Pages Written... none yet
Listening to... the dogs snore
Exercise Done... 1 hr gym

I'm feeling very strong, very writerish this morning and I haven't even opened my document yet.

Went to the gym, slogged out 15 minutes on the treadmill for cardio, then put in almost 50 minutes with weights - both by myself and with Julie, who came in late to our session. But I'm learning so much from her, it's hard to be annoyed.

I can see my body changing. No one else can, unless I'm in form-fitting workout clothes - but my legs and my arms are getting strong, my torso is - well, compacting is the only way to describe it. Fun stuff! Now all I need to do is start running every other day and I'll be on my way.

Came up with a good title for my latest WIP, as the last title was too category. I'm learning to weave in characters that my main characters need in order to have a rounded story. And I'm learning so much from judging the Golden Gateway contest this year - only 2 more entries to go! On the writer front, I really feel I'm breaking new ground, growing stronger - no, that's the wrong word - growing smarter, perhaps - in how to put a novel together. It's all good. And while I wish success would hurry up and get here, I'm also understanding that I *am* successful - each book is better than the last, each writing experience is making me grow, and each day brings new ideas for books.

The last, I think, is the best gift of all.
