Hey Folks,
Had a very nice email last night and this morning from a reader and writer about a story I wrote.
Frankly, I don’t remember the story, though I recognized the title.
She wrote with a question, but was also kind enough to say the story had “amazing detail” and was “an amazing example of pacing.” Who knew? It was a great compliment and a total score. (grin)
Anyway, we’ll visit two more uncles today, then are considering having supper with another before heading back home. We miss our 4-legged babies.
We’re also considering staying one more night since the hotel is already booked and paid for. (grin) I’ll update this with the firm plan later in the day.
Today, and Writing
I started the day early, still cycling through to add a few bits of essential information (tweaking) a character discovered about the dead body from the first chapter. That might be all of the writing today, as it’s been the past two days.
Well, I ended up doing nothing but a little cycling today, clarifying details and cleaning up a twist in the story. I’ll be glad to get back to my routine.
I still feel like I’ll wrap up this novel in time.
Back tomorrow.
