I have found the same results. If I can devote an hour to writing, I can get real traction. Then I don't stop writing until I finish the scene, so I usually end up with more.<br /><br />I got 10k words last week, with many of them coming from word sprints!

Thanks for your encouraging comments and for #teamsprinty encouragement!<br /><br />Dahnya, Thanks. We'll see. As I learn, I'll share. A running partner really helps me.

Editors make very exact comments about what needs to change, while beta readers are a first (or second) impression on general content, flow, characters, etc. <br /><br />I've never been either though, so I might just be blowing smoke.<br /><br />Great job with the running! I wish I had some understanding and willing running partners... perhaps that will be a goal for me for the next round of ROW80!Dahnya Ochhttp://dahnyaoch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-10476187412452324192012-04-25T22:13:06.982-04:002012-04-25T22:13:06.982-04:00OMG, blogger ate my comment!
Aww, Tia, don't...OMG, blogger ate my comment! <br /><br />Aww, Tia, don't be so hard on yourself. Well do, but don't...know what I mean. I'm glad to see you've added the sprints to your goals. It really helps to have that hour devoted specifically to writing...and with company! I have to admit, I never intended to do these past nano, but it helped me and everyone else so much that I couldn't stop!<br /><br />Such a good question about editing vs. beta reading. I have wondered the same thing. If someone enlightens you, do share!!<br /><br />And so many congrats on sticking with running! That is something that is way too easy to make excuses not to do and you're not, so three cheers for you!! Have a great rest of the week :DLauren Garafalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029877569212349691noreply@blogger.com
