Saturday’s writing
Okay - I’m almost at 60K. I wrote thirty-one pages today. I needed that, because I’m so close to the end, even though I’d already written the actual end a long time ago. It’s the middle and those damned secondary characters that threw me off.
I think we might understand one another now. I think I’m ready to print this draft out and find the 10k or so I need during the revision and fleshing-out phase. That shouldn’t be too hard, should it? (this is the point where you lie to me and tell me, no Steph, that’ll be a piece of cake.)
Cake? Who said cake?
And, just so you know - the husband and I have still done nothing to prepare for the construction. Nothing.
Okay, I’m going to finish watching Notting Hill and then collapse. And then tomorrow, I need to find those words. Because sometime next week, the printer’s getting unplugged and stored. How’s that for inspiration?

I’m so jealous of your pages!! I’m getting close to typing the end on this first draft too that it’s killing me. But what am I doing right now instead of working . . . blog hopping. Must get back to writing. And knock some pages out.:shoot:

Good luck, and wow on the 31 pages! Awesome writing day!

Teresa - bloghopping is perfectly acceptable and necessary for the creative process (how’s that?)
Thanks everyone for the cheers! I’m telling you - fear and avoidance are wonderfully motivating factors. Today I’m going to avoid cleaning out closets.:LOL: Construction? What construction?

31 pages. I think that beats my personal best…which is somewhere in the mid to upper 20’s. You go!

WOW! 31 pages is awesome! Your revisions will be a piece of cake.

I’m almost speechless at 31 pages! And if you could do that in a day, last 10K should be a piece of cake indeed! Best of luck on finishing the last touches and sending that baby out!

Well, it’s always easier to do something at the last minute. Isn’t it?

31 pages? WOW!!! That’s awesome, Steph!!! You rock!!!

Holy guacomole, 31 pages? Geez, that is amazing. The most I’ve done is twenty in a day. My back won’t hold out that long. Good luck getting those last few words. You shouldn’t have any trouble at all.

31 pages? I hate you. and here I was happy to handwrite TEN! Knowing that printer’s getting packed up should be just the cattle prod you need, sugs…..
