Missed two days of writing last week, but I still got 16 handwritten pages in. The rest of it was previously written material. Not too bad. Not sure how many typewritten pages that turned out to be, but I was able to submit the 1st 30 pages for my CWII class. Here's hoping I have better movement this week.

Today's word of the day is brought to you by Sunday Scribblings: <strong>Life Swap</strong>



After reading Shel Silverstein's autobiography for my ACL class, I would life swap with him. But only certain parts:



~ Endless travel



~Homes in different places



~ Camping out in the conference room of my publisher to take over the production of my book (if I was going the traditional route, that is) and… Continue
