  October 16, 2000:

I've decided to start over from scratch with Silver Star. It's just been so long since I've started that I thought I needed to start from square one. I'm going to try to employ some things I've learned from reading On Writing as well. Also that means working 6 days a week from now on. I've got plenty of time. I can do it. My goal is 1000 words a day, six days a week. I may increase that to 2000, but I'm starting off low. I'm off to a good start with 1260 written today.

I'm excited about the way it's going so far. I'm a so much better writer than I was when I worked on it before.

I need to get back to my Romances 123 class also. I'm behind in it. I'm gonna work on that tomorrow after I work on Silver Star.

There's my necklace over at the left. I couldn't get my digital camera to focus on it so close up. I touched up the pic some using a program and it looks much better than it did. It's really a beautiful necklace.

I've talked James into going camping. It's only for one night. But I'm ready to go do some hiking. I really want to go to the Rockies, my most favorite place, but alas, we cannot go. So, I'm settling for the Mississippi woods. :)

Gotta go pack, TTFN!
