Every year, I think summertime will be lovely without all the commitments of the school year, but I always forget that summer is full of its own commitments. Multiple camps, VBS, Meals on Wheels, family trips, outings with my mentee and with grandparents and friends. Plus we've been pet-sitting a guinea pig all summer. It's all fun, but whew... It's exhausting! And so I have fallen behind on writing.
I leave for camp with my daughter on Thursday. I had hoped to have my second story finished by then, so I could devote the beginning of August to editing and polishing both stories, but I estimate I still need about 10k words to finish, and so far today, I've written zero!
So I'm posting my plans here to have some accountability...
tonight - at least 1000 words
tomorrow - at least 3000 words, plus grocery shopping
Wednesday - at least 3000 words, plus pack for camp
That won't get the story finished, but maybe it'll help me feel less overwhelmed when I get back from camp on Sunday. Wish me luck!
