We spent some time in August and September in Oregon including probably my favorite place in the world: Manzanita. I had lots of alone time to walk the beach, pick up shells, visit with sea stars and sea gulls and watch pelicans skirt above the waves. It was truly wonderful.
For some reason, though, I just stopped writing and I didn’t get back to the laptop until a few days ago. On the positive side, the plotting work I’ve been doing seems to be paying off and I feel like I’m moving forward again in a more productive way.
AND I just reached the 25,000-word mark which I’m going to pretend is half way even though it probably is quite a bit short of half way. At any rate, it’s as far as I’ve ever achieved on a novel Work in Progress, so I am definitely celebrating!
