Disappointing
I was so excited to get started on my new story on Monday, and I wrote 1134 words. I haven’t worked on it since Monday. I wanted this to be a book that I actually wrote quickly. My friend, Shawna, wrote 10,000 words last week. I never have written that many words in one week, but a lot of writers write many words on a regular basis. I will probably be doing my scoring job in another month or two so wanted to get a lot done during February.
We put our house up for sale so another thing that took time this week. We are selling it ourselves so we spent time making up flyers for it. I want to take my husband out for lunch today for an early birthday celebration. They are saying that our area might get several inches of snow tomorrow plus freezing rain and sleet later today. I plan to write this morning as soon as I get my 30 minutes on the treadmill done and Amanda off to her program. Wish me luck. 
Wear Red today for Women - it’s all about heart disease. I went to the doctor this week for a yearly checkup and received good news. She cut my dosage of high blood pressure medication to half the amount. My blood pressure was actually low. The number one killer of women isn’t cancer but heart disease.
Thanks for visiting on Wednesday - next guest author is Autumn Jordon. She will be here on February 10th!
Have a great Friday and weekend!

10k ???? I’ve never written that much in a week either. Some people are just naturally prolific writers.

Maybe you and I don’t have to do as much revising.
Thanks, Jennifer, for stopping by!

Don’t beat yourself up too much because you have a lot of projects going on. Good luck on all of them.

Thanks, Leni. I did write today and hope to again later tonight.

You’re juggling a lot of balls, Diane. Maybe writing fast isn’t going to happen for you right now. I love it that you’re writing! Hope you have a nice weekend!

Hi Sarita,
I’m happy to be writing again, too. I’ve been busy promoting Whitney in Charge and Marrying Mallory so feels good to write something new.
Hope your writing is going well.
Better get off here - hubby’s b-day is today so have food to fix.

10K - wow. I might have done that during NaNoWriMo, but still, that’s draining. Good for Shawna! I’m lucky if I can get between 1-2K words in a day (its hard with a 3 year old nagging me)
Feels good to be back writing, doesn’t it?

Diane, you WROTE. In the chaos we call life, sometimes that in itself is all the accomplishment we can hope for…and you have 1134 words now that you didn’t have before. So…congratulations, well done, and PLEASE stop comparing yourself to someone who isn’t living your life.
Pep talk over…and all the very best of luck with the house sale!
Hugs,
Linda
