Good news…so
far, I have made every one of my chapter deadlines. In May, my good friend Jeff
had me create a chapter outline for the memoir I wanted to write on growing up
at our family cabin. Along with the outline, I created due dates for submitting
chapters to him for critique. So far, I have completed five chapters, emailing
each one on time. This has been a wonderful tool of accountability. His
comments, in turn, have been very helpful, mostly suggesting topics that need
additional development.
The more time I
spend working on the memoir, the more I am enjoying the process. I am amazed at
the detail I am able to conjure up from so long ago. The writing has also given
me an excuse to talk more with my two brothers about our experiences in the north
woods of Minnesota.
My ultimate goal
is to write approximately 80,000 words.
