The funny thing is, I am totally in the zone for The Treasure. Many of you writers know what I’m talking about - that mindset where the story just flows out of your fingertips and you can actually see the characters as you write. It’s a rush of power. The story is taking off on its own - I’ve added three characters that I hadn’t even thought of adding before now. I call them the three witches - as in Macbeth. 
I was like, who the hell is that? Come on in, ladies, make yourself at home. You say you want to scare Lily and try to convince her that Ray is a piece of shit? Oh, go right ahead. She’s listening. Vicious, conniving bitches.
I’ve written close to 10,000 words in three days. In the zone, people, seriously. I am having a hard time concentrating on my job that pays the bills when I’m itching to continue writing The Treasure.
Just wrote the first sex scene last night. Yeah, Ray and Lily are getting to know each other. 
I know what the end will be, and the middle is shaping up very nicely. I’ve hit 24K and feeling golden.
(ooh, that was a bad pun wasn’t it?)
