Dirty Dozen Redux–Day 1

It’s 9:00 p.m. I’ve been writing for most of the last 12 hours. Here are notes on the day:

• My original 10 pages became 16 in today’s rewrite. I added a scene from scratch.
• The hardest thing is the most obvious. It’s really hard to write all day. My brain is mush.
• Cooking dinner, I was so distracted that I put a teaspoon of cinnamon instead of cumin in the chili. My family ate it anyway.
• During Dancing With the Stars, Coco ran in after every performance with scores. She didn’t want me to miss anything.
