I did some editing on a short story today, and I kind of want to cry about it :p I have last year's anthology and all the stories are brilliant, and mines about stupid cats and how they're all fluffy and cuddly and stuff.
I understand everyone's really busy around Easter and all, but if you do have a bit of time at some point, I'd really (really, really) appreciate some feedback and, most importantly, ideas on how to make it less pathetic. Thank you :) I'll post a link in Prodders, anyway.
1560 words today. It's been a while since I've actually written anything substantial.

Good work! And doesn't matter. A little bit a few times a week gets you damn close to your target, doesn't it? :)
Very close, less than 4000 words
I haven't written in ages and I'm doubting I'll make it to my target :/ But I have 600 more words to record for now, and I hope for more later. Maybe I can pull it off?

Hey, 3.2k words in 10 days IS doable. 300 words a day, or a handful of days with 600 or 700... Good luck!

I've not been active on here at all lately :( But today I'm off school so I'm trying to finish a story to submit to Voiceworks. It probably won't be successful, but no harm in trying. Deadline's in 3 weeks, so I've got to get a move on.
At this point I'm really not sure where to take it :P I'm kind of close to where I want to finish it, but I'm not sure how to get there. Editing this will be hell, I'm sure.
On a happier note, my mum's going to be published in Meanjin! Which is pretty neat :)
EDIT: 830 words I haven't yet recorded.

Good luck, Vestie! And congratulations to your mum.
Ooh Meanjin is shiny! :D
And the good thing about Voiceworks is that even if you don't get in, Vestie, they still give you some pointers about your work :)
1200 words today so far.
28900/30000 96.3%
And you think you're not gonna make your goal! HA!
Go, Vestie!
Look at that shiny 30k waving at you! Go go go :D.
I did it! 1150 words over the past couple of days!
30050/30000!!

A new season and a new goal of 20k words. I may up this later, but I'll see how I go. At the meet today I wrote 1900 words (it would have been more if not for the free wifi...)

If someone has time, I would really appreciate them having a read of a story in Prodders and telling me what they think :) Thanks
715 words today! And I've finished a story I've been writing for a little while. It's come to 8900 words, and I'm reasonably happy with it (for a first draft) :)
