The last two days have been good ones and I've gotten a lot of writing done. It's been raining which is great for us here in the Southeastern U.S. Heavens only knows we need it. I woke up this morning and ta da...the grass actually had a tinge of green to it.
Let's see a run down of all that's been going on?
I pulled a muscle in my neck that hurts like the devil. I made baby cupcakes with my daughter today. If you bake mini-cupcakes in tart pans, do you know how many little cupcakes you'll end up with? About a million. But that's okay cause I didn't have to ice them. (grin) She did. And I think she ate about half of them too.
My internet has been in and out. My email is kaput. So if you need me, hit me on my yahoo mail address until RR can figure out what's wrong. (personally, I think they did something to my account or something) Duh!
I've screwed up my word count for the novel and I've got to get that straight cause I ended up writing a couple of scenes that are not in my original plot but that were necessary for me to write and I'm toying with actually using them. I don't know but it would be cool foreshadowing. But I haven't added them to the total word count because I'm going to write this novel as I originally wrote the plot and I'll make notes as I go along because I don't want to get too far off the path because then before I know it I might end up in Charksdale, Mississippi and wonder how I got there. (Sorry Janie, I just had to do that) But anyway. I wrote about a thousand words tonight and got through with chapter two.
Still fighting a bit with personality. Okay, I'm fighting a lot with personality but whether I get 500 words a day or 1000 or 4000 a day. I'm making a concerted effort to put my butt in the chair and write. This is very important to me. I've got to do this if I want to move forward.
The funny thing is nobody in my family except my daughter knows I'm writing. I just am.

Hi, I am finally coherent this morning. Well, give me a few more minutes. It aint 8 yet. I love that new song, Come in Closer. WOW!
I will call you today. I did not check my phone till I got ready for bed last night. Laughing. It was still in my purse, which is that Books A Million bag! Hehehehe.
I am going to eat lunch with Liz and Mother. They are coming by to pick me up. We are going to the casinos! OH! NO! But I've never been so, and John is gone to Jackson MS, and the house is clean, and so forth, and I thought I'd go. The sun is out, first time in a week. It's nice to be with Mother outside some place.
I will call you. I really love that song.
"The truth remains lethal."
