I’ve been working on my manuscript, or running around most of the day. After the funeral I went and got seed, soil, and plants from three different places. The plants are in the ground; but the seeds will have to wait.

What Did I Accomplish Today to Be a Writer?

I did Day 159 of the 100 Words a Day Writing Challenge 2024 through L.A. Writers’ Lab and participated in Quiet Friday. I’m currently working on a piece that I hope to submit to someone who is doing a collaboration with other writers. It’s supposed to be between 1500 and 5000 words. Last week I did a brain-storming session. This week I tried to separate those thoughts into a story structure.

We’ll see what becomes of it.

I also made a lot of progress on my manuscript and then decided to cut about twenty-five percent of it out to save for another project. All the images have been removed, since they need to be reformatted. I was toying with not including them; but I think I have a better idea. It might seem a bit brash to some people; but I think it’s what I will do, and I think once it’s done it won’t be brash at all.

Shall I tell you?

Nope. For now it’s gonna be my little secret.
