Didn’t get nearly as much done this weekend as I wish I had. Perhaps I’ll do a better job next weekend.
Sigh.
3000 words this weekend
That doesn’t count the revision I did on the first 10,000 words, so not bad, I think. Here are some of them:
She cocked her head. Another sound. Deeper. Not trickling, more like . . .
“Finally, you see the light!” Jerry’s voice came from the other side of her now. He had completed most of the circuit of the room.
“Do you hear that?” The sound came again, low, almost a vibration.
He stilled, his candlelight lapping hers, the murmur of the water, quiet. The faint sounds of the workers in the other room filtered through the door.
More like a moan.
A chink of concrete crumbled from the ceiling and plopped into the water.
“Lian.”
She held up her candle. A long, branched crack crinkled the ceiling. Had that been there before?
The moan came again, and a second chunk fell.
“Lian!” Jerry splashed across the room.
Oh, and By The Way . . .

And I DID Submit
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!
Great weekend
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.
