No, I'm sorry, I just work for the family.

Not quite off to a good start
So.... I've written about a paragraph... I did however, go to work, go to the dentist, watch Inglorious Bastards, walk the dog, and clean up my office space. And really, cleaning the office was needed to give me the privacy to write.... That's what I keep telling myself anyway. And I had to watch Inglorious Bastards because we needed to send it ( Read more... ) -
Goal
My goal is to finish my novel before I restart school on August the 26th. That's maybe... 25,000 more words in the next month and a half. I really need to finish! Really! I've edited the first part a bit. Every 10 pages I turn in to my critique group I edit, and then I will have to go back and consider all their suggustions and make changes. ( Read more... )
