Greetings people and welcome to another Monday where I may have something interesting to say.
*laughs*
Every week I have a revelation and I report to you to read it. What is it today? DISTRACTIONS
Now, as you know, I have 2 kids, a husband, a cat, friends, and other lovely things and people who keep me busy.
In truth, i usually write at night when the house is asleep. However, even when it was, I still couldn't stay up long enough to get any writing done this past weekend.
I had a short story I started and didn't finish. I did get reading done, alot actually as well as blogposts and other promoing things but thats all I could do. UGH!
I have a novella I'm starting today too. I wanted to get the short done and out by the 25th. Hopefully, that will still happen since I have my synopsis and everything planned out. I have in my head this Novella could be anywhere from the min 18k to 25k This means about 2k of writing a day to get it ready to submit. Hopefully earlier so I can pass it along to a fellow author and beta.
However, having all these distractions means I'll need to find a specific time to work on it. Like now, only my 3yr old is awake. She is content with her Leapster game for now so I may try to steal a little time before my 13yr old gets up.
Noticed I said try?
0.o
Yep... oh like my naked chef?
This would be a distraction too...

UPDATE
So, I finished True Meaning 2. I'll be starting edits on it and submitting by Friday.
As I said, I'm starting Out of Bounds, my IR romance novella by Michael Mandrake
I still have
Taming, Closely Guarded, Mi Familia, and AS
I'll only be doing Mi Familia till the Novella is done and out.
Thanks for listening
