Tired

I really, really am. Taking a three year old over to get a root canal(his second) and a few cavities done on one quadrant…is beyond tiring. How many more quadrants to go?…. *sigh* I’m finally home and he’s actually playing…which truly astounds me. Kids are astounding, you know that?

This morning I had good news, I’d lost another 3 pounds! So that made my day. And I found the marathon I want to participate in come October. =) I’ve put the link to the marathon in my south beach log. I’m having so much fun thinking about it and working out!

I also wrote like a mad woman this morning excited to get some more scenes down on paper. Funny thing was, I then connected a few scenes I’d written earlier that are still there but made some major alterations. Something which always happens and is a method that really works for me–when I think of a scene I know I want in there, I write it down knowing that many elements are likely to change when I get that far but its like a check point if you will…it helps me learn my plot and characters better. So this morning went like this: write, write, write…connect, delete, blend, delete, blend, write, connect, delete, blend, delete, write, delete…. see the pattern here? Well, when I had to stop and get the day rolling, I looked down at my word count to record it and… I was 2,000 less then where I’d started this morning.

LOL, *sigh* yes, such is life. I’m not disappointed cause this is how my writing always seems to go. I understand it but I actually thought this morning that with all the writing I’d done first, I’d be way above what I’d deleted. But nope. So I’m going to try and find the energy to write another 2000 words tonight after I do the lovely bills. (Yuck) I have several scenes dying to get rough drafted so it should be pretty simple and this will keep me on track.

Okay to get on that.  Hope you all are having a good start to your week!
