Baby, Sleep Deprivation, Reading and Writing.

Baby Harper made her grand appearance on Monday March 11, at 6:43p. She was 8 pounds, 2 ounces, and 20 inches long and her daddy and I have been strung around her little finger ever since.

Communities.

Something that has been on my mind is community. Building a writing community to be more specific. A group of people who help each other, limping along toward the finish line. I have been working really hard in getting myself out there. Not that I need to be famous or even think that my writing is good enough to be noted. I'm just trying to surround myself with like minded people who I can help, and who can give me a helping hand when needed to achieve this goal.

Just write.

I need to take my own advice today. I have been obsessed with New Girl. Holy Lord is it a funny show. I have been feeling really overwhelmed and preoccupied lately so instead of writing I have been watching that and reading. That's definitely not going to help me to be productive.

Reconstructing

I'm almost 40,000 words into my novel now. Even with the outline, nothing has happened yet. I know that things are going to be happening. Soon. But so far I have 40,000 words of set up and generic relationships.

Because sometimes life throws your curveballs

And you have to be able to adapt. I've been sick since Saturday. Sore throat, chest congestion, bowling ball head, you know the kind. I still got my word count in on Saturday though. Yesterday I did not.
