mmerriamNo school for me today. Last night's storms knocked out the power to the area where my school is located, so classes were called off and everyone was sent home. They actually called me, but by then I was on the bus and all the way to the Uptown station. I rode the rest of the way in, went inside to verify there would be no classes, then caught a bus back home.
I meant to spend the entire day writing, but let the daily ordinariness of life get in the way. I didn't actually sit down to write until almost 1:30. I stopped when![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
careswen got home, and we had some dinner. Then I was off to mow the lawn. Finally I sat down again at around 5:30. I just stopped a few minutes ago at 7:00. I did a quick check and discovered to my pleasant surprise I put down 640 words on "Move Along Home".
I have almost talked myself into going ahead and rewriting the outline and turning this piece into a novel. This makes me happy, because I finally seem to have a novel to write. It also makes me a little sad, because I know that first novels almost never sell, and I think I have a good story. I'll just have to make sure it is a good enough to sell itself to an editor unsolicited when the time comes. I finished the outline for "Rainfall" last night, so I plan to give that story some attention this week, as well as getting either "The Foundling" or "Darkly Through The Light Waters" ready for the workshop.
Busy, busy, busy
