Okay, on to my update. My goal was to reach 50k by Friday. Which I missed...by one day! I hit 50k on Saturday instead. My day to cram it all in didn't work out and writing time can be incredibly difficult to find with my kids. Thankfully my awesome husband, as a V-Day gift to me, took all four kids out for four hours all by himself so I could have me time. Which I desperately needed. I can't remember the last time I had the house all to myself. I was able to reach my goal and made some great headway in the first draft.
My goal for the rest of this month is to have the first draft finished. I was hoping to start revisions after, but I think I might need a little break after I'm done with the draft.
That's awesome that your husband took your kids out for four hours. As a mom to two young children, I can definitely say that quiet time to write is a rare and precious commodity.
ReplyDeleteThat's great you got to your 50K goal.
The fact that you only missed the 50k by one day is awesome. And I love that your husband was so thoughtful. That me time is so important. Good luck on your goals for the rest of the month! Glad you're doing Writer Recharge with us :)
