Total Page Count: 82 pages

I’m actually impressed with my count today. Weekends are tough me. Lots of family time, chores, errands, etc. So this is good. Today was a success. If I can do this many tomorrow I’ll be inspired!

But next week, I really need to turn on the power, because I really, really want to have a full first draft at the the end of the two weeks. The gauntlet has been thrown down–it’s up to me to pick it up. Or at least get close enough to pick it up a few days later…

I’m off to bed (it’s 11:00)…looks like I’ll beat my six year old, who, having just thrown up in his bed, is taking full advantage and watching Pink Panther with his dad. Tomorrow should be fun…

Got a little too involved in my pages today. My fingers weren’t tripping over the keys so much as my mind was tripping over ideas. My head was in the story today, really picturing it, and I felt like a puppeteer, pouring over movements instead of just getting a general storyline down.

So…I only did 9 pages today. I’m a little bummed, but I figure it’s still more than a do in a normal day–by far. I’m doing my best, so I should be happy. I’ll try for more this weekend. It all comes down my husband…

Still going, but still finding it hard to turn off my IE. When I can do it, it’s great, but sometimes I hit a snag, and I just can’t step away from a bad sentence. Also I do much better if I write for awhile and then take a break and come back fresh. (Actually read tonight in one of the emails Candace sent to the class that she recommends five pages at a time). My trouble is, I don’t get that many opportunities to run back to the computer for an hour or an hour and a half at a time. I’ll keep trying though…

Sent my books to Iraq today, and to send nine books cost me only $3.51! This is my little reminder for you all to send books!

Also, if you haven’t read it (although I’m sure many of you have), Diana Peterfreund has a great blog today about the best way to go about getting published. Very informative.
