Challenge Update
The last few days have been fairly productive. I’m in front with my word count for CATA; it’s always good to have something up your sleeve for the days when your other life interrupts your writing life. Like this weekend, with Mother’s Day on Sunday and three mothers to visit plus my grandson’s 9th birthday celebration, I’m not going to get a whole lot of writing done. Never mind there is always next week.
So just how am I going? Well I’m up to 8,450 words, 43 pp and on Chapter Two. I’m quite happy with my progress. I also took sometime out to judge a competition. With that all done, I’ll have even more time to write. YAY.
My word count for SVEN is growing YAY. I thought for awhile there I was going to fall short, now I may even do better than my goal. So with 50,211 words down I have just 5,789 to reach my goal of 56,000. Too bad all those words haven’t gone into just one story. Never mind, with each word it means I’m getting closer to the finish of some of my WIP’s.
Okay I now have a question. How in the hell do I stop these new people from jumping into my head? I mean I have 24 couples living up there each with their own little entourage. I shudder to think now of just how many there are running around up there. It’s no wonder I’ve been getting migraines. So if you have any ideas let me know. I was thinking of putting a sign on the door. ‘Sorry closed due to overcrowding.’ What do you think? Do you think they’ll take any notice? Sigh! I really think I am starting to lose it, but don’t tell anyone I said that.
Alright I’m off to do some writing. Half the day is gone already, and as my wonderful father-in-law use to say “If you wait too long the sun will burn your arse.”

Yay for productivity! Well done Sandie.
I have no words of wisdom to offer. Twenty-four couples and entourage in your head? I’m going to call this “The Sandie Syndrome”. I only have two couples maximum in my head at any one time.
If it was me, I’d go batty if I didn’t kick some of them out. But for you, I’m sure you’ll find a way to get them all out of your head and onto the page. Go Sandie!
‘Sandie Syndrome’ LOL. I like that hehehe have my own syndrome.
I have to say I am getting a little worried about myself. I’m at the stage now if something pops in my head, like a new title I run for cover. There was a time I could have all the titles I wanted and only have two or three WIP’s now it seems if I open a door like that there is a flood of added information to go with it, like heroes, heroines, plot.
So I’m not thinking about any of it now. Just working on what I have here in front of me.
Thanks for stopping by.

good going with the challenges Sandie.
As for the 24 couples running around your head. I think you need a big ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign. I like Sussan’s comment about the Sandie syndrome. LOL! I don’t think I could cope with 24 couples. I just jot down ideas not related to my WIPs (2 currently) and tell them to wait in the waiting room. Works for most of the time but not always.
good luck!
