Sunday Check-In With My Round Of Words Progress.....


The Type Characters Add Up Over The Week.......

Well, I have typed nearly four chapters in Claiming The Prize this week.  My fingers are so tied up that I constantly reverse d & k, e & i, and for some reason, I put w's where s's should be.....( ??  s's ??  I'm not sure I've ever had to contemplate how to type that before...lol).  All in all, it's been a productive week.  The typing isn't really as bad as I imagined, but the re-reading......and more re-reading ...to find all the little errors (like typing his for him...etc.) take a great deal of time and patience, slowing my progress.  But, I'd rather do it in short bursts throughout than to have to tackle it all once.  I'm hoping that by completing numerous glance backs, the final edit (before sending it to my critique partner) won't be quite so painful.  Well, a girl can hope, can't she?

News On The MMA Front........

Yesterday, I completed absolutely zero work.  Why?  My son competed in his first jujitsu tournament.  It was a fabulous (if long) day, ending with two first-place medals and a first place belt.  Photos are below for any interested.

Inspiration For My Followers......

Darrell stopped by this week, leaving me a comment asking about inspiration for the menfolk that follow my blogpage.....HHmmmmm...  I'm not sure I can appreciate what might constitute inspiration, but here goes.....
 Maybe this is what you mean?  (It sure is what my husband would consider inspiration....)

But my son thinks this is truly inspiration.......






Perhaps this is what you had in mind??
                                                                                       Anyway, Darrell, Julius, this is just for you!  Thanks for hanging around through all the inspiration that isn't very inspiring to you...........


And I Can't Forget Us Ladies......


Some Eastern Promises whispered by this scroundrel....Ooooo LaLa!
                                                                                                  
...Or maybe a guardian of this kind.....


Perhaps just a bad boy.....
Whichever you prefer......enjoy!
Now, I'm off to type some more..... Have a great week everyone.  Round of Words is still going on...check out what others are up to this Sunday!

  1. I have a dark secret: my biggest inspiration is Beethoven, with a smidge of Johann Sebastian Bach. I admit it! I'm completely influenced by classical music! Nerd!

  2. Thanks for dropping by. Thanks for all the hunky pictures. Had to laugh at the pictures for the guys - so true. Good job on finishing four chapters. It's easy to mess up when typing fast. I've been handwriting all my stuff. Next round of row80 will involve typing the whole story.

  3. The typing saga continues elsewhere also. I feel your pain. LOL If only we could write on a computer....

  4. That's where I am right now, Robin. Argghhh, the typing. I handwrite everything also, and will continue to do so, but I think I will try to type as I go next time.......at least a bit. My glasses won't even keep my eyes straight I'm staring at the computer screen so much. Serves me right I guess...... ~ Nadja
