Writing News

Three months into isolation, I have a regular routine that includes starting my day around 5:30 am. My goal is to have 200 + words written before it's time to take about a 3 mile walk at 6:30. After that, the daily goal is to bring my word count to 500 before nine. If all goes well, that makes the afternoon's additional 500 words an easy task. So far, the routine is working because in a week I will finish the McKenna Mystery I've been working on.

#StaySafeStayOpen - I'm hoping more people will do their part by wearing a mask so we can eventually return to some sort of normal.
