Hey Folks,
Not sure what the day will hold, but at least I got some writing done and finished the story.
Today, and Writing
I rose way early, a little before 2, so the girls could spend some time outside before the kids and grandkids get up. (My babies spend all their time under my bed when anyone’s visiting.)
I started writing at 4. Did a lot of cycling back to add in small details (verisimilitude, that) and wrote a little over 1400 words to finish the story. Probably no more writing today, and that’s fine.
After the visit I’ll watch some baseball.
See you tomorrow.
Of Interest
At Dean’s place, of particular interest, there’s still room in all of the online workshops for August. I can’t recommend these enough, folks. In fact, I’m enrolled in one this month. Details to follow. See http://www.deanwesleysmith.com/store-and-auction/.
