~*~*~*~
My writing corner of the sofa at the beginning of the day …
… and again at the end of the day!
A peep into my diary on a “normal” day.
This picture could be called “Planning the Details of a Novel”!
And this picture … ? This picture is all about watching the wordcount climb. There’s more to a story than a wordcount. But it’s important for a story that’s going to be a novel when it grows up to have ENOUGH words.
I do a lot of type-type-typing (at the kitchen table) …
Who says a scribbler’s life is glamorous? I trail the power cables of my laptop behind me (back there behind the sofa) …
… but the result of the typing and the trailing of the power cables is … a story!
Loved this post.
So excited for you, praying still….and as SOON as that book is available for purchase, let me know! I humbly request that you autograph it as well, heh.
Oh … you’ll be one of the first to know when I’m done!
Fun post!! I can’t wait until we can start proof-reading, you keep dropping tnatalising hints about bits you won’t tell us about yet!
He, he, I wonder who word-counts more – you or us?!?
Thank you, Lady G. Your enthusiasm is encouraging! And I hope you’ll like all those bits I won’t tell you about yet …
Yo! It must be very exciting for you to write books but it is exciting for me to know you and wait for your books to be published!
Hmm, autograph…good idea, hadn’t thought of that! 
Praying for you as you work on the book and look forward to any others that you may write in the future; may God bless you and all your work. Also excited about seeing you and your family soon!
Aww … thank you, you’re so sweet! I hope you’ll like “The Abolitionist”!
And thank you – lots! – for your prayers …
Can’t wait to see you and your family too – the week after next!!!

Rome wasn’t built in a day – keep your head down and heart up, and we’re soooo looking forward to reading it!
