The puppies and I went running this morning and it’s a good thing I got up and got moving because, shortly after returning home, the torrential rain began. Taking the puppies wasn’t one of my better ideas as they wanted to stop and pee on every leaf and twig we passed. Lessons . . .

I’ve been sitting here working on another writing project – a new novel. An hour after beginning, I’ve only got 706 words written. I’m wondering what made me think I could get in 2000 words per hour. Deciding to forge ahead, I managed to get to 1058 but it took an hour an a half which means I’m twice as slow as I thought I’d be. I think I’m done for the day. May tomorrow bring more words my way . . .
