I’m back baby. Not that I was gone…but I am back in the rhythm. Had a very good writing day, both in terms of page count and the writing itself. I’m, well, I’m not as close to the end as I want to be, but I am getting there. Might break 500 pages on this one, but we’ll see. It’ll be however long it needs to be. Made a couple cuts today, even, just for pacing. It felt right in the moment, so I did it. I always do that. The outline is just there to look out for me, you know? Keep me going. But what’s king is what it feels like in the moment. Always. That trumps everything.
Work was quiet. It allowed me to get out in the front yard and make some more progress on the parking spot. Good lord what sweaty, back breaking work it is to work the dirt. I have so much respect for those who do it for a living. It’s coming along. I’m leveling the soil right now, and it looks so much better once that’s done. For the first time, it’s not just an odd hole in the ground, it starts to look like something…deliberate. Ordered. Neat. Looking forward to finishing.
I’ll be busting my butt now for these next two weeks, trying to finish this thing. And then busting my butt in a different way trying to get the free novella done by publishing day. Lotta work. Sigh. But I love it. I truly do. I had a day today of loving what I do, which was nice.
Night night.
