Monday Madness

Posted on 08:09 by Unknown
Hope everyone's Monday is off to a great start. Mine is.

I wrote for the first time in four days. I do my best not to go extended periods of time without writing. It doesn't always work out that way, however. 

I'm halfway through my fourth chapter. 

I broke the 20k word mark. I don't really have a goal for total word count. This particular novel will probably work best in a YA market. Therefore, an overestimate is going to be 100k words. That way I can trim it down. A underestimate is going to be 80k words. The latter will be better. 

To kick start Monday Madness I have a quote that I discovered over the weekend. It comes from Albert Einstein. He happens to have some of my favorite quotations. If you scroll down to the bottom of the Madhouse you'll see my absolute favorite quote from him. Without further ado here's your jet fuel . . .

"I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious." -Albert Einstein
