Whew, it’s been 10 weeks. Seems like 10 years, LOL.
Only 3 more weeks to go in the Challenge. Although it’s August, I’m still on Act 2 scenes, which is okay. I don’t know if I’ll make my personal goal of 60K words, but since I broke the 40K barrier, I’m definitely going to make the challenge goal of 45K words, and I can’t feel too shabby about that.
I’m writing scenes out of order right now, and I’m finding that I have a mess on my hands. One of my goals this week is to step back and see exactly what I have for my Act 2 scenes. This may slow down my progress but at least I’ll have my sanity.
But for the most part, I’m happy about my progress this week—especially since the day job is still hectic as ever. This was a draining week but I still managed to write for the Challenge.

As we move into Week #11, another great quote from The Writer’s Portable Therapist: 25 Sessions to a Creativity Cure by Rachel Ballon, Phd.
“Don’t feel guilty about being afraid of the blank page. Don’t think you aren’t a writer if you don’t rush to the computer first thing when you get up in the morning in order to face the empty page. Writing is hard work. Filling up an empty page with your thoughts, your pains, your joys, and your creative ideas takes immense courage.”
Here we go again…
