Hi JFriday, welcome back.
I've been here on and off doing Kidlit Summer School. The 30m dares have been great for exploration for my novel. I on vacation next week so I'll be off but then back just as the kids school starts.

Good Morning! I'm back.
Kids' school starts today. So my goal for this week is to just practice getting up at 5am and being able to free-write.
Hope you all are writing away.

I'm here! Working on revisions for a current YA.

[darshana Posts: 315 Status: Offline WWW]

Hi JFriday - hope your revisions are coming along nicely.

Waking up at 5am is really hard, but I did it. :-)

Good for you, darshana! You beat me by a half hour.

Happy writing, everyone.

Good morning, Melissa, Darshana, and JFriday! I wrote a lot yesterday, now that we've caught up after being gone, and I have a few more writing days before we leave again (oh, those triple-digit temps above 110!), and am always amazed at how many revisions that can be made to a picture book text. 

Happy writing, all, and have a lovely weekend!

Aloha,
Tori

good morning - i did wake-up at 5am-ish sort of. decided to lay in bed and just "think" about my new PB story, didn't work. i learned to brainstorm i need to have a pencil and paper. but then later while my husband was watching of the mini-video clip of our kids as toddlers for the umpteenth time (our kids are now elementary-aged) i got a new PB idea and will be attempting to story boarding it later since it is a one-word book! weird how our brains work, especially since the video clip is one i have seen many times as well over the years.

Happy Friday!

That's cool, Darshana. Isn't it awesome when inspiration comes out of the old and well-known and habitual parts of life? For some reason it always feel like an extra surprise. (Also, a one-word PB: fun.)

Tori, I hope you stay cool and get a lot done while you're home.

I'm checking in.

Checking in. Just took a break and walked the dog before it got any hotter. Hi Melissa.

[JFriday Posts: 596 Status: Offline]

It's not early, but I'm here...

[Melissa K Posts: 711 Status: Offline]

I'm also not early, but I'm going to try to squeeze in a few minutes of writing before the family gets up.

[JFriday Posts: 596 Status: Offline]

I'm here! Happy writing day to all!

[Melissa K Posts: 711 Status: Offline]

I made it this morning. Woo hoo! Happy weekend!

[Tori Posts: 536 Status: Offline Don't we all wish we could get the last word? WWW]

Happy weekend, indeed, Melissa! I'm just stopping by before doing some revision. We're heading out again Wednesday for a few weeks....goodbye to triple digits...but I'm taking my notebook, of course.

Happy writing, everyone!

Aloha,
Tori
