I Should be Doing Something Else

It is simply a most wonderful day outside. It is in the mid 60’s, the sun is shining, the sky is blue as the Carribean Sea and there is light, cool breeze drifting by with the aroma of burning brush. It feels like one of those days at the end of September instead of the begining of June. So of course right now I could be outside watching my sunflowers grow. I planted a bunch and I have one flower that stands about 2 feet tall the east are only about 6 inches tall.
I am inside because I am determined to get some typing done on Seaspring Briar. I did get a lot done last night and I am sure I will work on it soon enough. I am not even half through typing it and I have almost 5,000 words. I am about a fourth of the way. So I am figuring on close to 20,000 words when I am through. And that my dear friends, is what many consider a novella!
By the way a novel is 50,000 words. I think that maybe the reason in my delay of writing my own novel. I am working my way up the word count, making the stories longer and longer until I write a novel. I know there is a lot of work to write a novel. For me it’s not the issue of time or even typing it (although that is going to be horrendous since I am writing it on paper) it’s just getting my pen going and start writing.
I even have lots and lots of blank notebooks that I got for mother’s day to write in. Well speaking of writing, I do have something to do.
Today is hump day so have a humpy day!
