- Oldest Son just turned six.
- Oldest Son goes back to school in 107 hours, 55 minutes.
- Husby (computer network engineer) is trying to anecdotally and statistically prove that 9 times out of 10, when he gets a trouble call, it's actually not the network. Though tonight was apparently that 1 out of 10.
- Youngest Son (3-1/2) today built a "trumpet" out of various household objects, the sum total of which is longer than our sofa.
- Chaya the dog starts obedience school a week from tomorrow. It is not too soon. She's a sweet 2-year-old Lab/Chow mix, but she barks at air particles and eats used tissues.
- I have a bad cold so there are a lot of used tissues around.
- My next novel currently stands at just over 60,000 words, though it will be closer to 80,000 when it's completed.
- If I can write 238 words an hour (that's about four words per minute), for twelve hours a day (not including Shabbat), I can be done in a week.
- My last official typing test clocked me at 94 accurate words per minute. But I didn't have to make them up as I was typing them.
- I am currently reading Earlene Fowler's "Benni Harper Mystery" series and really enjoying them. Enough so that I often would rather be reading than writing.
- I have actually learned quite a bit about writing description from studying Earlene Fowler's writing as I read.
- My current "sticking" scenes (the ones giving me the most problems) involve Sara's sometimes painful attempts to change her role from "the rabbi's wife" to "the rebbetzin."
Sigh.
