Finished

I finished writing the end of Dark Earth. Yippee! Now, I just need to reread what I wrote, add a few more descriptions, and then hand it to hubby to give the okay. Next I have a ton of edits based on hubby's comments then I will give it to a critique partner who laughed at me when I said I'd have it to her by Friday. (Yeah, I'm talking to you Sybir!) :p

Unfortunately, she knows me too well. But with my man out of town for two days, I think it's totally possible. Ha!

Now that my site is finally back up, I'll be posting again and this time regularly. Next, I have my goal list. If I put up here for all to see then everyone can hold me accountable.

I'll leave you with a quote from the character Stewie of Family Guy. Whenever I start slacking off, I hear his voice in my head asking his dog Brian about his novel. It just hits too close to home:

Stewie: How you uh, how you comin' on that novel you're working on? Huh? Gotta a big, uh, big stack of papers there? Gotta, gotta nice litte story you're working on there? Your big novel you've been working on for 3 years? Huh? Gotta, gotta compelling protaganist? Yeah? Gotta obstacle for him to overcome? Huh? Gotta story brewing there? Working on, working on that for quite some time? Huh? (voice getting higher pitched) Yea, talking about that 3 years ago. Been working on that the whole time? Nice little narrative? Beginning, middle, and end? Some friends become enemies, some enemies become friends? At the end your main character is richer from the experience? Yeah? Yeah? (voice returns to normal) No, no, you deserve some time off.
