Working on some WIP’s
Today the kids had the day off from school so my oldest went to spend the night at a friend’s house and her friend’s sister came over to spend the night with my second oldest so we had a different day for sure! So I needed to work on something pretty simple. Well, I was cleaning up some stuff and found my daughter’s Girl Scout patches that needed to be sewn on. So I grabbed some thread and a needle and got those patches all sewn on! That was something brainless that I could do while they played. While that wasn’t one of the things I listed, it was something that was needing to be finished!
On another note, I stated rereading my novel from November. I was mainly just going through and noticed some typos and a few wrong details and then I added some in. I was looking at Casablanca Authors (which I found by following Toni Andrews over on Twitter) and they mentioned how they were looking for people to submit novels or portions of their novel and they wanted it to be at least 90,000 words. So looking back at mine, I’m under 80,000 words. So if I want to submit it in the future, I think I’ve got more I need to add!
But in looking at my other novel, one I wrote years ago and not only did I find a huge section of it was gone, but it barely had 13,000 words! I was thinking it was a lot longer, but I guess not! I’m not sure what happened to the section that was gone, but I will probably be rewriting it anyways since it’s not near long enough. I guess it’s a good short story, but I want to really work on it and make it much better.
So that’s my update for today. I hope to get my purse measured and get the fabric cut for it so I can line it. I plan on finishing my quilt, I need to do that in between laundry too. The month is almost gone, can you believe it? How much have you gotten done?
