jo Leigh, Larissa Ione, Stephanie Tyler, Shiloh Walker, Lauren Dane, Diana Peterfreund, Jaci Burton, and Portia Da Costa.
The rules are the same. Check out the website for those details. There are weekly page count check-ins but don’t let that part scare you. The goal is to get you writing, keep you writing and provide some motivation along the way. To help with that, the sponsors will stop in on websites and blogs to say hello and celebrate our joint progress.
I could give you a long explanation on why you should sign up and what you could get out of this, but it all comes down to this: why not? Really, why would you not just try it? You’ve got everything to win and nothing to lose. It’s that simple.
So, go sign up. Like, now.

I’ve just opened my WIP and am starting!
Okay, I’m staring at the WIP. But I’ll get to it. My goal this time around is 1,000 words a day to finish my second Demon E.R. book, and I’ve also got a proposal to write, due in December, as well as revisions and CE’s on other projects.
Ack!!!
Good luck, everyone!

It’s evening here in the UK, and I’m feeling pleased with myself for achieving my 1K words on the first official day of Sweat70! I’m hoping to complete a sizeable chunk of my current Black Lace during the 70 days, and also edit an already written novella.
All the very best of luck for the challenge! I’m sure you’ll achieve your goals!
Love

‘K! Done. I signed up. I desperately need a kick in the pants. I’ve buried myself in editing hell and haven’t written anything new in ages. So, my goal is to do 1K a day on the ’shiny new idea’. Hopefully ignoring the other ms will make it more eager to behave when/if I go back to it.
Best of luck to all. I look forward to sharing in how you talented authors meet your goals and deadlines!

I’m very excited to go another round. I did the challenge last round as fairie/Christina, but decided I needed to get use to my pen name.
