Same as yesterday...

I got another 1011 words written on The Alyssa Project and did a lot of manuscript organization too. It took about three hours. The revision is what slows me down, but this manuscript got so picked apart a few months back that I can't continue the writing without straightening out the scene sequences in each chapter.

I also finished writing the rough draft of a short story tonight! It is between 800 and 900 words, inspired by Holly's suggestion to write about wedding mishaps. I don't know if I'll share it with the other writers, but it feels great to get a story written. Aaron (my son) helped with a few vicious ideas that I wouldn't have come up with on my own. I don't know if the story is something a children's magazine would want to publish. The child in the story isn't exactly behaving. LOL... but it was lots of fun to write. I plan to read it to my daughter and Keith tomorrow for their feedback.

It is time to get deeper into studying magazine markets for children's stories.
