Started a new book yesterday. No clue about the title, but I think I've got a decent start. Took forever to write because I didn't want to give too
much away. Hoping to do maybe 3 more pages today - slow pace to begin with. If I write 3 pages a day it will be done in what, 3.5 months? I have the whole
thing outlined, so I know what I'm going to be doing. So what's everyone else up to?

Sounds exciting. I wish I could do 3 pages a day. I average around 5 pages per month. I think as long as you have a good outline, strong characters and plot,
you can't go wrong. Good luck.

If I can find a QUIET place to write, I want to totally finish book two of the Sonshine Girls and work on totally rewriting Dead Butterflies. Three pages each
minimum sounds like something I can accomplish. Congrats on your new baby! I think I'll adopt your way of thinking...three pages..vs..so many words. Book
two is finished to the end, just missing a few pages here and there.

I can't seem to find the will to write.

I'm getting married this week so I should probably write my will.

Congratulations, again, on your upcoming wedding, D! And Corrina, I assume since you're working on a new book you're finished with the ghostwriting
stuff, including the script? Three pp a day is great. That would be six for me, as I'm writing to trim size, which is 5 x 7 with my books. Still working on
FALLOUT, which has been hard with all the travel lately, but it's clicked back into gear, and I'm loving what I'm writing, instead of struggling
with it. Must be a good sign.

Oh, yeah, done with that ghostwriting mess. And the script - don't get me started! Got the whole thing done, it was approved, it was filmed - and then they
came back and wanted all sorts of new stuff. And then the editor started calling me for advice about what images to include. Huh? Finally he asked me what my
job title was - which was weird - but when I told him I was the writer of the script, he stopped bugging me. I have no idea what he thought my involvement was,
obviously more than what it actually was. Seriously, he wanted me to go in and edit the film with him. Right. It was very strange, but now that I've had my
taste of it I definitely know what I should not be doing!

Sounds dreadful. I can't blame you for not wanting to do that any more. We don't get paid for any more than just writing the script.
Thanks for sharing.
