I have promised myself I will write 2,000 words today for Book Three of “Ten Kids” in the Deauville Street series. Book Two is at the editor’s, so I am feeling mighty virtuous and deserving of lemon cake and perhaps one chocolate.

I am distracted by many things, so let’s see if writing today will work. I doubt it. Concentrating sounds difficult. Very trying. My brain feels tired already at the thought of writing that many words. So do my eyeballs.

I may give up right now. Perhaps that’s best…one must not tax oneself too much.

Off I go! I shall valiantly try to write again another time. Have a lovely day!

On another note, I have NO IDEA why I can’t shrink this photo. This program is not letting me, so it’s huge…
