"Freedom don't come Free" Chapter 14 is done. On to Chapter 15 which is a chapter that has a lot of meat to it and is a very important chapter and turning point in the novel! Now let's see if I can get a decent draft written. I'm moving forward. I have to finish chapter 15 this week (by Saturday). To keep on track.
Kathryn's Hero
(A Military Story)
Being outside both Friday night and Saturday night in the summer leads to mosquitoes! I have at least 25 bits and 12 of them are on my feet ankles which is agony! I itch sooooo bad.
Finished chapter 13 - and finished a major rewrite on chapter 3. Did more editting on chapter 1 & 2. I went back to the first 3 chapteres cause I'm going to try attending a writing event, and I need the first three chapters. 10 chapters left to write. My goal is two chapters a week and finish by end of August with a rough draft.
Kathryn's Hero
(A Military Story)
Been on a reading kick - I think I've read like 3-4 books each week of July so far...Lots of audios, which is part of the reason why. Audios are easy to go through at work.
I like revising better than first draft brain dumps :) It's so much easier for me to get the story really going. I guess changing words in front of you is easier than filling a blank sheet!
So I can't upload them...not idea why, so they are posted on Facebook, friend me if you're not my friend already! I'll try posting them again later...but if not try Facebook. Ah they worked now! Ahh here are some pictures.
FINALLY! Everything is over with (sort of). I still have the Pig Roast in two weeks and I have to teach a make up class this coming Saturday, but otherwise I get to STAY AT HOME. No more traveling. No more spending money! Not that these past weeks haven't been great, I'm just exhausted. I'm so ready for some calmness, and now it's time to get cracking and finish my draft. I'm going to start writing this weekend. Have to prep for Wednesday's class and Saturday's class the rest of this week. I'm so behind with prep work. Will post some wedding pictures soon.

Interviewer: Any last words of encouragement for beginners?
Cynthia Lord: Find the story that only you can tell and tell it in the way only you can tell it.
That's what I've done :) Kathryn's Hero is my story, told in a way only I could tell it.
...the wedding day is almost upon us...
Which yes that means once again you won't be hearing from me this weekend...updates on Monday.
Here some of them are...I'll add comments later...4 hours of sleep last night, a full days work and then unpacking and trying to get some teaching stuff done...yeah just no energy left now. I'm going to bed :D
