The Dry Spell

I had been doing so well. Every day, something was written on the novel. Every day, we moved a little further forward on getting certified for foster adopt. I had really be impressing myself. The last month though, it’s been a crawl.

What happened? The list of excuses is legion and sometimes legitimate. My parents came to visit. We took a long weekend trip. I caught a nasty bug. There are deadlines at work that need to be met. The end result is that I got out of the habit of working on the novel and filling out paperwork.

I have to finish Chapter 3 which is a difficult exposition-filled chapter where I need to give the reader a lot of information in an entertaining way. I have to get a fence built around my pool, attend a Water Safety class, measure all the rooms in my house, come up with a budget, get Livescan checked, ask some people for references, and sign here and here and here and here and here.

Doesn’t sound like too much, does it?

Okay.

Okay, today.

I’m off!
