It’s day 10 (I'm posting on Day 11. Day 10 was Saturday. Saturdays are my day off.). This
week was rough. I got the news that two
people I know died. It was extra hard
because they were both under 35 years old.
Ironically, I wrote the part of my novel where my character’s daughter
was killed in a tragic car accident. I was
a bit sad as I was writing. It was hard
not to cry. I can get emotional when I write.
The writing has gotten a little easier, but, I still don’t
feel like myself because of the shoulder pain.
UGH! So tired of that. I’m still ahead of schedule. I’m at 25,093 words. WOW! I’m
impressed and I feel good, too.
I’m introducing my characters now. It’s been fun writing them and having them
talk to me. This is my favorite part of
writing novels. I get to know my
characters intimately. It’s like they
become family. They even go to be with
me. I have to shut my mind off and
ignore them so I can go to sleep.
Speaking of sleep… I’m
not getting good sleep because of my shoulder pain. UGH! Trying to find something to help with
that… permanently.
I’m still meeting my goals.
That’s good.
Looking forward to the next five days. What will they bring?
Here’s a parting quote… Motivation!
