Just about an hour ago, before supper. Now, back to the novella!
BTW, I also got to get out of the house yesterday and hear my friend and writers-group-member, Jan read from her new kids’ book. It was awesome — must have been 30-40 people there, including some members of my group, so we had a good visit as well and took lots of photos. None of me, though, because it wasn’t my camera. So I don’t have the photos, either.
Good times!
Well, I enjoyed it. Got to write all day Saturday and all day Sunday. Okay, there were interruptions, but I think I have a new submission ready to go. It’s a good feeling.
My daughter had a very cool thought last night. She said writing a story is like writing an essay: you open with your idea (this is what I am going to say), then you present example after example that relates back to the main theme, then finish by saying what you said. Okay, clearly not through infodump, but through illustration. I love it!
Ten thousand words was my final count for last weekend — plus some revision. Here are photos of everyone working their tails off at the write-off:
Okay, so I can’t find my username and password for Photobucket. My daughter set me up for several accounts and used a different username and password for each of them, and do you think I can keep them all straight? I’ll upload the pictures after I get in touch with her and get it straightened out. Here’s the rest of my post:
And, I have ideas coming out my ears. Luckily, I have a voice recorder, so I don’t lose them. However, this weekend, I helped my sister move, so no writing time. Sigh. Soon!
