Last night I finished the second bullet point on my yearly authorial plan: Yet Another Edit of the Shakespeare thing is complete. The lovely laura_josephsen is going to read it for me this time. The reason I bring it up is because she hasn't read any iteration since the very first draft I spit out for Nanowrimo 2009 and I find this just hilarious. And also ( Read more... )

This is going to be a long but hopefully fulfilling week. I've got quite a lot to do if I'm going to be ready for my massive editing Saturday ( Read more... )

Remember how last week I forgot my laptop on my way out the door? Today it was my packed lunch. *sigh* Still, at least we have a cafeteria and I don't have to go all the way back home this time ( Read more... )

This morning I drove all the way to work, walked the never-ending trek through the parking lot, past the construction, up the elevator, ALL THE WAY to my desk and realized I had forgotten my laptop at home. Guess what? I can't do my job without it. So, yes, I went all the way back home to get it ( Read more... )

Lunch is packed. Outfit picked out. Self duly tired. Bedtime is 10:30.

Tomorrow I'm going to try folding "45 minutes per day" (editing) into my "5,000 words per week" plan. That's right folks. The unofficial break since Restoration Book 4 was written has come to an end. First up on the to-do list: go through melyanna's edits of The Shakespeare Thing. I ( Read more... )

Well, it's almost December. I am taking a week off from all writing endeavors. I have quite a full plate. Rehearsals start this week for the annual Christmas variety show for my and iMatt's local theater troupe. I'm doing at least one number, maybe two, and helping with others. On Tuesday, I hope I hope I hope (no, I trust trust trust) the part ( Read more... )

I have a Plan for the evening. It involves a hot shower, warm PJs, coffee, baking cookies and then eating as many as I want. And also, maybe, getting to the end of my overhaul on The Shakespeare Thing. On an ordinary weekend I think I would have achieved it-- I was on an amazing roll before we left on Saturday, but as we have already established, ( Read more... )

In honor of everyone in my cyberlife being hopped up on Nanowrimo excitement (at least that's what it feels like), I have decided to take advantage of the frenzy and have one week of NanoWrimo style word counts ( Read more... )

(1) Get through this work day, somehow.

(2) 1K words tonight

(3) 2K words Friday

(4) 3K words Saturday

The 1K words tonight will probably be for The Shakespeare Thing. And maybe a few of the succeeding words, but then I really need to get back to Restoration.

Sooooooooo tired.

I've heard it said that it takes three weeks to build a habit. I find myself somewhat skeptical, but last week marked the third attempted and third successful week of my 5,000 words per week initiative ( Read more... )
