We have tickets to Game 3!!! Yay!
I’ve never been to a Stanley Cup playoff game. I expect the excitement level will be a lot higher than a regular season game. I know I’m more excited!
The game starts at noon, which means we’ll have to leave here early (it’s about a 4-hour drive). I’ve been doing really well writing 500+ words every day and I really don’t want to miss Sunday, so I’ll probably take my laptop and write in the car (thank goodness my daughter prefers to drive). I don’t want to mess up my continuous writing streak (today is day 22) and I really think just writing 500+ words a day helps me stay in my story (even though I know I have MAJOR problems with it—problems with how any of the conflict affects my main character—oops!). But if I stop writing, I may stop altogether (what may? I will—that’s what’s happened in the past) and hopefully just 500+ words a day will keep my brain working to figure out the solution to my problem.
I’m also meeting with a plotting group tonight and hope they’ll be able to offer some suggestions.
But I’m not letting a trip to Pittsburgh mess up my writing. I mean, it’s only 500+ words. I can do this in the car. I’m certainly going to try in any case.
So… Have you ever been to a playoff game? Doesn’t have to be hockey. High school football playoffs are pretty fun (although I don’t like sitting out in the cold), but I have a feeling I’ll be more stressed over this game than I ever was for the HS ones.
Happy Monday.

I can't write in the car. But if I remember my headphones, I can get those 500 words in later, in the hotel room. Good luck with yours, and have fun at the game!
Jennette - Writing in a hotel would be nice, if we were staying in one. We're driving to Pittsburgh, watching the game, have dinner with friends (hopefully), then driving home. The only time I'll have to write will be IN the car! Good thing it doesn't make me sick (at least it hasn't in the past).
