Day One.

I didn't write yesterday. Instead went into town and worked at the store a little.

Today I'm determined to write on "Ruby Red and the Robot," no matter what. I'm going to sequester myself in my room and not come out until I've done at least 1500 words. No excuses.

There is nothing ahead of me for the next few months so I can concentrate on writing, writing, writing.

Well, I did try. I spent about six hours in my room struggling with it, trying to latch into the story. I believe I have found the trigger--it's more a love story than anything else. That plus turning it into a novella and I'm determined to finish it. 

I'm satisfied with my effort. But it may take me awhile to get back into the swing of things.
