Very sad thing about the bombings in London. When will the terrorists go away? Keeping all those affected by the attacks in my thoughts.
I find it difficult to collect my thoughts this morning. I don’t know why that is. My brain is just tired. Foggy. Like I have cobwebs in there for whatever reason.
It doesn’t help that my sleep has been disturbed every morning at 4:30. Getting back to sleep only delays the inevitable. When my alarm goes off, it makes it doubly difficult to get up and get going.
Although, I have to admit I feel perkier today than I have all week. And for a short week, it sure has been a long one.
I need to write on the serials today. But the novel is pulling me so hard. I really want to work on the new WIP. But I know I have to work on the serials. I’m at a point now where I’m stuck on the adventure and I don’t know what’s going to happen next. I need to start making better notes as I write so I won’t get hung up.
More words on the new WIP. But I’m starting to doubt my goal of 50K by the end of the month. I hope I can make it, but I’m not sure now. I should write on the weekends, really, but things are so busy then that I find it hard to find the time.
Spent some time helping a good friend get her website up and going. I made a really snazzy graphic for her new blog. You can see it here. I love it! I’m excited for her and I know she is as well on finally getting things up and running. This is her first foray into the world of blogging.
Learning to use Photoshop has really opened a lot of graphic doors for me. So that’s exciting as well. I just don’t get to use it as much as I’d like. I’m hoping to get a good book on the program so I can really learn how to do some fantastic things. I love my revamped website, I just wish I had been able to do something like that myself. (Yes, it’s a template.. but it fits me so well I think!)
I also want to get my submission package ready for Berkley today. I have some minor edits to make on the first three chapters and I intend to look at them this morning. And then write on the serials… and then the new WIP…
So much writing… so little time…
