\"RaysI’m still here.<\/p>\n

It’s been a busy time with work…and a busy time writing. (Also, it’s been remarkably rainy for August in Texas.)<\/p>\n

I cannot complain…especially about the rain and being busy writing.<\/p>\n

A Change in Schedule<\/h2>\n

I normally wake up very early to write. I still wake up early, but I’ve not been writing in the mornings. August has found me writing during lunch breaks and sometimes again in the evenings.<\/p>\n

It’s strange to be up early and not writing, but…I’ve not been up as<\/em> early as usual this month. (I’ve been waking up between 6:00 and 6:30, instead of the usual 3:30 to 5:00). It’s been nice easing into new days reading the previous day’s writing and plotting where to go next.<\/p>\n

The Book<\/h2>\n

The ridiculous optimist in me still thinks, “This draft will be done by Labor Day!” but the realist in me is more like, “It will be done in later September.”<\/p>\n

Right now, as new ideas hit, I’m running with them. Each week in August, I’ve thought, “I’ll be into the already-written stuff by week’s end,” but new chapters keep happening.<\/p>\n

It’s felt good to be writing daily and seeing an end in sight.<\/p>\n

So…if you don’t hear from me until September, you know why…<\/p>\n

As of August 19, I’ve had 25 writing sessions for the month…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
