I'll continue with my New York trip next week... oh stop crying sewedel ... be a man!

We're going to a reunion party of the trip tonight, I'm hoping to get some REAL photos to share.

1. I wrote 1,250 words yesterday on TBS. Not to mention fleshing out my outline a bit more. It makes me VERY HAPPY! I think this story is really coming together. Hoping to finish by August for a few beta readers. We'll see.

Word Count:
19,523 of 70,000 words (28% finished).

2. Have you ever gone to bed and your mind is furious with thoughts on your WIP. Last night my brain was CRAZY with ideas. Even if I had a notebook by my bed I couldn't have kept up. I tried to jot it all down this morning, but I'm sure I missed some gems. Wish I had a way to record the brainwaves. You know?

3. One of my older twin daughters really impressed me the other day. I was VERY proud of her. A boy asked her to 'go out'... that means 'go steady' to us older folks. She wasn't certain at first, but decided she'd like to get to know him. But after a month, she just didn't have any feelings for him. He was a very nice young man.

My daughter wouldn't break up with him until she could do it face to face. Wow! When I think of all the chatting, texting, emailing... even phoning... I was pleasantly surprised to see she wanted to tell him in person. I bet that doesn't happen too often nowadays.

4. My wife surprised me by painting our entire bedroom while I was in NYC. She'd been wanting to do it for years. It looks great! I was shocked... but very pleased. That was an awful lot of work. She even did the ceiling.

5. For Inspiration: "Cowbell... You Need More of It."
