I think all the late nights finally caught up to me yesterday. I was exhausted by 8:30.
We had soccer practice, which always puts a crimp in the evening. However, I was smart. I made dinner in the crock pot! So dinner was done and waiting for us when we got home. Plus, it’s really low maintenance on the dishes. LOVE that. We had a nice thunderstorm roll through, too. My lawn is happy.
Got home, ate dinner, the kiddo studied for his test today and then got him in the shower and into bed. I forced myself to stay up a little longer. I started a new story today. Sort of a revamp of the old MAGIC story. There was something about that one that was never quite right and I think I finally figured it out. It’s urban fantasy. Maybe. Well, okay, probably. I wrote over 3000 words on it so far.
And it’s dark. I actually scared myself when I was writing. Who knew! I mean, I had this heart-pounding moment when I finished writing the first chapter and then sat back and re-read it. It startled me. Ever have that happen? Ever write something so intense and so … dark … that when you go back and read, it just freaks you out? That was me. LOL
I’m going to plug away and see where it goes. I have a general idea. It’s basically revamping the old fantasy story into a new urban fantasy story. Should be grand fun.
Happy Weekend!
I love it! And it’s good you’re diving into it so soon–so you won’t miss your other characters! 🙂
Crock pots are the BOMB. I could kick myself for losing the last one I owned (divorce makes you lose things, both intentionally and unintentionally). But that bugger just whips up a meal without you even noticing. I mean, you can watch it and it looks like that stuff’s just sitting there, inert, sad and lonely. Turn your back for a few hours – voila! Meatloaf! (or meatless loaf in my case)
I love the Crock too. But I only know who to make a few things in it. You’ve inspired me to pull out the cookbook. 😛
