Effin off...
instead of working. I should be laying out the magazine. But, bah...I don't feel like it. The day is gray and gloomy; my hubby is out of town; my good friend is taking a sabbatical to New Zealand and I just found out about it; and well, I think I need to check the stars for cosmic depressing forces, because I have so much to do and no motivation to do it.
Just Blah. I'm hoping to post this entry and then kick it into high gear.
In writing news, I entered Wilderness Rim into the PNWA conference contest. I could not have done it without Amber's mentoring, though. This whole synopsis thing is a bit overwhelming to me; but, it was a whole lot easier because I made careful chapter notes as I wrote. However, the contest really only got the draft of the synopsis and I need to rewrite for actual agent submission. My office is a complete mess here at the house -- you can tell I've been on deadline. I was supposed to go to an author meet and greet last night, but had to beg off from the rest of the Sno Valley Writes group because my computer exploded at work at 2:30 and I had a presentation that was due at the end of yesterday. I worked until 9:30 p.m. last night. It's no wonder i have very little energy for 'work' today. I need to continue the editing and synopsis improvement. Then the query draft begins.
Also, The Boy returns to Washington next Monday. So, I'm trying to prepare for that. Not much to prepare for, really, I suppose. More mental, I guess. Another person who will seek me out for guidance and support, which is fine, but will need to adjust how I ride this balance beam of life.
I'm hoping this weekend to catch up with some reading; but, there's also a meeting of the Sno Valley Writes folks on Sunday. Dear Universe please send energy. I'm at a deficit and need to catch up fast!
