It is Sunday July 13 and a new nineteen days of writing begins. My total word count goal for each day is between 2,500 and 5,000. During those nineteen days, I intend to complete a novel, a short story, write a poem each day, and make at least one daily entry in this blog.

I am working on a poem manuscript called The Year of the Poem, which consist of 365 poems written from March 21, 2008 to March 20, 2009. After I complete the manuscript, then I will begin the rewrite on it. In the mean time, I have to rewrite a novel in addition to the one I am completing.

Besides writing, I work part time outside the home, all though, I am not sure that I should call it work. I enjoy my part time job, so it does not feel like work. There has to be a term for a job that you enjoy and get paid for at the same time. Perhaps, I am still dealing with issues I learned growing up, which was that you did not enjoy your job. That is something I am going to deal with in my off line journal Writing My Spiritual Journey.
