YESSSS

IT'S DONE!!!!! BOOK 3 IS DONE!!!!

YEAH!!!!

I am so excited!!! I just can't get over the idea that it's DONE. WOOOOHOOOO!!!

Split Apart was first, then it was Back Together. Now........I don't know. The Sacred Three? Perhaps.......I think it might be. Let's call that the tentative title for now. The Sacred Three. It's not a religious book, but there's some magic involved, so I think that perhaps this might be the right title......hmmm.

The triplet sisters, Megan, Emily and Maya are in all three books. Split Apart centers around Megan, and is the beginning of the Riker family saga. Back Together centers around Maya and is the sequel to Split Apart. The tentatively titled The Sacred Three is the third in the series of the Riker family saga. It centers around Emily.

Book 4, centered around the triplets' older brother, Evan, has yet to be named, obviously. It is in its infancy stage. As a matter of fact, I have just barely started Chapter One. And, I will take my time writing this book. I intend to make it...well, a doozy. I started to hand-write the first page today.

Time to sign off now. I have some work to do. :D

MM

I took more than a month off

to deal with some medical issues, some of which I am still dealing with, at this very moment. YIPPEE. And, at the same time, I worked on the re-write of the end of Book 3. I re-wrote the end of Book 3...and re-wrote it, and re-wrote it, and re-wrote it....and today, I re-wrote it one LAST time.

Writing Split Apart was a breeze...it just flew right out of my head, literally, and out onto the screen. Writing Back Together was a little bit more difficult, because I had to try to tie details between the two books together. And, I still had to be consistent.

As I went along, and began to write Book 3, I began to have difficulties in maintaining consistencies in detail. So, I went back, and created several files. One was literally a listing of all the characters...specifically who they were, and how they were related to each other. Another was a file based on Back Together, the second book, with notes on each chapter. Then, another file for Book 3 itself, again chapter by chapter. Although I haven't yet created a file for Split Apart, the first book, I am going to before I get too far into Book 4.

I already have the beginning of Book 4.......so I am going to sleep well tonight, and work tomorrow!!!

Yes, I took a few days off

to work on my son's driving......and boy, am I paying for it. OY. But, in the long run, I hope it will be worth it.

HOWEVER, I AM ALMOST DONE WITH CHAPTER 24 NOW.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've actually got the beginning of Chapter 25 started.........that was a fluke, but it's there....

Off I go to get something to eat.......

It's 1:30 now & I better get moving.....

I took yesterday off because my youngest son was SUPPOSED to have had his driving test to get his driver's license. It didn't work out though. Long story short: he borrowed his brother's car to use because the one he's going to use to drive wouldn't pass the exam the examiner gives. Well, his brother's failed too, at the last minute. It seems that when you turn on the turn signal, his brother's brake lights DON'T WORK....... so now, his test is delayed until 7/30, and his permit expires 7/31..... URGGGGGGGGGGGG.

And, I was in soooooo much pain yesterday, I couldn't think straight enough to string 2 words together, much less 2 letters to make a word. Oh well. I'll make up for it today, I'm sure. I got 9 hours of sleep last night. :-)

Off to work I go!!!

MM

Off to work I go,

but I just thought I'd post the fact that I am actually halfway done with Chapter 24 now......

I am sooooooo REVVED up! I can see the end of the book in sight now!

WHEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

MM

It's 2 a.m., and I've gotten a good deal done.....

considering that I had to go driving with my youngest son today. His final driving test is on this coming Wednesday. *SIGH* (knock on wood)

Anyway, I'm about 5 pages into Chapter 24 now, which is really pretty good, because I was TRYING to write it as he was driving......THAT is DIFFICULT. Have you EVER tried to concentrate on writing then? It's next to impossible!!! Uh, NOT!!! *SIGH*

and yes, I've added another twist to the story that NO ONE will expect........hheeheheheeeee

It's bedtime for me now.......yawn!!!

Toodles!

MM

Whew! Chapter 23 is DONE!!!

I wondered if I'd ever finish this chapter......it was almost haunting me. But, I've had other things going on, too, at the same time. So, it wasn't too surprising that it's just been languishing for a while now. But now, it's FINISHED!!!! YEAH!!!!

I've already started Chapter 24.......onward I must go!!!!

Now, however, it's time to go driving with my youngest son. *SIGH* He has passed the written portion of his driving exam. But he needs to practice the DRIVING portion of the driving test. *EYEROLL* And guess who gets to help him? Moi. Of course. If only I had a fifth of Jack handy.....Just kidding. He's not that bad of a driver, really. It's just nerve-wracking is all.

Toodles.
