I’m at just over 200 pages of this first draft.
Wrote 1000 words every day for 71 days.
And am just now thinking I know the story.
Don’t laugh.
But as I wrote notes the last couple days
trying to find my way out of the wilderness
I kept thinking
"I wish I had a huge whiteboard"
one large enough to pace in front of
and step back to look at
in order to see the big picture.
Guess what?
All sorts of kind people have posted
DIY directions for making your own ginormous whiteboard.
I hope to be back soon with photos and helpful links!

Imagining you boarding plane to Portland caring ginormous white board.

HA! Wait until I tell you about that flight to Portland. Zippy noticed I’d booked a PM flight instead of AM on Sunday. Major meltdown (on my part). He fixed it but it cost lots more money.
Now I just REALLY have to enjoy myself. Shouldn’t be a problem. 🙂

Yes, and thanks for reminding me. 🙂 As if any of us could forget that.
Zippy fixed everything for me yesterday. As Zebu said, “You should probably let Dad handle it right now.” I swear, I’m not touching another airline reservation as long as I live!!!!!

Seventy-one days to find your story is not bad at all. There were a lot of words, yes, but timewise, you’re in good shape.
