Ugh. Only 236 words so far today. I’m glad yesterday was a productive one.
p.s. The cake was horrible and I threw it out.

Hmm. Okay, it’s lunchtime, and I haven’t written a word yet. I suppose I could cut myself a little bit of slack, but this is a good use of my lunch hour. I’m kind of in “fear of a blank page” mode because I started a new chapter in a new .doc file.
I am also trying to figure out if the new chapter should just continue right from where the old one ended. I could go either way right now. Maybe I’ll just have a piece of cake.
Back to the grind. I voted this morning. Man, our current mayor might be the cutest guy I’ve ever met in person. I swear, if he doesn’t win the election today, he should go into show business.
The cool thing is that because his opponent lives in my neighborhood, he was actually at my polling place this morning. As Mookie and I were leaving, I gave him a thumbs up to let him know I voted for him, and was rewarded with a HUGE smile and a wave. Ahhhhhh.
In novel news, the first 10k words was about 31 pages. I think the goal is to have 200 pages (well, the goal is 50,000 words, but…) so at 50k works, I’m on target for only 150 pages. I wonder what I’m doing wrong? I’m using 12 point fonts with 1 inch margins. Oh, and there is a lot of dialog, so you’d think I’d have MORE pages, rather than less. Oh well, I’m stopping that first file at 31 pages and putting chapter 4 (yea!) into a new file. I don’t want my Word files getting too big.
