Hours and hours of watching my son's baseball team (and driving around). That's my break - nothing is getting done at home (or in my book), but it's fun to watch a bunch of kids work hard and enjoy themselves. <br /><br />I can't believe you only have 10K left!

Then you can come back to your wip with new eyes and new energy. I have found that a certain amount of prewriting not only helps a particular scene, but it also gives me something writing-related to do when I'm otherwise stuck. Lately I've been writing from the POV of different minor characters and just letting them talk on the paper about who they are and what they want from my story. It's not necessarily making revision of this wip go any faster, but I at least feel like I'm making progress every day.<br /><br />Good luck and rest up!Vicki Tremperhttp://www.vbtremper.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-75604282994580418752011-05-12T08:44:06.175-05:002011-05-12T08:44:06.175-05:00I am officially in awe of how you manage all that....I am officially in awe of how you manage all that.

Your mind is concentrating on a million other things that need to get done. You will have the summer to write those 10,000 words.<br /><br />The general vibe I have been seeing in the blogosphere is slowing down. I know for myself I haven't blogged as much and I haven't finished the final edit on BG ..... honestly I haven't touched it in a week.

I've lost bursts of ideas for my plots from one stoplight to another when my daughter says something funny from the car seat. I'm like, "Ha!
