Yesterday, I had a new idea for a middle-age chapter book. It has been a long time since I got excited about a writing project! Today I wrote 1,200 words and sketched out an outline. Developing characters for middle-age children was more fun than I thought it would be. I can't wait to see where this story takes me. I don't want to say anything about the plot, but it involves my hobby of gardening.
I also managed to write several Examiner articles for this week. I am more caught up than I've been for a while. I guess it's because I've been manic for the past few days - too many things running through my head. It makes it hard for me to concentrate on one thing at a time. Usually I will get several projects started and not be able to finish them, so I'm proud that I actually finished several projects today.
I had planned to go to the Historical Society today to do some research, but my car wouldn't start when I decided to go. I don't drive my car often enough to keep the battery charged up. Now I'm planning to go tomorrow - Keith will jump my car in the morning.
More things I've accomplished in my manic phase - I baked a cake for Keith and I have supper ready to stick into the oven. I even have the dishes washed up. I HATE washing dishes! I wouldn't mind cooking nearly as much if I didn't have to clean up.
Pretty Little Liars is back tonight! This show is my guilty pleasure. There has been a marathon on this afternoon, so I've been catching up where the story left off.
I also found a new series to watch - the Fabulous Beekman Boys. It is about two gay guys who bought a farm in upstate New York and are trying to make a living and start a new business. I found out about them yesterday when they were on Rachael Ray. They raise milk goats and have a goat cheese and goat soap business. These guys are hilarious, but the shows have been very educational as well as entertaining.
It's time to stick supper in the oven - potatoes, onions and chicken breasts roasted in onion soup mix - yummy!
