I have finished chapters 24 (2,687 words) and 25 (2,570 words) today and it's only 4:30. I even took time out to do some dishes today. I think I'm going to eat supper now and watch a movie, but I will probably write some more before the evening is over.
I'm now up to 68,481 words which is 91.31% of the 75,000 I'm shooting for. Not too bad considering it's only the 19th of the month. And I have tomorrow off for Presidents' Day.
This blog is basically a diary of the writing of a new book series (starting with the first book) written by Edward J. Coburn. It is about a guy who has a pseudonym of Robert Adam Madigan because he is hiding from his real identity. He will (in the book) write a blog called Ram's Ramblings and the Ramblings can be found on the Ram's Rambling tab.

Finished Chapter 23
It's almost 8 o'clock and I've only finished chapter 23 (2,187 words). I don't know how much more writing I'm going to get done for the rest of the evening, but I'm going to try and write a bit more.
Now, I have 62,676 words or 83.57% of the 75,000 words I am shooting for.

Been up since 3
As normal on Saturday I got up early. I don't always get up at 3, but I couldn't go back to sleep so I just thought I'd get up and write. I was tired last night so I didn't get much. This morning I finished chapter 22 (2,348 words). I hope to get two more chapters done before the day is out.
I'm up to 60,325 words which is 80% of the 75,000 words. I'm shooting for. I think I have about eight more chapters to write. Which should easily get me done before the month is out. Not That, I guess. Two books in two months. I have some serious editing to do so. Maybe I'll spend next month writing only half a book and editing the rest of the month. It's hard to stay away from the writing though. When I have ideas, I just have to get them into the computer. I guess I shouldn't complain because some people don't have ideas. Not that I was really complaining anyway. I was just merely making comment.

Just a quick note
Yesterday and this morning I finished chapter 21 (3,120 words). The nice thing, that I have mentioned before, is that I have a three day weekend coming up. I would hope I can get two chapters per day done. If I dan do that in addition to the chapter I should be able to get done today, that would give me 28 chapters with only two or three to go. I should be able to finish the book by the end of the month which is what I was shooting for when I started it.
Thus far the book is 57,278 words or 76% of the 75,000 words I'm shooting for. 11 days left in the month.

I have finished chapter 20
I have slowed down just a bit, but I'm still getting approximately a chapter done every day. . Yesterday I finished chapter 19 (2,301 words) and today I finished chapter 20 (2,952 words).
I now have 54,158 words or approximately 72% of the total of 75,000 words I'm hoping for. I have the book planned out through chapter 31, and I have a three-day weekend coming up. I'm hoping to get two chapters a day, but we shall see. I still haven't done any more editing on the first book and I need to do it.

Chapter18 done now
I finished chapter 18 (1,998 words) on Monday. Only the first draft of course. I was hoping to have 18 down on Sunday and then 19 and maybe 20 done on Monday, but it just didn't happen. I talked to my daughter on the phone for a couple of hours last night.
Total is 48,610 words right now, which is 65% of my goal of 75,000 words. . Not bad for 13 days, I guess.
