31803

Good writing day. Got in 1500 words, bringing me up to 31,803! Almost midpoint.

For those of you writers with a day job, set goals. Even if you don’t reach them in the time frame you set for yourself, you will be closer than if you didn’t set any.  My summer goal was to write 1,000 words a day, 5 days a week. I’ve averaged more like 3,000 words a week. I forget you have to stop and do research, restructuring and rethinking plot lines in there.

But then there are days like today, when it all comes together and you can just feel it start to flow again. The character you weren’t sure you could speak for comes to life. You can feel the hard, cold pavement he’s sitting on. You know what he’s feeling, what he’s going to do.

Having fun again…God, I love writing!
