A better day than yesterday. Have been able to blog and visit some blogs. Hoping to get some writing done. It's been a week. I hate being sick.

How's it going?

Hi all. I've gotten about 2K today. I don't know that I'll write anymore until tomorrow. I had to kill off my MC's sister and it was so draining! Then my MC got into a car crash she was so distraught. That wasn't planned, but she went with it so I did too.

I feel lost now I always knew the sister would have to die, that's part of MC's developement and growth. But I hated actually doing it.

I understand how you feel. In my last MS I killed off the MC's ex-boyfriend who she was still in love with and I had to stop writing for two days after that. I couldn't get over it. I just put it behind me and kept going, but good luck with that!

Ooh, that has me very curious! I've never read anything where the MC was killed during the story, I don't think.

HEY,Y"ALL!


I hope everyone is blessed,writing a thousand words per day,and having agents beating down their doors!

I am back on my query stroll. I've edited this novel to death. I am STILL trying to handle my out of control word count habit. I just sent 5 queries,so my fingers are crossed,lol.

To everyone that is querying,subbing,or just writing,I send you positive vibes!

Hello to all! Good luck to those of you querying.

I'm totally watching Labyrinth right now. Just got to THE song. Are you ready for it? Picture David Bowie with a rockin' white mullet, wearing TIGHT spandex (*ahem* package *ahem*) and now sing....You remind me of the babe...

Top O' the Mornin' to ya (did I write that right? Always wondered how to write it)

today is a writing day. NO PLAYDATES!!! So need a break. We've had something going on everyday for like 2 weeks. I need a break. Today is a writing/cleaning/food shopping day and that's it. Girls better behave for me!!! Okay, back to writing. I'd like to get a couple of K done today. This WIP is taking me too damn long. so hard to get anything done when with the kids all day. by end of night, my brain is fried.
