Third Story Finished and April Workshops Starting

ANOTHER GOOD DAY…

Got the short story challenge going strong. Finished a third short story tonight and finished up another chapter on the Magic Bakery book.

A good solid day and a lot of fun.

The Day…

Got up to WMG by 2 p.m. and worked on covers for a couple of my collections and a bunch of workshop stuff.

Also took a long walk to get steps.

Then home to cook dinner and do the assignments for the workshops.

Then off to watch The Voice.

Back here around 2 a.m. and I wrote the chapter of the Magic Bakery.

Then around 3 a.m., I went for half-titles to get started. I found a half title from an old magazine. “A Deal…”  I smashed it against a half title from another magazine… “at the end of time.” Typed in the title “A Deal at the End of Time.”

I started typing and realized it was a Seeders Universe story.

I took a break at 4 a.m. with 1,100 words done, went back to it and did another 1,200 words by 5 a.m.

Another short break for a little peanut butter, then went back and did another 700 words to finish the story by a little after 5:30 a.m.

3,000 words almost exactly.

I printed it and have it for Kris to read tomorrow. (She liked the Poker Boy story from yesterday, said it worked.)

So a good start to the month. Three days, three stories.
