Monday, June 24, 2002 ( 3:14 AM ) The Courthouse Parking Lot

Well, it is just after 3 in the morning now, but I did it. I wrote 1077 more words in my newest manuscript, and the total is now 4487 words. That's a start! I really didn't want to write tonight... I wasn't "in the mood" - but I did it anyhow and now I feel great (albeit tired) and well... I'm exhilarated I'm nearly to 5000 words with this.

I actually have a missing chapter already written on my other computer and hope to add that in within a few days now. Tonight I wrote a scene in the parking lot of a courthouse. What should have been a wonderful experience was much less than wonderful... for Alyssa... and now she's depressed............... but I'm not!! I almost feel like apologizing to my fictional character. What does that say about novel writers?... or am I just getting silly because I'm up so late?
