    I got my 3k. Which seems to be a great default.

    Yeah, 3K for me tends to be one good idea or a few hours of work on something I've already got going. 5k can come easy when I'm really struck with inspiration, but without it I keep having to write in couple hundred word bursts and it sort of eats all the useful parts of my day.

    Precisely. Although since I run my story in more or less bite sized fashion, 3k for me tends to be a pair of 1500-2k word chapters. 5k is when I get two extra large chapters that could have been three if things worked out differently.

    Bah.
    Haven't managed to write last scene since last week. This is incredibly annoying. Man, fuck that noise - I'm gonna pledge 3000. I'll almost certainly fail, but fuck that.

    I won't be updating the front page for a few days. My grandmother died, so I'm back home. QQ doesn't seem to like my home internet. I don't really have the patience to fight it right now either.

    If you have done your challenges everyday since last Sunday do me a solid and post it in the thread, please. I can't navigate pages well enough to check without my list, which I didn't think to bring. I will make sure you still get your banners.

    I managed 900 out of 500 for A Change of Pace. Writing awkward romance is fun! I'll try to expand that to an even 1500 pledged if there are enough votes when I get back from work.

    Oh, I suppose I should make a pledge for today. 800 this time.

    Also, with yesterday's completion, I've finished the weekly challenge.
