I’m back from vacation but am now out of town on business until late Wednesday.  I had one day to decompress but I made the most of it (between loads of laundry, some catchup work-work, replacing a lost ATM card, grocery shopping, housekeeping, etc)

I rallied on my trip home from San Diego and at home yesterday.  Given that my Monday through Thursday was spend doing family stuff, I think I did okay, having written about 2200 words and critiqued 70 pages of a 400+ page manuscript.

I haven’t touched my to-be-edited manuscript yet but I have eighty days to go through the three sets of beta comments and incorporate their suggestions, the most odious but necessary of which is to tweek the ending…again.  It’s good but too abrupt, like I rushed through it, which in hind sight, I did.  I accept that criticism and will expand the ending somewhat.  No problem.  I kind of look forward to playing with Dori and Donovan in the near future.

My stats page is here.

Linky for other ROW80 participants is here.  Give my colleagues some encouragement if you can.

Oops, first check in and I’m on spring break vacation in San Diego with the kids.

I’ve been able to get online about an hour in the evening and the same in the AM, but it’s not been too conducive to hitting my goals. I’ve had to use some of that time to check work emails. After that, I’ve not written or critiqued. I have edited one WIP but not the one I intended.

Oh well. I knew about this week of vacation going in ,so my goals stand, though I won’t meet them this first week.

Here’s the Linky checkin list of the other participants.  Give ’em some encouragement.
