10K by Tuesday or bust

December 23, 2006 at 6:59 am · Filed under About Deanna's Book, Deanna\'s Story, Miscarriage

I’m going to make a little push to write another big chunk of the book by midnight Tuesday. We’re all off work; I’m not leaving town until Wednesday, and I can stay up as late as I want.

I’ve added a new character, Constance, and I’ll see how she’ll work out. She’s married, has two kids, and works in a day care–a painful place after her miscarriage, especially when she feels some of the mothers mistreat their children. She comes home to find her husband fired from his job (again!) and insisting–no more babies. She can’t bear to end her reproductive years on a loss. So the conflict begins.

I hope to have a finished draft of the novel by Feb. 7.

I am so excited for this book, Deanna. I can’t wait to buy it and read it all in one sitting, and find out what happens to everyone.

I’m cheering you on, Deanna. I know it’s tough to write, but you can do it!
