Journal of Pier Luck

I have written 8000 words for my book about our Navy love story! So far, I'm enjoying immersing myself back into my 20 year old shoes!  I've been writing about 500 words per day 5 days/week and trying to keep it chronological, but going off on tangents here and there.  I am struggling with how I am going to arrange it all, is it good enough, will anyone read it???!!!!  I have been listening the Writing Podcast in the car between patients that keeps me highly motivated! It's called Buckle up and Write by Journey Sixty 6.  I was recently told that my fibroids were growing at an alarming rate and that I needed a hysterectomy! One of the fibroids is as big as my uterus!  I will save you some of the details of why this needs to be done, but this was pretty shocking.  I'm counting my blessings that it isn't cancer or something more serious! I should be getting surgery at the end of March, but all I keep thinking is that I'm lucky that I will be writing this book ...

  I've always loved writing and on January 2nd, I started writing a book!  With the help and encouragement of my friend Breeann Kirby, my goal is writing 500 words per day 5 days per week. I hope to have a finished project by August!  This might be my shortest blog post ever, but I just wanted to document the beginning of this process that I am so excited about!
