Things are coming along nicely. Very nicely. I have found great places to write away from the hustle and bustle of television and Phillies Games. Now, I love my Philadelphia Phillies, but sometimes I gotta put the boys on the back burner and concentrate. Ya feel me?
So.. book is coming along. I am working on the outline as well.
Today Andy and I drove down to Kelly Drive with the bicycles and I got some great ideas for location and a potential subplot. We did a six-mile loop on the bikes. There were so many people! People on bicycles, runners, walkers, rollerbladers, walkers, parents pushing kids in strollers. It was amazing.
I also came up with a another plot idea for another book. Andy said I am demented for coming up with such a wicked idea, but I can only thank the public bathroom and the dirt trail that led off to the right of it.
We looped around the Art Museum, passing a line of people waiting to have their pictures taken with the Rocky Statue. I found this interesting. All the history in Philadelphia and people come from all over to have their picture taken with a fictional character. I smiled at the line of tourists as I passed.
Rocky stands for the underdog, the working class, the loser, so to speak. Rocky had heart and did not give up. I needed to see that Rocky statue today.
Goals for this week:
Write! Write at least 400 words a day on at least five days.
Read! Read blogs and comment.
Research! I have to do a little more investigation into the areas of Philadelphia in my book.
Happy writing my fellow writer peeps! Stay strong, keep it real and remember…. taking a break to regroup is an important part of the process.
See ya on the flip-side! (I just always wanted to say that). 😀
Oh my, I am throughly intrigued by this public bathroom-dirt trail inspired story idea.

Kelly Drive? Love the name. I always wanted a street sign with my name on it.
As for my WIP, I wrote 25K in the past four days. This is a first for me. Never has a manuscript come so easily to me or demanded all my time. I’m loving it!

🙂 Kelly Drive is a very popular spot in Philly. It is on the Schuylkill River.. also there is Boat House Row.
25,000 words? Oh my! Great job! Keep up the fantastic work…
