Kerri's Progress Notes:
Yesterday, "so so" on the writing. The only reading I did was editing so I didn't count that. Lots of big editing projects coming up for the remainder of the month. Will my writing time be affected? We shall see.
Everyone is rocking it. Keep those fingers moving and give those wrists a loving massage each night. Don't get too sore and tired. One week down!

Marie's Note: Yesterday I drove and sat at a restaurant, had a nice lunch, watched the sea and wrote pages and pages (probably about 3000 handwritten, but I won't officially count until I type in) I came home to find my landlord had cleared out one of my garden flats that I'd just seeded. I can't say much, I'm behind on rent because I don't have my government widow benefits (hows that for a mouthful of cinders and words) but it had me curled up in the fetal position and I'm going to be stuck eating dry toast and drinking protein shakes for a few days as I scramble. So upset I couldn't get out of bed this morning and write but I will write here at the library. Yeah for Google docs!

Progress notes--slowing down a bit, because this is a story of which a big part exists already, and I have to make sure everything makes sense together. Also, exciting news. :)

Hello Writers!
I just put in over a K of easy words. I may be finding my groove.
One of my characters found a body. She reported it and a newspaper article mentioned her name. She is a stalking survivor and her stalker now knows where she is.
I brought back some of the characters from a previous novel to help her out.

I am still plugging along with The Testament. Wishing after waking up to snow, I could take a quick trip to South America and help the guy in the book locate a missionary.
I'll be back, tomorrow. Don't touch anything sharp.

The writing is getting harder. I keep procrastinating on it. And I think I've figured out why. It occurred to me this morning that I don't like my hero...he's coming across too wimpy. Hmmm, no wonder I don't want to spend time with him!
I wrote 905 words yesterday. Had to go teach a small class at a local middle school. And had a dental appointment. I broke a cap.
Almost finished with Lover At Last.
