Day Three

Another day is over, and I feel pretty confident I can finish my manuscript by the end of September, if not by Halloween.

Kids are back in school and that means I'm up earlier and ready for my day as they get on the bus. Today, even though I had to drive one to school before 7:30am, I was able to come right home and work on my manuscript. Didn't finish a chapter, but made a good dent toward it.

However, my laptop touchpad mouse has been causing me problems while I type. It seems I rest my hands on it and the cursor jumps all over the page. This afternoon I purchased a wireless keyboard and I'm getting used to it. I'm typing on it to write this post.

As I become more proficient on this new keyboard, I expect my wordprocessing skills to rapidly increase. Now I just have to get used to the long nails (maybe I'll just go get them filled and trimmed shorter to make it easier to type)

I like being able to write down things that have happened during the day. My belief is the more proficient I get at writing down everything as it happens, the better my ability to craft a story will be.

That's all for tonight. Still need to tell my husband what a friend wants me to do on Thursday night. Nothing drastic, just ask him to let me drive my scooter to a meeting in town with him following behind in my van. I'll be able to make a grand entrance on my new hobby and hubby can drive it home, leaving me with the van. (Don't have a motorcycle license yet to drive solo.)
