Hey Folks,
Just nothing happening yesterday. Went to bed late, got up late, no writing, so a day off and no Journal.
This morning I rolled out late too. Got out to the Hovel at around 8:30, and played a few games of spider.
Then a name popped into my head. Ronald Jackson. Just a name and an image of a guy in a suit about to walk through his front door into his house.
I opened the novel, typed in Ronald Jackson, and kept typing. With one short break, by 11:40 I’d written “Excesses,” the next short story in the novel. Kind of a psychological suspense horror thing.
Then, since I’ve cleared over 3000 words today, I told my bride the rest of the day is hers. (grin)
See you soon.
