Mountain Climbing!

So maybe Toms aren't
the best shoes for this...
I've gotten a lot done on my WIP since winter break started. Went from 24,253 to 40,276 words. Woo! I'm not totally sure how it's going to end, but I hope to be done by mid April. I just started school yesterday. My schedule is terrible, with driving and all I was at school for eleven hours yesterday -_- And even dozed off in my Milton class! What a great way to start the semester!

The Boyfriend and I had our six month anniversary a few weeks ago. We went on a walk before dinner as we were bored, and I didn't feel like walking all the way around his street and back up a hill to get back to his house. I saw house from the street below and said we should just climb up the back way.

It looked a lot easier than it was! The only reason I didn't turn back was because it looked too steep. Then we got to the top and had to climb over the fence! I'd thought there'd be a gate...probably not going to do that again haha.

WOW! Awesome job on your word count! Not envious of the new semester in school. Last semester killed me so I'm taking this one off. And congrats on your anniversary. Funny story about going the way you did :) Sounds like something I would do.

Kind of random, but were you saying you didn't know how the story ends in your WIP? I don't come across very many writers who write blindly (which I've done in one instance, and it was my favorite piece yet).

that's brilliant progress on your WIP.

Your 'shortcut' looks like something you could laugh about AFTER the fact ;)

That is steep! You brave woman, you. Of course, I'm sure it helped that The Boyfriend had his camera on you. I wouldn't have looked back either.
Congrats on the jump in word count! It feels good, doesn't it?

I've done those kind of "shortcuts" before. One time it ended up with a case of poison ivy!
Congrats on your anniversary and your productive break from school:)
