\"FHWC2013\"I was a little bit more on target this week, managing to write five out of seven days.\u00a0 Here\u2019s how the week went.<\/p>\n

On Friday, February 15, I drafted my Surname Saturday post<\/a>, which was 492 words and took about a half hour.<\/p>\n

Hubby worked on Saturday, giving me a chance to get some writing done.\u00a0 I decided to write about my second great-granduncle, Henry Schwartz, following up with what I did in Week 2 on his brother John (my second great-grandfather).\u00a0 I still haven\u2019t decided what to do with these write-ups, but I did use it as an opportunity to play around with Scrivener a bit.\u00a0 That write-up was 492 words and took about an hour.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I snuck in some writing on Sunday and prepared my Genealogy By the States post for Maryland<\/a>, writing about my husband\u2019s (possible) eighth great-grandfather, Johann Bohn.\u00a0 The post ended up being 680 words and took an hour-and-a-half to write.<\/p>\n

Trying to stay ahead of my schedule, I prepared my Surname Saturday post for this coming weekend.\u00a0 It was 612 words and took 45 minutes.<\/p>\n

Other priorities got the best of me on Tuesday and Wednesday, so no \u201cchallenge\u201d writing got done.<\/p>\n

Today, I took some time to write down what I had learned about a nephew (that popped up out of nowhere) of my third great-grandfather, James Mulligan, in hopes of figuring out what the connection is.\u00a0 Based on what I\u2019ve found so far, I\u2019m thinking that it\u2019s a son of a sister of James.\u00a0 This write-up was 298 words.<\/p>\n

So for Week 3, I wrote a total of 2,574 words (weekly goal was 1,400).\u00a0 To date, my word count is 8,730, which is well over where I should be (4,200 @ 200 words\/day).\u00a0 I have a crazy schedule for the rest of the month so I \u2018m not sure how well I will do in Week 4.\u00a0 Hopefully I\u2019ll be able to get in a little writing each day.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re nearing the finish line!\u00a0 Only one week left to go.\u00a0 How have you done so far?\u00a0 Do you plan to continue trying to write a little each day after the challenge is over?\u00a0 Drop me a note and let me know!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
