Kai’s book (total): 69,616 words
Kai’s book (new): 1,494 words

I’m taking a break from writing Kai’s book to work on other things. I wrote a 1600-word short story, tweaked the synopsis of Quartz, and began writing an outline of Kai’s book as a road map for getting to THE END. We’re taking the upcoming week off from school (if the public schools are doing it, so will we!) and my writing plan is a healthy mix of submission-type things and for-fun things. More on this later.

Also, some folks over on the HtTS/HTRYN boards have started a Write a Book With Me blog, where you can post your daily wordcounts, and get support and accountability from other writers. They’re holding a contest with a fun prize to inaugurate the new blog, so check it out.

    Now that’s just what I need πŸ˜€
    A road map for getting to The End of my book!
    The word ‘outline’ is off-putting for some reason. ‘Road map’ is something that really makes sense. I like maps…no…I love maps. We have a lot of them and on Tuesdays I work with maps so…Road Map to Morocco here I come. Thanks! πŸ˜€

    Having a mixutre of writing projects sounds a great way to add spice to your writing. And school’s out! so have a great week doing fun things πŸ™‚

      I love maps, too. πŸ™‚ Road map sounds a lot more adventurous and liberating than outline, so that’s the term I’m going to use.

    Sometimes a gal needs a break from a particular project. Congrats on the short! And really, you’re doing awesome on the Kai book. Do you know I’ve never written a book that long (no matter how I’ve tried)? :sighs: Well, you go, girl!

    Been busy editing, writing, and planning. On Sunday, got four handwritten pages of a new short story, “Dancing Lessons;” went through about a dozen old drabbles to edit/cull; plotted out the first two out of five chapters of a novella, Songbreak; went through a bunch of old email; attempted to rescue my computer from a second kaputz; accepted that rescue attempts have temporarily failed, but should get somewhere in a couple days; started preliminary research on a story I’ve wanted to write for a long time on Levi and Jochebed and his sons called Yahweh is Glory. Very fun day.
