(you can read about Days 1 & 2 here).
Day 3: The typing is done. Finished. Fine (that’s “feenay” fine – it means end). The wretched text now resides in my “Working” folder. Whew! I didn’t do a ton of rewriting after I shook myself awake from the jaded trance I was in. Mostly I thought more about what the story is about and wrote a description of my protagonist, which, for some reason, didn’t include what she looks like… Sigh… Oh well. Something to do for Day 4.
Then I gave my other story, the one Talented Bel wrote 12 years ago, a once-over and rewrote the paragraph I shared with you to make it flow better (among other things). Now it says:
Her mother called to her from the porch. “Hi, honey.” She was standing on the top step with her hands hanging at her sides. She looked like she was trying not to wave.
It’s still not quite right, but I think that’s better, don’t you? Unfortunately I sent it to Septembermom to read before I changed that sentence… Kelly? Note the change, okay?
Day 3 wasn’t fantastic, but it wasn’t a bust. Right? I’m still going!
(Coming up: Day 4: Transformation! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah right.)

I think you're on the right track. I'll definitely note the change. Once I get the kiddos on the school bus, I'll take a look at the story. I'm looking forward to reading it :)
I really like how you talk about the process of writing. I'll have to read your other days as well. Really cool stuff here. Certainly keep writing!!
