My daughter is sick and considering how much time we spend in the car together I know it's gonna get me too. Just what I need with a list like this weeks!
I am actually doing pretty good on that list. Got a bunch of stuff crossed off. Though I have to wonder how I am going to get through the next few days. I have to do about three articles and send My YA proposal to that agent who requested it. My son starts volunteering at the zoo today. Two days a week. How does that cut into my writing time, eh? But I run his sister all over creation, why not him? Still, with the price of gas... I am really pushing him hard to start using public transportation. He is almost 16 and the fact that he is over 6 feet and almost 200 pounds makes me feel pretty secure. Get thee to a bus, child!
Yesterday was pretty good on the novel... I wrote over a thousand words and took it up above the 30,000 mark. I got some fab input from a great editor. She confirmed some of the stuff that I had suspected and also reassured me that it is a very strong peice of work and will find a home. She used to be a professional editor for Harlequin so I feel much better for her input. I would love to get chapter 9 done today or tomorrow and start in on edits, but I have those 3 articles that are also crying for attention. Perhaps someday I will do only fiction and make sort of a living. I don't have to make a working living, just a helping living, if you know what I mean:)
Got up to early. Sick girl woke me up at 4:30 am. I couldn't go back to sleep. She managed to though.

UGH. Here's hoping you don't get sick.
Way to go on the writing! I'm impressed. My head was spinning after reading your to-do list.
Keep up the good work!
Sounds like great feedback on your list. Hope that gives you confidence, and a great big surge of excitement.
My Darling Daughter is home sick today, too. Probably because her friend who spent the night last week, who thought her throat hurt from screaming a football game, woke up the next morning sick. Ugh. So, I decided to try taking Airborne...the medicine lots of travelers and teachers take to stay well when in confined spaces with lots of germs. I figured if it'll prevent me getting sick in stagnant, germy plane air, it'll work the same in stagnant, germy home air, too. I canNOT get sick right now!

Your list from Monday made me want to take a nap. How do you do it all? I thought my list was obscene.
I know..crossing through one item at a time.
Ugh.
Definitely get the kid on the bus though. Anything to lessen that list, woman!
What a great site » »
