I wrote three more scenes to my story since Husband last read it. I was super nervous for two reasons: #1, he just said the first few scenes were the best I'd ever written, and I didn't want to mess it up by writing crap after it; #2, the last scene written was mostly dialogue, and I suck at dialogue. I tend to do dumb stuff with my dialogue, like have my characters tell the reader stuff through dialogue and that usually just sounds like you're trying to be smart.
Husband said it was great! Just as good as the first part. I didn't think I'd be as excited to be validated a second time, but it was just as good a feeling as it was the first time. It makes me want to write more!
Also, it's National Novel Writing Month! A perfect excuse to get off my lazy butt and try to squeeze in writing whenever I can! (Which isn't often, but hey- I'll take what I can get.) Husband is shooting for the full 50k since he has lots of time on his hands. I'm shooting to finish a chapter or two. We've both created profiles on nanowrimo.org so we can officially log our wordcounts. It's going to be awesome and I'm super excited. Thirty days of homework and schoolwork sprinkled with literary abandon! It'll be awesome. Especially now that I'm in love with my story again.
