We switched internet service providers so I was offline for a couple days. I managed not to go insane by starting my new novel. I have thirty fun-filled pages so far. Aiming to hit forty today. I love drafting! I’d go faster if I could but it kills my wrists, boo.
I’m trying to find a cool working title for this one. So far it’s just LONGNIGHT. Snooze. I’m really focusing on characterization in this novel. I know it’s my weakness right now. The two main characters so far are great foils for each other, and they’ve been fun to write because of it.
We’ve been in a crazy heat wave for the past month or so, and it’s finally raining! I’ve never been so excited for rain. Hopefully that will cool things down.
My mother was hospitalized again. What is it about July? She has congestive heart failure and things just keep going down hill. She seems to be holding steady for now, but it’s a trial. She can’t walk three steps without struggling to breathe, but getting the fluid out of her lungs has helped. So if you pray, I’d appreciate you remembering her. I am unsure as to her salvation (and isn’t that true of everyone but yourself? Only God knows the heart).
