Another Miss… Down Three

Not Going Like Other Challenges…

I had expected this challenge this month to be nuts to even try, but I knew if I didn’t push, I wouldn’t write a word the entire month and then wonder what happened.

Yeah, we have all had those sort of months, huh? (grin)

So I planned on having two misses along the way and then writing two stories a day for a couple days toward the end to get back on target. Still planning to do that, but now it needs to be three.

Normally my challenges are all a story a day through the entire month. I knew this one wouldn’t be like that and figured it might be a good one for you all to watch the craziness.

I had done a sort of schedule on a calendar and marked a planned miss day, and three other likely miss days. I am very good at looking out ahead at things. I took off the planned miss day, missed one of the early likely miss days, and had today as a likely miss day as well.

Yup, it happened, missed writing today due to a combination of a bunch of stuff, including not even getting home to have dinner until after 11 p.m. And then having to do the regular workshop assignments.

So I have on my challenge plan a couple days with two stories marked on it. Going to have to figure out where I can take most of a day and just write three stories. Not an issue, just a focus that will make the challenge or not make it.

So in other words, missed today, but still solidly in the challenge of thirty stories in thirty days. Stay tuned.

The Day

Too silly busy to try to detail out. I am behind on some email and will get that caught up tomorrow no issue. And I am getting May workshops on Teachable and will do covers for the challenge as things clear finally this week.

One fun thing today is that a guy brought in a 1955 full set of Tonka Trucks. They were in amazing shape. Unlike the trucks I would have played with back in those days, these had never seen dirt. So we bought the set for $325 and have it on auction on eBay now starting at $900. Full set in amazing condition. Rare doesn’t begin to describe it. So that was fun.
