Writing Days

Today I’m off to the café of a local independent bookstore to have a writing day with at least one member of my critique group. These writing days are invariably productive. Sitting across from hard-working people tends to keep my brain on task. Also, going to a different writing location not only removes household distractions but somehow inspires new ideas. 

I’m currently working on a hard-copy revision. I print my novel then correct it with a red pen. Some problems are more obvious on the printed page than on the screen. I hope to get through the last third of the manuscript today.

Good luck with your writing day! Sounds so cozy spending the day in a cafe/bookstore with a friend discussing plot points! Hope it's productive.

Thanks, Kim. It was a very productive day. Now, if I can do half that much today ...
