I think it's because my brain is working on getting stuff on the page and not on what the setting looks like or anything else. I'm trying to get more of that on the page this time - not just to stretch myself but also to help bulk up the word count:) I've missed a couple of days of writing but I'm sitting a little under 14000. I'm hoping to get caught back up tomorrow while the kids are in school - and as I'm part of an online group that has a 'contest' tomorrow for the most words written during the entire day I'm hoping to kick some butt!

You've gotten *so* much done! Congratulations! and super yay to supportive families. Hi Heather,

I can't seem to work any dialogue in, my main character seems to be just spewing forth a lot of narrative. It feels like a journal! Although I'm a writer by profession (web copy, press releases, etc.), I've never done anything like this. I kicked major booty and got caught up to 15,000 words last night after taking the weekend off. This has been a great experience, I can't believe how supportive my hubby and children are being through all this! Good call on making sure to go at your own pace. Looks like this is the type of thing that can really chew people up. I'm sure you can do it though! How funny!

Glad I'm in good company! (And cutting yourself some slack is ALWAYS a good thing. Oh, and one more thing ... my mom asked me for your cookbook for Christmas. Too cool. Will be buying it very soon.)
