Okay so I’m back! And before I go into details, I have to say FREAKY. I went to update my word meter, the cute little one with the flower. And the site I get it from is like hijacked or something. It’s all black, plays creepy music, and says things like ‘we’re here, taking over, did you think you could get away with…’ and stuff. Soooo… yeah, going back to the plain meter. For anyone I ever referred to that site, I’m sorry, I’m sure you’ve discovered it’s gone nutty too.
All right. So what a great 24 hours. Emma and I left early Sunday and caught the ferry to Whidbey Island. Once there we got to hang out in the sun, socialize with my aunt and uncle. Go for walks. At one point we even passed our senator Patty Murray who has a cabin up there. She seems really laid back, and I went to high school with her son before they moved to D.C.
So the greatest part of the weekend though… I made myself write. Last night and this morning, I managed to write almost 5k! So my shifter story is halfway done, in a day! I’m so excited. I love where it’s going. I love that I never know where I’ll end up, even if I have an outline. My characters are constantly surprising me! Oh, and I did write the outline too last night. I went up there with a little over 1k, just the first few pages of my book, and left with 30! Woo whoo! But not that I’m back I’m on the internet, lol, catching up on too many emails. *Sigh*
Did everyone have a good weekend? Anything exciting happen? I think next weekend Emma and I are going to have a sleepover at Lacy’s new house with her kids! That’ll be fun!
Okay, and the Seahawks kicked off with a preseason game yesterday against the Colts. And we kicked some arse. Woo whoo. Gonna be another great year.
Kudos for getting a lot of writing done! VBG
5k is awesome! WTG!!! (Sounds like you had a great weekend, too!)
That’s great, Shelli! It’s so hard to keep up with all the email and internet hopping I do. Good job staying with it.
Glad you and Emma had a good time.
Yea on the writing! So awesome - sounds like you had a peaceful, productive time.
I’ve been on a bit of a roll myself. Feels good! Tonight I’m hoping to get even more done. Dang Internet, though. It’s the bane of our existence, LOL.
Glad to hear that you got so much work done on the shifter book! Make sure to keep me posted on how its goin!!! Sounds like you and Emma had a great time on the island…everyone should get outta Dodge every once in awhile! We should try for a walk one of these days soon!! I have news bout the job so email me soon so I can tell you,ok?
Glad to read you’re on a writing roll. yay! Love your latest photo! LOL!
Have a good one!

I was wondering what happened to the website with the meters. Guess it’s back to zoduko for a while. And I really liked the blooming little flowers.
Woo Hoo on the writing roll!!
5,000 words - wow! Way to go!
Congrats on getting so much writing done!! The Seahawks arent the only people that kicked arse this weekend
Glad you had a fun trip as well.
That’s great that you got so much writing done!
Hooray, Shelli! Way to work it.
And that photo is hilarious!
Oh man, I feel your pain on the pretty flower meter! I went today to update mine, and nuts! The page wouldn’t load at all! At least I didn’t get the creepy music…
and congrats on the word count! Rock on, girl!
