Just as I started to get into the flow after my crazy day... I realized I didn't have my notebook. So I raced around, tearing things apart, and then rushed over to Walmart thinking I had left it there. Nope... it was on the ladder that's sitting in my front all.

Anyway, I got 432 words on my next anthology... I need some names, but maybe I'll be able to get somewhere with it now. And I did two posts on my writer's facebook.

Off to bed now and hopefully I'll find some time to write tomorrow (I do need to write my paper for class for this week so that'll give me words if I get time to write)

And now... simplyn2deep finish out our month.
