Nano Day Six: Whats the delete button

I almost did it again this morning.

I have a nasty habit of deleting the parts of my book that I hate and I almost erased my entire first chapter because I thought of a way to expand it into two different chapter.  I might still write them both out today, and once I wrote it out replace it, but I can't delete everything before I do that.

I finally feel like I am over the "boring hump" of my book.  You know that part that you need to have in there but it's not at all exciting to write about.  For me, that's the first few chapters of getting to know the kids on the island.  This morning I finished chapter three, which is their first "adventure" so to say.  Today I plan to push out Chapter Four which is where they meet skelleton pirates who give hook a sword and a hat.

Yesterday was like a dream come true, to see my cover and stuff life that.  I also got a lot of praise through nano mail and I took the time to thank every person for their kind words.  I really do appreciate it.  It also gave me the opportunity to read other synopsis out there and there are some amazing stories.  Maybe I'm just self centered but that is one thing I never took the time to do before; just see what everyone else is writing.

I started today at 10117 and I hope to reach 15000 before work tomorrow.

HAPPY SUNDAY!
