Over the past two days I have finished the last two chapters of my project and have begun the first. It's strange but, I feel like once the ending and the beginning are laid out, all the rest is easy. That's how I write stories. I have to know specifically where point A and B are to get from one end to the other. It's going to have to be rewritten a few times, but at least it's out there, no matter how rough the draft is. It's an accomplished feeling. I think I'm going to do a guacamole recipe and update my blog further later today.
So later today wasn't a goal I met, but I have gotten the first ten thousand words of my rough draft written up. I feel like this is kind of a milestone and I need to celebrate it! I know 10,000 is by no means the whole thing. My estimate for when it's finished will be about 75000 or more...still not sure, but I feel like I have enough material to get there. The weather cooled down and what really got me writing was being outside in nature. I have a netbook with a long battery life so I just parked myself out there on a folding chair in the shade of a tree and got to work. Something about the sun can be really helpful sometimes. My point is that perhaps cooping oneself up away from windows doesn't produce an adequately creative state of mind.
As for guacamole. I made some delicious last night!
3 ripe avocados
1 lime
3 particloves of garlic
some salt
1/2 red bell pepper
1 habanero
1 jalapeno
1 small yellow onion
dice everything finely (cut the avocados into chunks) and place in a bowl squirt with lots of lime juice and salt. The combine with a spoon until slightly mushy but still chunky, and enjoy with some chips
Do not blend! definitely not as good, I promise. you want it chunky
