Whew! Back to School Night was Tuesday, and it left me drained. Having to give 2 speeches will do that to me. An introvert writer who hates public speaking?! Who would have guessed?! Plus just being there for 5 hours was a lot.
So today I didn’t do much. Just necessities, like getting my kid off to school, ordering groceries, and saving an unaccompanied toddler from running into the road. (She had Houdini-ed her way out of her house.)
However, my overall progress on Veritas has been good. I am past the halfway point, so I can see the end.
Some of the remaining scenes will be among the hardest to fix, but I feel that the thought and fixes I have put into the scenes leading up to now will help guide me correctly through them.
I hope to get back into it today, and continue to chip away. I will have a pretty clear week ahead to make headway.
Then the Book Fair will be upon us and that week will see little writing. But that’s okay, because it will be full of kids with books!
Now that we are settling into school, I hope to settle into a writing rhythm where I can get something done every day.
I usually set my goal to a chapter a day. For me, that’s about a thousand words. When I am revising, I very often can get more than that done, but by setting realistic, achievable goals I feel better about my progress.
