50,000 Words Day 14

Today, I surpassed my daily goal by writing 1696 words bring my weekly total to 23,556. That surpasses the week 2 goal of making it to 20,000 words. No Plot? No Problem! novel writing-kit by Chris Baty sets a total goal of 50,000 words in 30 days. At day 14, I am almost half way there. I am giving you an excerpt of the as yet unnamed novel that I am writing today. Here is just a taste:
Group singing was led by the Choir Director, Mr Lawson Fletcher. He directed the singing while waving his arms into larger and larger flourishes. His black hair seemed to fly back and forth with the effort. The pianist, Miss Winifred Kierkel was a lively player. She seemed to bounce up and down to the beat of each note throughout the songs. The bird on her hat flapped away. The bouncing caused her anatomy to lead the men of the congregation to think on subjects unseemly. Mrs Aribella Quantz, President of the Womens Mission Society felt it her duty at some point to prevent further sin from happening so she went over and placed her hand on her shoulder. The bouncing stopped briefly, then started back up. The overall effect of the waving arms, flourishes, the black hair flying, the bird flapping away and the bousing up and down were quite a sight to behold.
My motivation card for today is called Keep The Faith: Novelist Amy Bender surrounds her writing desk with a dozen synonyms for the word "faith." Why? It helps remind her that, however confusing her story may seem at the moment, its point will become clear if she jest keeps writing. And it always does. As you enter your fourteenth day of writing, make and post a sign that will help you remember that things are going to work out great in the end.
