#RSW2014

Ready. Set. WRITE! is an online writing intensive to help you stay accountable with your writing goals over the summer and provides an opportunity for us to cheer each other on whether planning, drafting, or revising! Your RSW hosts are Alison Miller, Jaime Morrow, Erin Funk, and Katy Upperman. Find the rest of the details HERE.

How I did on last week's goals:

Write every day. No, but I did revise 75 pages on Tuesday while I worked as a judge in the very slow primary election. I'd call that a win.
Read every day. YES!
Return two CP manuscripts to the authors. I returned one, made good progress on the other, and did a lot of client work.
Drink tons of water/go easy on the carbs. So-so.
Work out three times. Whoops, no, but I got one in. That's good, right?

My goals for this week:

See above. Work has been completely insane for the last six weeks or so, and on Wednesday my new boss starts, so hopefully we'll settle into a new routine soon and I can get back to writing during my lunch breaks and not doing so much work-work at home.

A favorite line from my story OR one word/phrase that sums up what I wrote/revised:

Some new words:

There’s a click as he ends the call, and the guilt seeps from my ear, my phone still pressed against it, down to my flip-flops, filling me, spilling over onto the tile floor of the fancy hotel lobby.

The biggest challenge I faced this week: Work plus exhaustion.

Something I love about my WiP: That no matter how many days we're apart, it's still there in its raw beauty, waiting for me patiently, waiting for me to love it and nurture it again. Someday, this will be a book.
