It feels weird not posting my word meter but I didn’t add many words today. Instead, I wrote notes about characters and plot lines because when I sat down to write, I realized I had hinted at lots of things to come without any clear plan for how the story played out. Now I have a much better sense of what’s what and will continue writing tomorrow. I even figured out that the big scene comes earlier than I’d thought so this project might truly be finished, on its own terms, by November 30.

Thanks, Lorraine, for the confidence. I’ll try to hold those thoughts when I get back to it as soon as my second son is off to school.

I LOVE revisions, and can’t wait to reach that point. I’m putting this one away, though, and will revise the draft I finished in July. Haven’t looked at that one since so it should be completely new to me.

Sweet it is! Of course, the perspective can sometimes sour just as quickly when that self-doubt sneaks back in. I’m trying my hardest to keep that stuff at bay, though.
