How did I lose a day here?  I think I meant to log on and comment and thought I did.  Too much housework, too little time.  More on that on the Day 23 notes.

But Monday was a down day with the writing progress.  Bummer!

I'm kinda back. I had 2 weeks worth of lesson plans to writeup first. Took longer than I wanted.

Did some edits on the Assassin's Soul Prologue I'm adding, about 50 new words.

Reading - I caught up on 5 months worth of RWR's.

Had fun celebrating my youngest's 9th birthday.

Today it was hard to write fiction as I spent so much time updating my social media with information on my short story, "Lawrence Frightengale Investigates" that was published in the Closet Capers Anthology released today! It's my second published short story and I'm so excited to see it in print.

Book: Emma Whitewood (working title)
Today's total word count: 0 words

Book: The Dark Lady
2 Chapters Completed: No
Today's Book Note:

I will have to make up for my lack of reading and word count tomorrow. Tonight I had to run from work to take my daughter ice skating. I tried to write while I was there but it was so noisy that I couldn't hear myself think.

I got home and needed to catch up on some writing classes. It is 11:11PM and my eyes are wanting to close as I type. So, I am logging a 0 word count for today.

@Barbara~

You are amping up the word count as we round the curve into our last week! Good stuff!

@Beth~

Welcome back, Beth! Hey, you should see my stack of periodicals to get caught up on. I throw them away if I get more than 2 months behind. It just gets to be too much!

@Aidee~

Congrats on the word count, but more importantly---congrats on the release! I will definitely check it out. You can count on it! Squeeeeee!

@Teresa~

Back on track, I see. And the new box set sounds fab!

@Cynthia~

I had a day like this on Monday as well. It happens. Get back on the horse and ride on.

@Lynnette~

There you are! I got your e-mail and will be responding shortly. Behind on everything after my cleaning/cooking fest of Monday. More on that in my progress notes. Good luck on the black moment!
