Yesterday was a waste, writing-wise.... didn't write a word. Ran kids back and forth, and read a book.

But today, I got 2700 words, plus a bunch more long-hand that I will type in and count tomorrow.

Including the long-hand words, I'm over the 50k mark... a huge accomplishment for me, since it's the first time I've gotten past the initial 10k words on a book since my first manuscript.

And the best part is they're good words, and the characters keep surprising me, in good ways. So, I'm tickled. And the heroine is in the middle of the confrontation with her folks... such fun. And I have several ways she can get out of this mess, so it'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

But #1-son is ticked at me. I'm tired that I have to keep taking him back and forth to work, and tired that at 18 he isn't putting forth any effort to get his driver's license on his own... so I'm torturing him (same concept as torturing characters... what's the worst I could do?) by making him drive the stick-shift car rather than letting him practice on my minivan. <grin> Such fun. Just as with characters, I have to get back at him how I can. :-) And I can even say it's for his own good! :-)

Beyond that, rainy day... good for yard, but I'm tired of it.
