Status of my Life: I finished another edit of SHADOWS. And I finally wrote something new yesterday. Going back to work threw me all out of wack, and I didn't have anyone talking because I had so many other things clouding my mind. But yesterday (my day off) I finally heard them again and I was able to write 1800 words in a new novel I started a while ago and am now changing up a little bit. After about a week, that's relief.
So yeah. School's starting again. It's usually only bad until October. By then I have the little darlings all trained up and things run smoothly. But the next six weeks...yikes.
And that means that I'm going to have to be more scheduled with my time. I've set a bedtime of 11 PM and I'm going to try to focus on writing from 9-11 every night. I'm sure I'll get sucked into the black abyss of my writing forums, but I'm really going to try not to get too...sucky. We'll see how that goes.
My son is back in school, and scouts, and piano and that means time running him around to his thousands of activities. Time to get the notebook back in the purse so while I'm waiting for him, I can write.
Real life isn't sooo bad, it's just getting back into it.
Reading: THE DARK IS RISING by Susan Cooper
I have 4 kids, three in school this year and a toddler at my feet all day. I know how you feel! I have to squeeze all my writing into nap times and this early morning time before the baby wakes up! I think the struggle makes us all the more awsome! Loved the blog!
ReplyDeleteUgh, going back to school is such a bummer at first. Still waiting for the book...Let me know when I get a copy of the manuscript!!
