Hey Folks,
Back to writing today. When the sun is up and I know the babies are safe inside or in the yard, I’ll head out to the Hovel.
I still run out of steam after only a few hours, so I want to spend those hours putting words on the page. I can rest after that. (grin)
In the meantime, there are a lot of great posts in “Of Interest” today.
***
To the Hovel a little after 8. It was enjoyable to see my old friends again.
I spent some time going over the reverse outline and updating it, then put my fingers on the keyboard and listened to the characters, adding around 800 words.
A break up at the house, then back to the Hovel for another session. Around a thousand words later, I was getting tired, so I decided to call it a day.
It feels great to be writing again.
Talk with you again soon.
