Annual write-a-thon
This weekend, I have been virtually attending a continuing medical education conference. I attend this conference every year. About half the lectures are interesting and relevant. The rest are less so. During those, I typically write. I call it my write-a-thon.
This year, I haven't gotten as much writing done as I normally do. I'm wrapping up the last of the edits that my textbook needs, which has taken priority. Sadly.
Well, I was happily writing Lora when my younger son came into my office. He's 9. He heard the lecture going on and I flipped back to it so he could see what was going on. Here is the interaction that ensued.
B: Wait, what was that?Me, flipping to Scrivener: Lora.
B: Who's Lora?
Me, more than a little annoyed: My book? Lora Fletcher?
B: Oh! The girl with the bow and arrow! Are you famous?Me: Only to some people 💀
My family is very supportive of my "hobby". It still warms my heart that they pay attention to these little details. The girl with the bow and arrow. Once I finalize the cover, she won't be the girl with the bow and arrow anymore! She's so much more.
Two and a half chapters left to write before I buckle down and start edits!
Until next time 😊
