That Hateful Dean Andreanna and Her Vile Ways

I had a fantastic time writing my novel The Harvest this morning.  I closed out another Alan section, and moved onto the Ashley section.  They finally encounter each other, if for a brief moment, and I tried to slow down that scene.  Ashley for her part, also sees Alan, but does not, cannot, acknowledge him to protect him.

I also have a risque scene with Dean Andreanna who is probably too vile a character.  I may soften her up a bit, not her shitty habits and inclinations, but add something to give her a more human quality.  But, she is a predator in many ways, and every awful sense of the word, and if there is a death scene, hers will be appropriately excruciating and violent. 

Well, I accomplished all of my writing goals for today.  So, I'm off to rest.  In real life, my husband was trying to take me to the doctor, but I wanted to stay home and write.  (Plus, I'm not running a fever.) 

I want to stand firm, and make this writing a daily habit.  For sure, I think I can finish this novel before the summer semester starts June 6.  I really do.  That probably means I have to put in a good five hours of writing a day or more.  And what an immense joy that is!

Well, I hope you reach your writing goals today.

Shoot for the stars, even if you hit the lamp post.  It's still higher than you.  #Resist

    MARIA J. ESTRADA is an English college professor of Composition, Literature, and her favorite, Creative Writing. She grew up in the desert outside of Yuma, Arizona in the real Barrio de Los Locos, a barrio comprised of new Mexican immigrants and first-generation Chicanos. Drawing from this setting and experiences, she writes like a loca every minute she can—all while magically balancing her work and family obligations. She lives in Chicago’s south side with her wonderfully supportive husband, two remarkable children, and a menagerie of animals.
