This post is part of Lexa Cain's bloghop, Celebrate the Small Things (Lexa has just taken it over from VikLit who has hosted it for the last 2 years). Head on over there to join up!
So, what am I celebrating this week?
I'm tracking to hit my word-count goal for the week, but will have to work all weekend to make it after getting stuck at Auckland Airport on Wednesday night when the plane I was supposed to be on was struck by lightning. I'm enjoying writing this book. It's very different to anything I've done previously in that the whole book takes place over a very, very short timeframe. It's also much more of an adventure piece than anything else I've written. Sometimes it's fun to stretch that writing muscle and do something different.
Next week I'm away for work the whole week and I know I won't get any writing done. But I'm okay with that. I'll pick up where I left off when I'm home again. I won't have the draft finished as quickly as I'd hoped, but it's not a race, right?
Haven't made it to the gym since Monday, so the less we talk about that, the better…. Especially with all the delicious bread I've been making (and eating).
What are you celebrating this week?
Good luck with the word count goal! Enjoyed your "small things" :)
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up! Yay for hitting word count goals, boo for lightning-struck planes, yay for loving your new adventure WIP & for awesome bread! Yum!
ReplyDeletePlane struck by lightening? That's frightening. Yea for the bread.
ReplyDeleteCompleting a draft is not a race. Which is good because I'd totally be losing. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your travels and keep on avoiding those lightning-struck planes (yikes!).
Good luck getting your draft done :)
ReplyDeleteI bet your kitchen smelled great when you were making the bread!
ReplyDeleteIt's not a race to write your draft. It'll get done when it gets done.
Oh no about the plane. I'm glad you're having fun with the book, though. That's always a good sign. I hope your weekend is writing-filled.
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of homemade bread! And I love to eat it too!!! Glad you weren't on that plane!
ReplyDeleteBetter than being on the plane when it was struck by lightning. Hope both your writing and job go well.
