Hey Folks,
Not a lot to report today, other than a good early day of writing.
Between 4 and 8 with a few breaks I added a little over 3000 words to the novel. And the end is in sight.
Given another hour, I’d finish it this morning, but I have to go to Tucson for the doc appointment.
This will be a short novel. I should finish it tomorrow with what will probably be a light day of writing.
When I sat down this morning, I wanted it to be a good writing day but I honestly didn’t have a clue where to start.
I took about a half-hour to read back over what I’d written recently (cycling). My characters changed one thing, added one extra line of dialogue, and I was off and running.
Sometimes that’s how it happens. Just sayin’.
See you then.
