I'm almost to 11,000 words! And I can't tell you how outstanding this feels.
They might be 10,950 words of crap, stream of consciousness, not really making any sense, but they are there. It's something.
Writing the dad is so much easier for me than writing the son.
And so far, it's been minorly (is that a word?) life changing. There's something about writing about the death of a young mother full of ambition that's hitting a little close to home... can't quite put my finger on it.
Tomorrow's a new day. I'm going to sleep now and opening my prayers with a thank you to God for getting me off my lazy butt and giving this a go. I'm feeling proud.

Truth Be Told Cover
Synopsis: Truth Be Told
A columnist turned stay-at-home mom fills her need for achievement with philanthropy, threatening a fragile relationship with her preteen son.
As the community grows to admire her, the boy begins to hate her for loving her projects more than him.
As the community grows to admire her, the boy begins to hate her for loving her projects more than him.
Then, she dies.
As a tribute to the woman, the newspaper republishes her columns, which she wrote from the perspective of a working mother when her son was just a baby.
The republished columns are excerpts from the author's own real-life working mom blog, which she is still writing today at Balancing Business & Babies.
