On switching on my computer this morning, after the kids had gone to school, I had grand hopes of writing, oh at least 3 000 words before they came home again.
Instead, I managed 1 569 then allowed myself to be distracted by email, publisher hunting and tidying up my favourites into folders!
Sometimes I want to slap myself stupid. :o)
I'm so close to the end of writing this first draft and yet I end up letting my day slip away. Oh where is that cabin in the woods.....

Anne, I'm the slowest writer in the world so I think 1569 words in a day is incredible! I'm trying to increase my output but it's really hard for me (sort of like teaching an old dog new tricks or something like that...)
Hi Josie.
Don't worry, when I first started writing 8 years ago I was really slow. It would take me all day to write 2 pages.
I don't touch-type either, which I've heard writers should learn how to do to speed up their output.
I use about four fingers. :o)
My ideal target is 3000 words a day, but I rarely reach that and once I'm working full-time, I'm lucky to do that in a week.
So while I'm not working I have to try and finish manuscripts. :o)
Take care
Next week I start working again as a substitute teacher. My son started back to school today and this was the first year he didn't cry (I guess because he's in the 4th grade now - a big boy!) I'm determined to get some writing done while I'm still off work and I have the house to myself! See ya!
