#IWSG for August - The word is...what rhymes with...

Another month has rolled around. During this past month -

  • I wondered if I was really RETIRED, getting up early every morning and working all day long.
  • All because I DESIRED to write the complete first draft of my second mystery novel, "Barely a Spark".
  • Every day I REWIRED myself with caffeine and practiced BIC-HOK-TAM (butt in chair, hands on keyboard, typing away madly)
  • I REQUIRED myself to meet a daily goal in order to meet my deadline.
  • I was INSPIRED daily by author friends who were making and keeping more ambitious daily goals.
  • I INQUIRED from online sources, trying to make my story realistic.
  • I ACQUIRED more knowledge about the Pennsylvania justice system.
  • I got my first fan email and felt ADMIRED.

So what am I now?

TIRED....

Oh, but I did manage to complete the first draft of "Barely a Spark".
