Things flowed well. I'm through the prologue and chapters one and two. That, along with the blog and the journal, added up to 8199 words for the day. Awesome! I love days like that. And, I could've done more, had my activities allowed that.
I went to the write-in at the library at 4:30. I donated a copy of Part 1 to the library and set to work. There were at least ten people there, if not twelve. It was an awesome turnout. At one point, a few of us started talking and that went on for almost an hour. I got behind then, but that was okay. Socializing with other writers is good stuff.
I then went to the kickoff party. I took my laptop, not knowing what to expect. Well, I didn’t need to take it. We talked and ate and talked some more. I love meeting new people and these people were writers too! It was great!
But when I got home at 9:00, I still needed 1500 words to meet my 7250 word count goal. I prayed with the kids and got them headed to bed and then got back to work. My husband, who was out of town for the night, called in the middle. He let me finish and called back 35 minutes later. I had just reached 7250. When we got off the phone, I finished the chapter I was on, which got me to my 8199.
It was a really good day.
Today, I'm going to work on David's journal. The last page from that is the prologue for Part 1. Chapter 3 delves into the journal a bit. I want to have it all mapped out before deciding what pieces I'm sticking in there.
My goal for the day is another 7250. I'm volunteering at the Family History Center today from 2 to 5, but most of the time, I can write while I'm there. The kids have church activities tonight. They'll require me to be an attentive parent, so I need to have things done before seven this evening.
Whoo! Here we go! See you tomorrow.
