Not much to report except I wrote and wrote some more. I ended up with 10 additional pages between revised and new ones. YAY! And I even critiqued two chapters for my critique partner! A very productive day in the cave, but it's late and I am very tired.
I did learn something new during dinner from the kidlets.
Finn: Mommy, did you know that Will Turner has the same birthday as Rose.
Me: Really?
Hubby: Will Turner?
Me: Pirates of the Caribbean.
Hubby: Oh.
Mackenna: It's not Will Turner, but the actor who played him. His birthday is January 13th.
Rose: That's my birthday.
Me: Orlando Bloom.
Three blank stares from kidlets.
Me: He's the actor who played Will Turner.
Kidlets: Oh.
Rose: I want to have a playdate with him.
Me to myself: I would't mind one myself!
The dinner conversation got me thinking. If you could have a playdate with anyone, fictional character or real person, who would you choose?
Anyone want to guess who I would choose?
