LOVED your Summer Nights writer parody! and CONGRATULATIONS!!! If you won't exclamation point, I will. Your wonderful summer session-ending entry lifted my heart, except for two words: "false finish." I insist to differ. If you are going back to revise, it isn't a false finish. It's not false because you had pre-work to nail the ending.
There is nothing false about this first-draft finish! Moreover, I think you missed the true point. You achieved your goal WITH the puppy, not before getting the puppy. So please stop muting the enormity of your fabulous accomplishment. You didn't limp in or cheat. You overachieved.
Luxuriated in my break last week. My trip back to the Berkshires for the Jackson Browne concert and journal writing at The Haven the next morning filled my soul and reminded me just how much I love that area.
This summer re-taught me for the umpteenth time how much I achieve when I don't procrastinate. It also showed me I need to re-establish my morning writing habit. It's MIA. That's my fall goal - re-establish a morning writing habit, even if I have to start super small and work my way to an hour.
Cathy, I have LOVED the RAP accountability and admire how you kept us all going, while getting and training a puppy, while finishing your first draft. You. Are. Amazing. Thank you.
