Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I really, really hope I'll find the time for writing tomorrow. It was supposed to be a quiet day, but now things are just piling up and I'll be running around all day :-/

If You Set Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever), Are You Progressing? Um, I made words? I've been a terrible cheerleader... I'll be better tomorrow.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? GO WORDS! Also, snippet:

“You’re showing more than me,” he says, because he can feel the swell of her belly between them.

She snorts. “Smooth, Jackson, starting off by telling me I’ve gotten fat.”

“We’re getting fat together,” he says wryly. “Is Boyd spoiling you?”

“They are both treating me brilliantly, but I have missed you.” She loosens her grip, sliding to stand when he lowers her carefully. One more hug, and she pulls him inside. “This place is amazing. It’s like living in a playground. Or an amusement park. No, seriously, there is a full-size swimming pool—I think of you every morning when I’m doing my laps—and there’s a carriage house out back that has a working carousel inside it. Not to mention the theater, with a proper popcorn maker and a dispenser of stuff that pretends to be butter to squirt all over it.”

Jackson’s eyebrows go up. “And I thought my house was big.”

“Your house is great. This place… is like a whole different echelon.” Erica pats his shoulders. “I see why your dad was working so hard to climb the social ladder. All these years I thought the Whittemores were on top, but they don’t compare to the Martins at all.”

Jackson bristles because that’s his family that she’s talking about. Except, it isn’t his family anymore, not really, so he bites his tongue on the sharpest of retorts. “The Whittemores are on top,” he says slowly. “Most alphas aren’t like the Martins. I can name maybe a dozen alpha families that are in the same bracket as your alpha.”

Awesome, over half way to your goal!

From:

That's a great pace to get your goal. Even if it's just a few words, it's the momentum that's important. Keep it up!

From:

swissmarg

Yes, food is important for the writing too. *nods* You got in some good, solid words too, keep it up!

From:

swissmarg

Wow, that's a good chunk of words! You're going to smash that goal if you keep going like that. And, yes, that place they are living does sound amazing! The popcorn maker made me LOL.
