Did you ever read Norton Juster’s children’s book The Phantom Tollbooth? Remember when Milo drives his little car through the tollbooth into the Lands Beyond and starts daydreaming and not paying attention to where he’s going and ends up in the Doldrums? Somehow, I’ve managed to get there today without ever leaving the house. Go figure.
Last night’s Eureka had some great moments with Carter and his daughter Zoe. My favorite Zoe line: “We are SO broken up!”
And tonight is the season premiere of Bones! 
Love this show! It’s loosely based on the life of thriller/mystery writer Kathy Reichs’ life as a forensic anthropologist. Love her books, though the Temperance Brennan in the books isn’t much like the Tempe in the show. But that’s okay. It’s still a great show. 
Wrote two pages last night. 
Things took another interesting twist. Guess it goes to show when things start to slow down, toss in another murder, attack, explosion, what-have-you. 
And I keyed in four pages, so now the mss. is up to 97 pages. Yes!!!
I think we all go through the doldrums. Writers are more prone to it than others. What a great page total. You are doing great!

Hugs on the doldrums, Tori.

The doldrums, as a whole, are not a fun place to visit…
Here’s hoping you’ve traveled right through and are headed somewhere much nicer.
Hang in there… and keep on writing!! You’re doing amazing!
