Bummed
I really wanted a lot of snow, but we haven’t gotten it. The big bosses told us we could go home at 2:00, but I was the only one in my department who had left by the time I got out of there at 2:30. The drive home was uneventful,…
Let it Snow
They are predicting snow and ice over the next 24-48 hours. I am hoping for enough of it that I can stay home and sled with Harley. I don’t think it will happen though. Can you imagine being one of those people stuck in 11 feet of snow right now??…
Weekend Over – Still Behind
I can’t believe the weekend is over already. I got about 3,500 words done today so I’m still over two days behind. I just couldn’t write anymore. I’m not sure of the exact number because I spent a lot of time rewriting some of it so that it would fit…
More Plotting More Writing
I thought last Saturday that I had worked out all of the plotting I would need to finish the book. But in the last couple of days I realized that my pacing was off. When I finished last night’s section with them stopping to take a nap only a sections…
Friday!
Last night’s blog didn’t make much sense, and I should change it, but I’m just as tired tonight so I’m going to leave it alone. I managed to write 1,821 words tonight. I quit in the middle of a scene because I am just too tired to care. I am…
Week Two
I have been blogging for just over a week so far and, not so coincidentally, today is the first day of the second week of my second “Write a Novel in a Month” month. To write 50,000 words in February requires an average of 1,786 words a day. That means…
Dragon Software
I wrote 2,279 words today, so I gained a little (very little) on all of that lost ground. I am fairly happy with what I’ve written, but I know it’s going to take a lot more rewriting than usual to make it good enough to make me happy. Partially that…
Meetings Galore
I spent almost the entire workday in meetings. The morning and all of lunch was taken up in a meeting with the owners and sales staff, trying to get them excited and educated about something new we have developed. Some of them got it, some didn’t. It doesn’t seem complicated…
Maverick
I had a bit of deja vu tonight. Mom called at 4:00 to tell me that Maverick had disappeared. I flashed back to Christmas Adam (the day before Christmas Eve… you know, Adam came before Eve) when I went to bring the dogs in and found Maverick in the neighbor’s…
Plotting the Ending
Writing has been moving really slowly on this book since the end of November. When I first sat down at the beginning of November and started this book, I spent almost a week plotting it out, section by section, chapter by chapter. The only problem is, I left the final…
