WORD Challenge = 8 pages cut, 5 pages edited
I cleaned the house all day today. All day. 
Now it is 9:17 pm and I have yet to open my ms for editing. Still, I intend to finish at least my 10 page quota tonight. I fully intend that some of that ten is going to end up on the cutting room floor (or in my case, cut and pasted in another file).
Tomorrow, more cleaning. I’d almost forgotten how much I love my house when it’s clean. 
I love it all the time, but most especially when it’s spotless. There was a time when I had the cleanest house on the block.
Then I became a writer.
