I could keep going on and on and on.
You all know it.
You all do it.
But, 2000 words today. My goal.
I am halfway there this morning.
In fact, I think I am more than halfway done with this new book.
But there is:
A couple more chapters before George and Gracie Just in Time book number 4 is done.
A final pass through the book Laura and I wrote. Due today.
The book with Zondervan–contract coming soon. Huge rewrite on that novel.
Another couple of non-fiction books.
Lots to do. Lots.
but I will get that other 1000 words done.
I will.
Throwing Up Words 
That’s a long list of things getting in the way…I’d add to it, but I think I’ll end up crawling back into bed!
Hahahahahaha! No!
Hmm…I think I participate in at least five of those things that get in your way…
But you do it so well, Michelle. 😉
It sounds to me like you are having huge success in the Publishing world. Yay!
On your email I thought you said you were exercising mice. Ha ha. So compassionate, wanting the mice to be in shape.
Mice? What kind of mice? Wild mice, pet mice? If you’ve got mice problems, I could come catch them for you.
