I am taking a break from trying to be productive to wish you the happiest (so far) of New Years. I can credit a whopping 32 words to the new year so far, but I have set up my new tracking sheet and finished a couple of Powerpoints for church. From here I shall go undaunted back into the world of fiction, having liberally dowsed my diffuser with peppermint oil. Only 468 words left to go!
I do hope your year has started off well.

You have to take care of the new year administrative work, too, so good for you!
So the peppermint oil helps you concentrate? Hmm, I may have to try that.
Congrats on the words! I'm sure you have a bunch more now.
Yeah, I put it in a diffuser, but you can also wear it like a cologne if you're out and about. It's awesome to rub on your temples to get rid of a headache, too.
The words are slow going right now, 10-15 at a time, because I realized my MC is too forthcoming too early in the story. I need her to be more afraid. Once I get through what I've already written it will go faster.
I looked for peppermint oil at a local supermarket, but they didn't have any. I'll have to check at WalMart or buy some at Amazon, if they carry it.
I order mine from here:

It's a family-owned farm about an hour and a half from where my mom lives.
I'll check it out. Thanks!
BTW, it took me all afternoon, but I got 551 words and clarified what I'd already written. Tomorrow it's on to new material.
