Shots Across the Bow

Update on the Novel

It sucked. In fact, it sucked so bad, I junked it. Yep, the whole thing, every word I'd already written is now trash canned and I've started all over from the very beginning.

And I think it's going to be worth it.

Not only was the first one bad, and I mean really bad, it was hard as hell to write and was going very slowly. In three days, I wrote just over 2000 words. Today, after junking the original and going in a completely different direction, I reeled off 3300 words, and they don't suck!

Well, they don't suck quite as badly.

Now all I need are 9000 more words by Sunday night and I'll be back on track! Or if I completely refigure, I need 2180 words per day to hit 60,000 by the 30th, and that gives me a little cushion.

Yeesh!

It is the job of government to protect its members from the actions of others. It is not the job of the government to protect its members from their own actions. That's the difference between being a citizen and a subject.

Bible Verse of the Day

“Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.”
