Arrrrgggghhh! I'm being attacked by sticky notes! My desk is littered with vibrant, florescent pink sticky notes and I had to get away this morning before they feasted on my face. Tried to post while I was sitting at a favorite coffee spot a few blocks away but the wi-fi was giving me issues so sorry for the delay.
Some of you have contacted me with ideas of needing to edit as we write for the 1K1H times. I understand. I too am facing a revamp of my goals and editing so if anyone has ideas post your comments here to share. I was thinking maybe doing pages of edits one of the hours at least but that was just an idea. Remember, this is your pace--everything I'm doing is just suggestions and ideas.
I will post my brag today--I've lost two pounds since I started my goals/pre-goals last week and have gotten three chapters more (eight in all so far) for my latest book. For me, that's pretty good.
I'm hearing great things from you all in emails so share what you can (or want) with others here too. The more the merrier.
As we say in the Navy for a job well done--Bravo Zulu to you all!

Day Two of "Healthy Writing"--Going Strong!
Sorry I am a bit behind today in posting. Most of you are in the writing mode already as my clock reads: 12:08pm (EST) and I know we are scheduled to do our first 1K1H at this point. I've had an exciting morning! But I will not dwell on it just yet, too much work to be done.
We will be having scheduled times for 1K1H throught the day and I will try and keep this schedule for most of our days (unless there is an issue and these times do not work for majority of us in the long run). I have scheduled for today:
1st 1K1H for 12:00-1:00pm
2nd 1K1H for 3:00-4:00pm
3rd 1K1H for 7:30pm-8:30pm
4th 1K1H for 9:00pm-10:00pm
These times are all (EST).
Just a word--please, if these times don't work for you, go for it when you can! Send in your totals either when you do an hour or at the end of the day--either way we want to see!
I wanted to congratulate all those who joined me yesterday in our first day sessions. I am posting some kudos to Pintip for her awesome word count total at 4,253 yesterday (on top of a case of Jet Lag from coming back home from international travel). And Kathy for her total of 2,125 words yesterday. Great job ladies!
Don't forget though, this is not just about writing--this is about our overall well-being too. Don't forget to post what you've accomplished for exercise and good healthy habit changes. Your comments here will help others boost their confidence and share in the overall good will.
Hugs!

Let's Begin!--Day 1 of Healthy Writing.
I hope everyone had a great weekend! Are you ready to go? You've got your goals in sight and your attitude is positive, right? Good! Positive attitudes are what we need! We can do this!
As of last week I was able to keep my pre-start goals. (We won't discuss this weekend though--I think I enjoyed a cupcake or two from a party and a couple of adult beverages that may have dipped into my 49 point allowance Weight Watchers now gives me a week on their new points program.) I didn't do my normal routine either. But I'm back into the groove today.
I want to thank my friend Virginia Paige for joining me this morning on my walk at 6:00 a.m. I look forward to tomorrow morning too! I've had my cereal, two 12oz glasses of water and my vitamin so I'm ready to edit this morning and looking forward to doing the first of many writing/goal setting challenges today at noon (EST).
I will be on Twitter (@LoniLynne1) if you all want to join me--I will also post of Facebook (LoniLynne) and sending emails around that time. If you want to join in we will try and do what a friend of mine refers to as 1K1H (1,000 words in 1Hour). Post in either comments here or on Twitter/or Facebook what you've accomplished.
Anyone can post if they feel the need to start one whenever and we'll see who wants to jump on the band wagon.
My writing goal is to finish the first draft of my novel, "Save Me" by the end of August and finish re-writing my first novel, "Immortal Heat" by the end of September. As far as personal goals, I'm looking on getting down 10 pounds or drop two pant sizes by mid September. Baby steps.
Good luck and hope to hear from you all soon!

Only a Few More Days! -- Enjoy the Weekend!--See You on Monday!
Posting my final blog before we actively go into "Healthy Writing" mode on Monday.
I am excited about this endeavor and hope you are too.
If you haven't had a chance to set your personal goals for both the personal and the writing side of this plan, please do so over the weekend so you are fresh to go Monday. This may be trial and error for many of us so if you find your goals are too much or not enough, re-adjust when and where you need to. If you can't do a half an hour of exercise, try for ten minutes. Same with the writing. As I said previously we will try for a couple of hour sessions throughout the day (more if you prefer) but I will try for one during daytime hours and again for after working hours for those who also work a hectic day schedule.
I will ask for anyone who would like to take a lead to do so with comments--if you find you have questions or an answer to someones question--please respond. I may not have the answer. This is for all of us to enjoy and fellowship with others too.
I will post here, on Twitter, Facebook and on emails (however you prefer) when we are in writing mode for a timed writing event. But if you aren't available at those moments--feel free to post when you are--others might be on-line at that point to and wish to join in.
I'm looking forward to learning from you all and sharing in successes throughout! Enjoy the weekend! See you Monday!
