I had an hour or so to write this morning and added about 800 words to my novel WIP. The total word count is now just over 60k.
Seven miles and change this morning. It’s been over a week since my last paddle, so I was just stretching my muscles, thinking about technique, and watching dolphins.
I had an hour for writing between the gym and a shift at the running store this morning. I finished the ending of one chapter and fleshed out a scene in the next—adding about 650 words. #writingcommunity #indieauthor
I was happy that I actually sat down at the keyboard this morning. I was unhappy that, after about 400 words, I had to leave for my shift at the running store.
Somewhere in the midst of the day’s activities, I managed to add about 500 words to my novel WIP.
Our self-imposed dry-in-July is over. I traditionally try to make my first drink a kolsch and was successful in procuring Gaffel’s authentic beer.
