I try to go in and help with my son's first grade class every week. I went yesterday and sat through a lesson on how to add -ing to words. Those kids know what a schwa is. I don't think I knew that until I was far older than I care to admit. And then there is the grammar homework that they bring home and I can barely figure out what he's supposed to do with it. I want to be a writer and I can't figure out my six year old's homework? How embarrassing.
Let's not talk about that.
Let's talk about what I do well. Like my current word count for the week: 4,182.
And that's just for Monday and Tuesday. (A lot of the word count came on Monday when my mom took my older kids so that I could have some free time while the toddler napped. Thanks, Mom!) I'm pretty happy with how the story is going. Of course, it helped that a friend and I are exchanging chapters and she called me first thing this morning to order me to finish it because she loves it. Yay! It's always nice to hear someone else likes it.
I've also been in a baking mood this week. Cookies on Monday for family night and right now I'm making a couple loaves of whole wheat bread and used some extra dough to make chocolate sweet rolls that I'm taking to my husband at work. Because who doesn't want warm chocolate sweet rolls on a cold snowy day?
Hey, when do I get to read it? :-)
ReplyDeleteYou do read my blog!
ReplyDeleteAfter torturing you so much with the last novel, I thought I'd give you a break and not make you suffer through this one until it was actually readable. :)
