We had another 2 inches of rain yesterday and it’s supposed to be raining on and off all day today. I’m going to have lunch with my granddaughter today. Only 2 weeks left of school, so I’ll be having lunch with her next week at school and then that’s it. She’ll be here 4 days a week, two of them with baby brother. Hopefully, I can still get some writing done, though we’ll be doing some fun stuff also.
I did manage to get 1,000 words done on White Wolf and 2,000 on Night of the Vampire done yesterday.
But today is a 2,000 word day on White Wolf, so need to get it done.
Hope you have a terrific day! I’m off to get to work.
I finished Highland Wolf and was working on the marketing materials. I did the long synopsis but still need the short one. But it’s time to dream about white wolves now. 🙂 <3
It’s written from beginning to end and now it’s time to actually edit it all the way through–again, read it all the way through–again, while proofing it.
Woohoo! Then it’s time for the white wolf book! These will be coming out next year.
We had violent thunderstorms last night. We were supposed to have storms all day, but it looks like it all came in the middle of the night. We had 3 1/2 inches of rain!
So it was a late day with the kids yesterday so I didn’t quite make 1,000 on edits and little one is back today, sooooooo……
This was a goldfish photo I took and then added textures.
I’m trying to get this post done before he gets here! We had a great time at the grocery store and man did he eat yesterday. I think he’s going through a growing spurt. Nice walk to pick up sister at school too. Got to get ready for them.
I managed to get 4000 words yesterday on the book so that I now have the minimum word count! Woohoo. I printed out the first 100 pages and edited them last night, so typing in the changes now.
My raised flower bed has grass in it that I didn’t want to cover and kill off because I wanted to move it to bare spots in the yard and finally did some of that this morning. I need to transplant some tomato plants that are doing really good, but they need more space. I don’t need that many really. Maybe I’ll put one out front and share it with the neighbors. Or I can just give the tomato plants away if anyone would like them! When they start producing, they make a million little sweet tomatoes.
Okay, I’ve got to work on the book today. My new goals is to make 6,000 more words and finish this puppy up.
That was so much fun and I was excited to be asked to be interviewed.
I feel self-actualized when I have time to take photos, turn them into art, and write! When I’m not able to do them, I feel I haven’t accomplished anything that day. 🙂
Okay, so I’m proofing Her Christmas Wolf Surprise (Lachlan’s Highland Wolf story)–up to chapter 6 now, and working on word count on Highland Wolf–I’m up to 76K, so 4K left to reach the minimum word goal. Yay!
I need to get to work. I should have word count by Saturday and hopefully have the proofing done on the other book and turn it in. Then I’m concentrating on Highland Wolf again and hoping to finish it up at 86K or so by Wednesday. Once I proof it, I’ll hand it over to my beta readers and get started on the next white wolf book. At least this time, I’ll have 3 months to write it, not 2. And hopefully I won’t be sick while I’m doing it!
So yesterday, I was ready to walk to the school, working on Highland Wolf and I hear this noise. I glance at the window. It’s pouring and thundering out. Not supposed to happen. My granddaughter didn’t have a raincoat with her because it wasn’t supposed to rain. I hop in the car, umbrellas for both of us in there, wore my raincoat, pick her up and we still have a walk back to the clubhouse in the storm, but her umbrella isn’t working. I gave her my umbrella and was glad I’d grabbed my raincoat. But I had really planned to walk because it’s going to get beastly again and the temps have been so nice.
I am down to needing 6K for the story for word count, yay! Make that 12K to finish it all up. But I got edits for another book to work on due in 8 days. Which will put me off my game for getting the other daily word count. I finished up two more photos for the magazine, just need one more and the interview and that will be done. I’m off to work!
Have a wonderful day with only good unexpected things to come!
They are so adorable. When I first saw it, I thought my eyes were deceiving me. A brown and white zebra? But then I realized the young ones were brown and white. I thought it was a different species of zebra. So cute!
No baby today. We really have a terrific time. He loves to help me with dumping recycling paper and kitchen scraps in the composter and feeding the birds. My granddaughter helped me spin the composter around and scooped up doggy poop. It’s a great long handled device that actually grabs it, not like when I was a kid and had to try to get it up with a garden shovel. I made sure baby didn’t chase the dogs while in the middle of doing their business. When they hold still, he goes after them. He’s really good with them though. He pets them on the back and he’s so gentle. He will be an animal person for sure when he grows up. He loves watching the birds and squirrels. He loves pointing out the moon. “The moon! The moon!”
And somehow on the two baby days, including my granddaughter for Monday, I was able to get 2,000 words each day. I still have 9,000 to go, but that’s never the end of the story. I usually get around 86-90K by the time it’s done. And I only have 18 days left. I’m hoping to have a week left after I finish it so that my beta readers have a chance to read it.
That’s my goal. I sent half of the pictures to the magazine feature, and need to do another 4 and the interview also. Once I’m done with Highland Wolf, I need to get started on the white wolf book. 🙂
