I have a story that I have been working on. It is an ok type of story. I know that my character is not the strongest person, maybe not all that believable etc. but the story was moving along over 34k in word count. It has sort of stalled.

I was sitting at the other secretary's desk and a new one came to mind. I started typing and it is working great. It is in my mind, it is sf/fan-some elements similar to my original story, but a much stronger character. Someone with backbone. Not so wimpy. Not so much bad luck. It just took me by surprise.

After trip in September will be joining writing group. Have too, need to start learning. Looked up my offical "you can retire on date" it is July 6, 2016. If I want to retire by then, I need to plan my life and teach myself a few things. Yes crocheting and writing will both be in there. (and so will Hubby-warts and all).
