Yesterday, I solved a writing problem I had: how to write a 1st POV character who can neither talk nor think. I have a solution that works for me. And it works for a beta reader. Keep going… #writing #character
Good deed done. I gave the young guy who always serves me breakfast here at the Marriott a copy of “Last Call”, Apparently, he likes to read. So, you never know when you get a fan. #writing #reading

Moving right along. Another 500 words. This time in 20 minutes. That’s more like it. Time to run some errands. #writing #sprint
Another 30 minutes, another 500 words. Another break. #writing
First sprint of the day done. 500 words in half an hour. Not my fastest, but I’m not pushing myself with this book. #writing #sprint
