Well, I did manage to bust out the old notebook and do some writing this weekend. I set a pretty optimistic goal of 3000 words for myself, hoping I could somehow keep my weekday average. I didn’t hit my goal, but I did manage around 1800 words. Meh. Hopefully I can pick up the pace this week. As usual, life, fatigue, and a killer ice hockey game I played in last night kept me from writing as much as I would have liked. I desperately want to hit the 10,000 word mark today, because dang it it’s an extra zero!
At some point I would like to post an excerpt of my work here, so look for that.

I sort of took a cue from you in writing the novel down bit, but no moleskin notebook. I just took a pad of yellow legal paper and sat down to write. Come on, if a hack writer like me can get to 16,000 words I’m sure a better writer like you can break 10,000.
You can do it, Paul. Keep writing.
Paperback writer, welcome to the world of non-technology. Actually, I am a tech person but it is just more convenient for me to write by hand.
Karen, thanks for the encouragement!
I think I like the world of non-technology, but I’m just so damn fast at the typing! Maybe I should bust out the old fashioned typewriter instead….
