I'm in. Valerie and Daniel will be my choice to finish. I have several un-written but imagined scenes I can add into the mix. Here's hoping I can manage to finish.

Maybe I can get some writing done between now and my long weekend in September, though that should lend itself to writing too. My in-laws are renting an A-frame in Franklin NC for two weeks and DH and I are going up for a long weekend in the middle! Now if the Smokies don't inspire some ideas in me, I might as well lay it all down and give up writing.

Sleepy-time scene coming up soon.

I'm in, too. Maybe the thought that I MUST finish will be the major kick in the hiney I need. I haven't written one, single, solitary thing in months. So now my goal is to finish Katie & Jay's tale before Echo is released. Of course, I'm going to be painting my living room week after next, which is the perfect time to force myself to start writing again, isn't it? I'm nothing if not a glutton for supreme punishment.

I've been writing, but the aimless sort of writing I'm best at. Never really making any progress, just rambling on and on... I'll be staying home a lot anyway since we're poor, paying to fix the fuel pump in my car and have someplace to go in September anyway, so I have no excuses to not write my butt off.

Poor is the same reason I've gotten so much work done. If you can't afford distractions, seems less of them tend to appear.

Luck painting the living room, Page. I've wanted to repaint my tiny kitchen, but when I think of all the work, even for my small apartment, I shudder. Again, sometimes being too poor is a good excuse to get out of home improvements.


Whoo! We can do this!
