1000 Words Each Day
http://1000wordseachday.blogspot.com/
In an effort to write my first novel I’m attempting to complete a minimum of 1000 words a day, 3-4 days a week. These posts could be the VERY rough first drafts, completely untouched, or they could be edited at any given time. They are in no particular order in terms of how the finished story will be told, simply posted whenever they are written. In short -- everything that appears here is transient, a work in progress.
