Up at 4, gym from 5-6:30, grocery shopping, breakfast, writing from 8-10:30. An hour for chores/emails/etc, then off to Emeryville from noon-5 for the part-time gig I'm doing for a few months, working for trial consultants right next to Pixar Studios. The setting is terrific and the people are friendly. It's a no-stress job that requires little brain power (my favorite kind of job). It takes ten minutes to drive there and twenty minutes to drive home. With my afternoon hours no longer available for writing, I'm forced to write in the evenings, which was difficult last week, but should be much better from now on. TC is falling in place. The voice is growing and the pieces are taking shape. The chapters are short, between 500-1000 words in length. I'm really trying to make this sound like a traditional middle-grade book, though I can't seem to break away from that somewhat limited sound. I really like Lauren and Lani. They make me laugh.
