Today has been great!
We celebrated Phil's birthday mostly today because he works tomorrow. And we just watched a bunch of movies and I made some yummy food. I made rice and fried chickpeas which is surprisingly amazing then I made some edible cookie dough for Phil.
I did a bunch of writing today, not as much as when I'm home alone but I managed to write my challenge goal today.
I'm writing two new short stories and I'm excited to see how they come out. One will be about a scarecrow monster and the other is darkness as the evil. It should be interesting to write. I'm trying to push myself to write things in my style but out of my comfort zone. It went so well with the Purple Door. I mean people said they didn't want that one to end and that they loved it. I love it, it's one of my favorite pieces right now and I would totally write more of it if I didn't think it was so perfect as is. Now to write two new pieces that I feel the same way about. I already did the brainstorming for them but I think I will outline them tonight too. Or tomorrow, I'm getting pretty tired tonight.
I'm just trying to finish up the words for today so I can go to sleep. It was hard to get to 1500 words today with Phil home. He doesn't like the sound of typing and I wanted to hang out with him because of it being his day off and birthday tomorrow, so that meant handwriting most of what I did and that was hard. I did a lot of planning though.
Like I planned those two stories and I planned the next three chapters of In between our stars. I don't usually write ahead with that book but I'm enjoying the basic plotting that I'm doing right now. It is making it easier to keep the story straight over a few chapters so maybe I'll do this more often.
I just realized I didn't do my purple or blue books and that will take me over the word count so I'm going to do those and go to sleep.
