I love it. Congrats, Aaron--you have done and are doing amazing and inspiring work! I'm miles behind you...but my first pre-written WILAWriTWe post will be going up less than two days hence. I'm excited about it. It's a nice feeling to know it was done a week early, with plenty of time left for review! “…the post was scheduled to publish before I was scheduled to wake up…”

I've got to admit, the wall of "not even started yet" posts was pretty intimidating when I first got to it, but at this point (only three weeks later), I don't think I could function as a blogger without that simple little spreadsheet. I definitely understand the pressure of starting late, but I'm confident you'll get amazing things out of it. It's a lot of work, but it pays dividends. Good luck! Thanks, Eleanor!

I have a table set up in a word document but haven't gone as far as colour coding it for fear of scaring myself with so much orange ;) Starting this challenge a week later that most everyone else, I can't afford the time to go back and set it right now but it's a learning curve and there is so much from this challenge that will help in the future. Great job. Can't say more than that, I've still got another 23 posts to write before next Sunday ;) El Aaron,

I'm nothing if not verbose. Then again, on something like this, it will be nice to have the detailed account down on paper, so I can hack and trim to produce a more elegant chapter for Carlos's e-Book. I'm looking forward to that. Indeed it is, Dave. I’m nothing if not verbose.

I appreciate you stopping by to comment. I started blogging a long time ago (long before Unstressed Syllables) as a way to supplement my pretty flaky memory, so I do tend to lay on the detail pretty thick. I know a year from now I'll be glad I did.... And yes, <a href="http://www.unstressedsyllables.com/2010/my-experience-with-the-conscious-me-pre-writing-challenge/comment-page-1/#comment-211" rel="nofollow">Trish</a>! Of course I'll help you get your spreadsheet set up. Mine has made my life easier, mainly by giving me concrete, visual targets to aim for. You're right, too. I kinda oversold your TV viewing habits. I was trying to show how much I was sacrificing, for the sake of the blog, because otherwise I'd've been watching it all with you. Thanks, Ralph! I appreciate you stopping by to comment.

Can you help me get a spreadsheet for my blog? I want to work harder on my blog and enjoy it too. This sounds promising. Oh, contrary to this blog post, I don't watch that much tv. Ok, I’m impressed.

Much more detailed than mine but I hope to get better organized over time. Very nice summary of your work on the challenge. Much more detailed than mine but I hope to get better organized over time.
