Hey Folks,
Well, I saw that MailChimp added the May 1st post to the May 2nd post. Weird.
In his post today, Dean’s hawking a new writing-book bundle Kris put together. Even if you’re otherwise not interested, this one includes The Heinlein’s Rules lecture. That alone is worth the money for the bundle if you haven’t heard that lecture. Just sayin’. See https://www.deanwesleysmith.com/writing-books-bundle-and-lecture/.
Yesterday I reported writing over 6000 words of fiction in what was my personal biggest day ever.
This morning I went back and double checked. It was difficult for me to believe that total. Honestly, I felt fresh enough that with another short break, I probably could have written another thousand words.
But nope. The total was correct.
This morning I didn’t get out to the Hovel until around 8:30. Took a small break about an hour later, then a longer one around 10:30 to check the PO and put some gas in my truck.
Then back to the Hovel. I forgot Mona would be home early today, so when she got here I wrapped it up in the middle of another story. I also wrote what will be the first half of the Epilogue to the overall novel. So a pretty good day.
See you soon.
