It was fun and all, but...<br /><br />Rachel - Maybe I could somehow combine writing with Facebook. Maybe a novel composed entirely of Status Updates?<br /><br />Jack - Take it from me, prison is no fun. Just sayin' (although you can get a lot of writing done!)<br /><br />Alma - Yeah, I don't think I'll be nailing 2000 words per day consistently during this stretch.<br /><br />Tuesday Update - Yes, I hit my quota again today. The quality is definitely poor, however.Alan Orloffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695574442723430347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3632878082669459487.post-55589231178044782212010-02-22T21:34:30.813-05:002010-02-22T21:34:30.813-05:00I was going to suggest that perhaps you could stic...I was going to suggest that perhaps you could stick to writing and con Galen into doing your promotion for you. Then I remembered that you want to actually sell books, not wind up in prison.<br /><br />Good luck!Craig Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04601732068274136557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3632878082669459487.post-22251845811821660802010-02-22T17:50:04.210-05:002010-02-22T17:50:04.210-05:00I'm not sure that any plan that calls for redu...I'm not sure that any plan that calls for reduced Facebooking sounds very good. ;-) In all seriousness, though, good luck with the juggling act.

As this activity will probably last through July, maybe you should budget for it.

So I figure I might as well get some more stuff done.<br /><br /><br />UPDATE - I hit my (reduced) quota today!
