As a treat for myself for writing so much the past few days, I took myself to the movies today while hubby was watching football. I discovered that Sunday afternoons during football season are a great time to go to the theater. In the theater where I was sitting, it was just me, my nachos, my bucket of Coke and five other people.
I went to see The Covenant, a teen movie with a paranormal storyline since paranormal YA is what I’m writing right now. It’s not going to win any Oscars, but it was entertaining and added to the creative juices.
After I came home, the laptop and I took up our favorite spot on the front porch to enjoy the wonderful fall weather and knock out a few pages. It wasn’t another 22-page day, but 9 pages isn’t bad. I might have written more, but tonight was the two-hour season premiere of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which I love. And what a wonderful premiere. They built a home for the best family, all the way up in North Pole, Alaska. Very heartwarming, as always.

I think movies on football days sounds like a great idea! Of course, my hubby doesn’t do football – but I did go out to a movie on my own a few months ago – had to run the kids out of town to a meeting and needed something to do for a few hours. It was a little weird at first, but I think I’ll do it again sometime – just as a reward like you did.
My son went to see The Covenant. He didn’t really say much about it.
Good luck with the writing!
