1. How I did on last week’s goals
7,246 words! Not only did I meet my stretch goal--I beat it!
2. My goals for this week
5,000 words seems to be working for me. I'm starting to realize that I'm not going to finish by end of August, but that's okay. I'm on track to the end and have a map to get there.
3. A favorite line from my story
As background, this happens after my main character and two of her friends see the ghost in my story:
“She’s gone,” I said.
We turned to look back at the graves, the ivy-covered gate.
“Jesus,” Jordan said.
“Pretty sure that was Margaret,” Bri said.
“Really helpful,” Jordan said.
4. The biggest challenge I faced this week
We had a family emergency that landed my brother-in-law in the hospital (prayers and positive vibes please!), which made writing for a couple days rough.
5. Something I love about my WIP

Hi Liz. Sorry to hear about your brother-in-law, but it doesn't seem to have taken a big hit on your word count! Keep on writing, you'll reach that spot on the map marked 'the end' before you know it.
