A Writer's Journey

Hope this blog post finds all of you happy and well. In my last post I announced a challenge that I was taking with a few of my writing friends. For those of you trying to keep tabs, I have done as well as, let's just say 20,000 words. I am not near the word count that I should be at right now. In fact I'm down about 20,000 words. :-(

In my defense, (if I have one) I was out of town for a couple of days. Not that, that really matters. I should've been workin' those fingers to the bone, but I just couldn't. I was spending time with family that I rarely get to see. I couldn't make myself go to that place that I need to be when I'm writing and pass up that time with my awesome family!

So here I am, back at home and where do I find myself? With my nose in a book or my eyes glued to the Facebook page. Checking emails repeatedly... like every couple of seconds. No I'm not procrastinating. Not at all!

So here I find myself standing on the edge of that airplane again, waiting to take the jump. But I am determined to reach my goal, so here I go!!! I'm just gonna do it! Get my butt back in that chair, fingers thrumming the keyboard, i-Pod firmly secured in my ears and you guessed it, Gary Allan singing his loves songs to me! :)

If you want up-to-date progress on my writing, you can always check the progress bars on my blog site. I am currently working on The Runaway Bride of Cobblestone Creek. I do try and make the changes to them daily as the words add up.

Feel free to leave some encouraging words for me! ;0

Love all of you! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
