I realized I should have had my margarita yesterday. I mean, it was Cinco de Mayo. Instead I had a generic Jack and Coke, my second drink of choice. I go through phases and also stages of brokeness, so I'm lucky to have even generic Jack in the house at the current stage ;-) I made up for the drinks by grilling some shrimp fajitas to pay homage to my Mexican friends.
I didn't have a huge word count Monday, coming in at 732 words, but I hit a streak today and made up for the small slump.
I'm finishing up the big pool / bar scene where we meet the Detective (who is driving me crazy because I'm not an expert on law enforcement) and we get to see a couple different sides to my hero and heroine. In other words, it gets into the nitty gritty.
I've found I like the intense action scenes with multiple characters. I like having the hero and heroine, possibly the villain and the comic relief all together to duke it out...with amazingly orchestrated page turning scenes. The funny part is that I think my best work comes in the introspection. I have a way with thoughts. HA! That makes me laugh for some reason.
Anyway, I haven't changed my playlist yet or finished the book I'm reading. I plan on it this week. And it looks like I'm a little under 800 words to my goal to make 20,000 words by May 17. Nice and way ahead of schedule!
