Kerri's Progress Notes:
Had a rough weekend with the sick kid and having to hobble through a Youth group party and a picnic for hubby's work. I'm exhausted and Sunday was a rain all day, kids stuck inside, hubby out of town exhaustion fest. But I managed to squeeze in my words by pawning the kids off on a Wii. Bad mommy, Happy writer!
Hope you all had a great weekend.

Sally says don't touch anything sharp.
@Barbara~
Vampires are hot. I hear you on Friday. No one asked but I told anyway. Love Evanovich. Laugh out loud.
@Jordan~
There you are! Missed you. Your word count continues to shock me. Fabulous.

Oooh...a different project. This cabinet sounds creepy. Count me in!

I didn't do any writing today because I realized I had a plot problem. It is a problem that affects the entire book. So after some initial panic and telling myself that I can figure this out, I've been taking time to do some research and hopefully, work things out.
I think this is where being a pantser vs a plotter can be a disadvantage. To get to 11,000 words and realize I may have a significant problem is harder to fix in prose than it would be in an outline.
So my plan this week is to continue writing while working out the rest of my plot. At this stage I am feeling that having a plan will help.
Book: The Dark. Lady
2 Chapters Completed: Yes
Today's Book Note: Safe for the moment.
@Cynthia~
Yes, planning can be good and it may be the method for you but be sure you get a scene in mind and work on it while you plot out other scenes. Don't spend too much time planning and no time writing.
I know you can do this. I believe in you!
I'm going to close the comments on Day #14.
