It's cloudy and rainy here in north Georgia, but I'm feeling frisky and energetic this morning. It's just past 8 am and I've washed two loads of laundry, fed the youngest and took a shower. I still need to eat something myself, but not sure what I want yet. Tim took the big girls to school for me, so that was nice. :-)
Yesterday turned out to be a good writing day, even though it felt like I was running the roads all day. So many things to do in one little day just make it feel rushed and overwhelming. Luckily I'm a stubborn Capricorn that knows how to get things done. ;-)
Today will be a smoother day, with less running around. I'll be able to have another good writing day. The story is finally picking up speed for me. Took three chapters, but hey, that's what edits and rewrites are for AFTER the story is on my virtual paper. LOL. Right now it's all about just getting the story, from beginning to end, written down and out of my head. Later I'll come back to add scenes, change scenes, delete scenes, rewrite those things Liz said to Chad when they were rolling around on the ground, delete what Cole said about Hamish, and numerous/millions of other things that'll need to be done and un-done.
Yeah, edits will be a bitch on this one, but it'll be well worth it in the end. I hate edits! Nonetheless, they improve any story one hundred fold from its first daft state. No one but the writer should ever, EVER lay eyes on a first draft of anything... much less a story. Nooooo!! Never do that! It's death to any story when you show the first draft to someone. You know it's bad, all first drafts are bad, there can be no exception to this rule. Just don't do it. And certainly don't ask to see mine 'cause I'll adamantly refuse your request.
Well, I guess I better change out of my shorts and tank top and into something appropriate for November. Tim wants to go buy Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 when the game store opens. He's been talking about it for a couple of weeks, so it has been planned.
I doubted he'd get it since it's $60, but he made some extra cash helping his dad and I always make him trade in an old game when he wants a new one. So he should have plenty of money to get it without asking me for more. LOL. Gotta train those husbands like you do the kids sometimes. We'll hit our 16th anniversary after the first of the year, so no, the training never ends.
But at least that'll keep him busy while I'm working today. Woohoo!!
Have a wonderful Tuesday! Make the best of it and you'll be a happier person.
