Diary of a writing project. Day 39: the first act key points

This week word count goal: 32 500 words

Diary of a new writing project. Day 37-38: Shifting writing routine

It is a lovely office.

And these days, I can’t sit there.

Day 37: writing before dawn

My dear laptop friend is actually a borrowed one.

It belongs to my hubby-to-be. He doesn’t need it often, except when he does. And when he does, I have to use the old noisy PC stuck in a corner of his not-so-big office.

So, I woke up early (I am use to it, kiddo is very early bird) and wrote a bunch.

I was happy with the results and was looking forward to the evening writing session.
After putting the kiddo to bed, I should have taken my bottom back in that office and finish what I worked on earlier.

Oh dear how that did not happen!
