Got the plot outline done last weekend (6 pages) and sent it off to my Kensington Writers’ Group for crit, got 5 crits over the week and made some changes / clarifications and began writing the content last night. have about 3000 new words (the first scene) done – no edits.
New Science Fiction Story
I’ve been recording ideas for a couple of weeks on my voice recorder that Don gave me for my birthday last year, and today I start. Next week is the IFWA writers retreat, and I hope to get most if not all of it done by then. Oh, and I’ll be reading at the Calgary Public Library (W.R. Castell Central Branch, downtown) on October 29. Should be fun! Halloween theme, and all.
Thanks, Molly

Sorry for not posting for so long–
September is busy with school starting up. After my last post I went to our property out at Sundre to help clean up after the hail storm — painted a wall of the cabin and chopped some kindling while Don cut fallen logs into firewood. Last weekend, I went to visit my sister in Golden and help her tile her kitchen floor. She has just built a house and rented the one they live in — she has to move in a couple of weeks so whether her house is done or not, she needs to move. Having the kitchen done will make it liveable, even if the rest still needs work. It was a glorious weekend!
So, I’ve had a little break from writing, but back working on my short story today.
Got a car
So, that’s one job done. It’s new, and I get it in 2 weeks, but at least now I can stop spending my time looking for a car. Today — back to the short story!
