Okay, I'm going to work on 3 books. they are all in different stages as I edit and have help editing in stages as I write.
Book 1: Blood Traitors 13,078 science fiction (It's a sequel to Rebellion on Piza 7 (out now) and much harder for me!) I started it before book 2
Book 2: Winds of Fire 29,585Thriller/Romance It's book one of 2 so have to really develop secondary characters and subplots carefully so I don't ruin the second books plot
Book 3 Untitled as of yet 000
I'm going to try my hand at a harlequin presents as there is a contest coming up Wish me luck :) (It may turn into suspense or historical... can't decide on the setting)
And off I go
Okay-I'm working on a YA Urban Fantasy WIP and started July with 25,939 words.
Today, I logged just over 1500 words on my WIP (now up to 27,463) so I'm off to a good start.
Now, to keep up the momentum for the entire month! :)
My word count for today is 1085. I don't have an actual title yet, I simply refer to the book as Rasa's Story.
Awesome girls! I'm still working (because I have to get revisions done on Lost and Found before I start my real word count), but I shall get it done!
I will be working on Lost and Found revisions (so a few words to add to the word count) and my new WIP...working title Parlor.
Yay! It’s the Big Day. I’m pretty stoked.
My wip is nameless, presently, so I’ll just call it Lori’s YA. I know, clever, right?
Starting count: zero
Yes, that’s zero. Or should I say *was* zero. Ha. I’m making headway and will report at the end of the day.
Best of luck to all.

Alright, we're grooving! I'm working on 2 titles. My intention is to do 1k for each book during this challenge. Ambitious, but I have the month off work, so, really - there's no reason for me not to. ;)
1. Losing It - edgy YA starting word count of: 31 076 - my goal is to finish this book by the end of July.
2. Witch's Shadow - paranormal YA - starting word count: 5991 - my goal is to have a very rough first draft done by the end of July.
Good luck to us all!
Okay, 1,000 words a day on my WIP. I'm working on a YA Fantasy novel. Today I started at 6,400 and wrote 1,000 words. So, my total as of today is 6,500 words.
Oh! I forgot my starting word counts.
Lost and Found (just doing revisions) starting word count is: 65,970
Parlor: 985
Seeing how it’s getting close to midnight I’ll share my day’s progress now.
Starting word count was ZERO.
Today’s word count: 2,008
Not bad. I’ll take it.
Good luck everyone!

I adore this challenge -- the perfect fire under my ass!
I'm working on a first YA novel rough draft, untitled, about a girl and her runaway friend. Or something like that. I guess we'll see.
Before this lovely challenge, my word count was 18, 704. Today (tonight!) I wrote 1,039.
Here we go!
Working Title: Protection
Word count before tonight 3559
Tonight's addition 1058
Total after tonight 4617
Okay, baby and benydral kept me off the keyboard, but I squeezed it in :)
Book two ends the night with 30,682!
Book one I looked at and Book three... havent' made a decision yet :)
I started the month with Partly Human at 31726 words (sequel to Pretty Souls which will be sent out to agents hopefully next month after another solid round of edits).
I was really hoping to finish it before we leave on vacation, but I haven't managed to hit my 2500 a day goal yet since I decided to try LOL. I'm hoping participating in this will light a fire under my butt.
