And now for some more writing
Yes, of course I am about to express my concern of my ever expanding list of current or on-going projects. Besides my current BIAM I am now jumping into another writing challenge for 10 days on a new project and that goal is for 20k. Insane, you say? Perhaps. But I must remind all whom read this that I do nothing but write and read and of course basic household and human functions – wake up, shower, eat, wash dishes – you get the picture. Anyhow besides my writing projects I am now a book reviewer. Yup, you read correctly reviewing is all new to me but of course with my writing load I enjoy reading and reading with a purpose is even better.
I get to see my surgeon on Wednesday I am not looking forward to this at all. In the past few months since I last saw him I attempted to work and ended up literally blacking out. Everytime I go up three or four steps my knees creak and crack so loudly that everyone turns to look at me and I have lost five pounds. Not much I know but since I am unable to do normal excerises I think that is pretty good. My personal goal is to lose the last 50 lbs. in time for my summer trip next year even if I lose 20 I will be thrilled.
As an added bonus on my next post I will have the title for my BIAM up – since I am still undecided at which of two titles I want everyone has to wait and see. Now back to writing and don’t forget to check out the added links they are to some of my favorite places to visit online.
And now for some good news
I have signed the contract now I just have to submit the finished project. Cobblestone like my proposal for the Vampire Oracle series and I have Ashes. Well, I signed the contract about a week ago or so but I wasn’t allowed to say anything until everyone else in the series was notified. Then I lost my password for my wordpress account and everytime I tried to get another my internet explorer had to shut down so I gave it a few hours and here I am.
Now that I got my nerves back I can focus my attention on other things like finally digging up my notes for my main stream project – The Past and the Present. I am hoping to get a good chunk of this done before the year is out and well August is already half way over and I have a few other projects in the works.
Hmm, I think I better stop now before I give myself more work. Oh, yeah and I soon I will be doing reviews I really look forward to this. My goal is to be as honest as possible without ripping out the hearts of some people in the process, but there is so much good work if not interesting books out there that I don’t think that will be too much of a problem.
Writing in Progress
I wonder if they have a poster or a sign with this message maybe than I can plaster it on my door so no one bugs me when I am in a writing trance. Yup, I call it a writing trance one of those rare -of -lately moments when you sit to do some writing and the ideas just flow without stopping and before you know it four or more hours have passed. One of my favorite places to write is my bed (great when I am really sore but want to work) and another place is your local starbucks, second cup or williams coffee pub I love all three. Nice comfy seats, normally quiet but with headphones I hardly notice and loads of caffine (my addiction besides Gary Oldman and chocolate). But until my laptop is fixed I am stuck at my desktop slowly getting some work done. I miss A.J!!! Anyway does anyone else have a favorite place they like to write?
Book in a month = More Work
Yup, I have taken the plunge and going to be doing a BIAM over at the Cobblestone mainstreet forum. My goal is to do 1k a day and still work on my other projects. As you have probably noticed I have also changed things around here just a little bit. Strangly enough I am putting more focus into my writing and has fixed up my blogs (my other one is still up and running and changed also). I have decided to keep after all by making this one my main one where I post my progress and moan about my depressing life – did I mention I got my knees x-rayed finally let’s just say it don’t look too good for me. I should have everything up and running by next weekend. So stay tuned for more details.
