3. At midnight on Saturday you are not allowed to report any more finished goals, and the challenge is over.

Rules:

My pitch is going out tonight... Which is on time for my personal deadline, but not for the challenge.

I'm going to sit this week out. I have several fantastic projects--the photo shoot for my recipe book, meeting with the KC film commissioner about my feature, etc.--but none of those really translate into goals. Hopefully next week I'll have some down time for actual drafting-type writing.

Personal Goal: Reach 8,000 words by Friday, write a book review.

Personal Goal completed.

Wednesday night I thought i only had to write 1,200 more words. Since I was busy I didn't get around to writing until the evening, when I realized it was actually 2,200 words. But I got it done. I was thinking the book review might not happen until tomorrow morning, but I had a minute so it's done too.

I'm not going to get the my goal done this week. I had too much other things to do.
