I had a good dream...

Dear Wednesday,

I am sleepy as all get out. I went to bed late and woke up in the the 4:00 hour. I still didn’t get up until my 5:00 alarm though. 

Last night I had a wonderful dream. Of course I don’t remember the details but in the dream I was writing. At the end of the day I had written 89,000 words and I was working on concluding a fiction story. Is that even possible?

I’d love to know how someone like James Patterson sits down to write his stories. He has so many books and puts them out so fast it makes me wonder if he has a writing team. I know some of his books have two authors. I wonder how they do that when it’s fiction?

My son has early release day today. He will be home in less than two hours. I’ve promised to take him to the bookstore after he finishes his homework. That will lead to other errands, then there is football practice and somewhere in there I have to cook dinner. So it’s now or never for my daily does of 400 words. 

I am enjoying this exercise though there’s only one of these so far that I think I might actually use again “or quote”. I think it’s the first or second one that I gave a real title other than Dear “day of the week”. 

Sunday I wrote one of these and used a stopwatch. I was surprised that it only took a little over 5 minutes to ramble out 400 words. So this really isn’t a time consuming exercise if I just keep talking (typing).

Since it’s Wednesday, I am taking another break from social media. Except for the photography business Facebook page, I won’t get on any other social media until tomorrow - which really mean tonight at football practice. On future Wednesday’s we shouldn’t have practice but it was rained out on Monday and today is a make up day.

Well I’ve perked up a little as I sat here to type for a few minutes. I want to write something on my other blog so bad. It’s been over a week. I don’t know what I’d write about though and the subject of some of the prompts to help me block just haven’t turned on my light bulb. So we will see. These 400 words don’t necessarily cure my need to “blog”.
