Hi guys! The day that shall not be named was ok. Nothing special. Hubs didn't get off till really late and by the time he got home, it was time to lay down with the boy to try to get him to sleep.

I did get an awesome gift from son though. He used the potty 7 times yesterday! Went from nothing the past couple of days to 7 times in 30 minutes lol.

I gave myself a present and sent him to daycare today. Going to clean and get caught up in that department and then write write write!

In regards to the "write department"....GO ERICA GO!!! LOL

I'm working on SNI #2 Lauretta's got SNI #1...wanted to get some pointers on it before I really got writing on it so that I wouldn't have to do MAJOR revisions. I think that SNI #2 will be interesting though!

I'm rootin for ya kiddo!!

erica_henry · 02-15-2011, 06:56 PM

Moni - lol. I totally understand.

I'm going to do some dishes and laundry (think I have the downstairs dishwasher fixed, need to check it) and then I'm going to write! I hope at least. Good luck on your beta notes. Wait so you have Salem and 2 other wips your working on? Did I read that right?

Well....Salem is in the deep freeze right now....but I'll work on it again someday! LOL....SNI #1 is in progress...and now I've got SNI #2....so I guess you could say that I'm working on two WIP's. LOL...

Hi all! I hope everyone is having a great day!

Today I'm working on a VMars marathon to finish season two. The idea of writing in between episodes was a great one. I'm getting a good amount of words down. Woohoo!

I had been trying to clear my mine before writing, but that wasn't working. But VMars has been perfect. Gets me right into teen angst mode. LOL!

So far it's about a girl that became a paraplegic from a school shooting. I have the beginning of it in the SYW section....hint hint! LOL

I'm thinking about weaving in my traditional paranormal tendencies...but haven't decided what way to go with it yet. Working that out in my mind! LOL

I'm decent at multi-tasking....so I think that I can pull this off...besides...don't they always say that while querying one make sure that there's another one at the ready in case they don't like that particular one and then you can offer the other one as an alternative?

Hmm. Interesting. I'll check out the SYW part of it soon. I have tons of other things that have to get done first though (my wip, beta reading that I'm so behind on, house cleaning, etc). Good luck with it. I don't think it would hurt at all to have two ready and waiting.

It's not uber long...only about 600 words or so....it's the really short first chapter. Kinda the "after"....then I'm going to do the "before"....and then go back again to the after. The "before" isn't going to be super long though...only about 2 chapters....then go on to the "after" again for the rest of the book.

I'm behind on house cleaning too....I think that Kenny's FINALLY getting it because now he's not doing exactly what I ask him NOT to do...so I might hafta step up & start cleaning again! LOL

I've just come from there ... and now I found out what happened to her,lol! (Where's your spoiler alert?!

)

erica_henry · 02-15-2011, 08:05 PM

LOL. Yeah, my hubby is horrid at cleaning even when he tries. I sometimes thinks he does it on purpose (like the Everybody Loves Raymond episode). Alright guys. Going to write and I'll be back

KarlaErikaCal · 02-15-2011, 08:17 PM

Still sick and so not ready to go to class today either. I hate it when I have a nasty cough and I end up coughing in class or on the train.... I do cough into my shoulder but I tend to get in coughing fits so probably not a good idea to go to school until my coughing starts to settle down a bit more.

Sorry you aren't feeling well. Keep plenty of water and cough drops with you.

In other news. 400 words in 10 minutes. Not a bad way to start of my writing marathon!

Ah, thanks for the explanation! No worries - it's only by coming to this thread I found out what happened and, like you say, it would all come out in Chapter 2 anyway (& I guessed it might've been something like that or a bomb at school anyway).
