Rats. Tired Again!

Uh huh. But I slightly exceeded my minimum words for the day and got my new chapter to a spot where the next one isn't totally out of the blue. I'm at 52K and typically when I hit 60K or so the story doesn't get any bigger. That's the tipping point where I have enough plot. There rest is fixing crap, adding needed detail and depth and then writing the ending. Which I always do very very last. It's the only chapter, usually, that doesn't get multiple versions.

Next week my son class is at a camp thing where they do restoration work on a creek and hike and stuff. All week. Monday though Friday. Let me repeat that just so I can feel the tingle again. He's at camp Monday through Friday. He's so excited, but he's never been away from home that long and I know he isn't going to miss me at all. I'll miss him, but I'm going to be writing like a fiend from the time I get home from work to whenever. I have a soccer meeting Monday evening (rats!) but other than that, I have some extra hours for writing coming up. I meet with my prof this week. Last session's brain storming was really helpful.
