Camp NaNoWriMo word count: 35,655 before 7am on Monday, 22 April 2019
EMD word count: 70,007. My novel’s word count has gone backwards in a dramatic way. Though I did add a sentence or two, I have butchered out an entire chapter, and now I fear it’s too short. I think only famous people are allowed to write short books. But serious reorganization and butchery in chapters 11-14. It feels like progress.
I submitted poems to two journals yesterday online and prepared a packet to be mailed to another. We had two walks and moved furniture and Gary scrubbed floors while I made a curtain. We are looking forward to work on the garden. The good news is that all four rhubarb plants have survived. One is thriving to the point that it did not notice the slender young stalks I pulled to make a tart. We had rhubarb tart for dinner.

I am still excited to read what will come of this. Where did you plant your rhubarb? I just planted one plant. We had rhubarb at our house in Ballard it was already established when we moved in. It was on the southwest corner up against the house. We have tunnels in our rockery along the east side of front yard. I put out a motion detection camera. After a week Sam checked it and we saw a rabbit every night on it. So we will see. I have seen one come out from under the deck in the back. I saw a raccoon roaming thru the backyard the other day.
