On Monday, I was exhausted from the conference, so I didn't get a whole lot done, but I still met my new goal of 1000 words per day and I made it to my Monday night writers' group where I spent the evening organizing the second half of Journey to Artemisia. At the moment, the "second half" is a conglomeration of rough draft pages and scenes that I've written here and there, but didn't yet have a place to put them.
Now they're in order. This morning I woke up, mentally revising the beginning of a friend's chapter she read to the group last night. If that doesn't make me a writer, I don't know what does.
I sent her an email, then started working on Journey to Artemisia around 9:00am. Three hours later, I had well over 1000 words and had pieced together and polished 10 single-spaced typed pages.
At this rate I'll have the first draft finished within ten days. With it that close, I can almost taste it. My energy has shifted tremendously since the conference, like exploding and breaking open a dam. I love it!
