Friday Frenzy

This is how I felt last night when I was writing the last scene of my book (I always write the end before I continue on past Chapter 3) and got to the final kiss:

do we have to hear the kissing bits?
see more crazy cat pics

So I wrote a generic line about a kiss and will fill in more later when I'm more in a kissing mood. But I managed six pages total last night. A good rough scene that I can turn into many more pages when I get to the end of the complete.

So today is one of those frenzied days. Gotta get ready for tomorrow and Finn's First Communion. The To Do list is scary. On top of that I'm having breakfast with Rose's godmother, climbing and getting my haircut. Somewhere in there I must buy the rest of the favor things and put them together, make a dish for the potluck at church tonight and a whole lot of other things. Oh, and write six pages. That's my new daily page quota for the month of May.

What's going on in your corner of the world?

I have been spending a lot of time out side doing yard work. I love being outside during the spring. I am not getting anything inside done. I must have spring fever.

Very Cute Photo. And I love the movie that quote is from. One of my all-time Top 10.

Today? Uh, well, the dog's been walked, 13 needs some tutoring for his writing, take 13 to friends to go to mall, pick up 9, grocery shop, dog poop to vet, errands, errands, errands, clean out laundry room, make dinner, 13 to friends for overnighter, write pages, write query blurb, gather e-mails of those I'll be querying next week, panic, write query, panic some more, get design brief to site designer TODAY, all while dealing with allergies....you get the idea. A typical day here.

Excellent on the six pages that you wrote.

Not much going on except I have to write a topline anaysis of the emergency project that I launched yesterday. I did finish another project that I worked on and delivered it to the client.

You have a lot on your plate and I can see there's some fun in there for you. Have a good Friday.

Reminds me a little of the kid in "The Princess Bride", LOL.

I LOVE writing the kissing parts -- they are my faves. :-)

I actually like the idea you write the ending after writing the beginning, that's neat!
Good luck with all your errands and the To-Do list you have!
As for me, I have to finish the kids schoolwork (tests, tests, and more tests), go grocery shopping, do laundry, make dinner, pay bills, pick up after the kids, sweep the porch and maybe find time to wash the Jeep. *sigh* I like your day better. *G*

Have a wonderful day!

Adorable picture! Not much going on here since I am getting over a sinus and ear infection. Tomorrow I am hoping to be rested enough to go to the Spring Library Book Sale.

Actually, not a whole lot is going on in my world right now! I needed a break. Good luck with all you have to do. Cindi

Went shopping looking for a dress to wear to the wedding - nothing!!!
Everything was sooooo ugly.
Then shopped for shower gifts and something to wear there too. Also trying to find some used furniture for my other daughter who is leaving for college this August and living off campus.

I fell in love with the pic. It was on a blog I was reading and so I went back to icanhascheezburger to find the pastable code.

And I love the movie the quote came from, too. So romantic. Sigh...
