I have 10+ pages of handwritten material for my DayDiary submission. I can't publish any of it until after the book comes out, and then only 500 words worth (assuming that any of it makes the cut). I will check in later to write about the writing, the day, and how I'm getting by with no sleep. That kid had better take a nap today so help me...
I told Steve last night that I might could be book-published next year. He was surpised and happy. I haven't slept since 6:57 yesterday morning. I have to walk away from the writing so I can breathe and figure out how to clean it up for submission. I have a lot of chronicle and only a little depth and humor. Did not get to bake bread last night, so must go fix big salad and coffee for husband, hope it gets him through the day.

I'm not a farm girl, but I live on the southern end of the Hill Country, and I'm learning to cope with wildlife, isolation, and the challenge of making our sanctuary a place where we can live as comfortably as possible.

Sounds exciting. :)
It was an odd way to spend the day--I didn't want to do too much writing, because then I wouldn't have real material to submit. But I did have to sit down and record events just enough to keep the narrative going.
The submission is supposed to focus on my job as a farmwife, but since I had errands to run, I won't have much to include in terms of the animals or the garden.
You say "I might could" too!
I get teased for saying that. I grew up in Georgia.
Leslie--I grew up in CA, but I've been in TX for nearly 11 years.
You might could say it's growing on me!
