Slacking off

I confess, I am totally slacking off – not pushing myself, not trying to find more hours in the day, not even feeling guilty about it. I’m getting through my one chapter a day of crits and doing nothing of my own – I think it’s been four days since I finished reading my novella [...]

Excitement

Considering that 9 months ago (round about), I was having a hard time getting into editing Lifelines – almost to the point of bashing my head against the wall and giving up on the dream completely – I am feeling pretty darn good about it these days.
At that point, I hadn’t yet admitted that it [...]

10 sleeps til Xmas

Well, that’s what I heard this morning anyway – not many to go at all! I really need to get myself sorted out and everything finalized for it soon. I only have a few things left to get/sort out, biggest on the list is getting some nice photos of the girls to put into frames [...]

Week’s end.

Between growth spurts, immunisations and regular stuff, I really don’t feel like I got a lot of the writing work done this week – I have managed bits here and there though, it’s just that it’s reading/editing rather than actual writing.
I find it always feels like less work when I can’t think back to a [...]

*sigh*

Yesterday felt like one of those days. It was frustrating, and my levels of annoyance increased as the day went on (well, other than the lovely couple of hours I spent at my Mum’s using her washing machine).
The washing machine broke – oh joy – of course, it’s on the day I had a big [...]

Yesterday I tackled that crit, I hit 96K on Ayden, I did some planning for the second to last bit of Ayden, I wrote up a summary of where the KW project is at, I read through Dream Dark, I signed up for [...]

Yay

A second night of improved sleep – I could get used to this, but I won’t, just in case lol.
Yesterday was hugely successful. I managed to get that crit done and emailed off, and I read/made notes on three stories from the Critters queue. I didn’t manage any writing of my own, but thats ok, [...]

Look Ma, no hands!

My wrap arrived the other day. I love it, Lauren loves it, Ivy loves it – hubby is yet to try it on and be convinced I think he’s worried about looking like a hippy or something. Bah, men need to get over themselves sometimes! Ivy mostly loves it because it means I [...]

I almost didn’t

Write last night. I had pretty much written off getting anything done at all – between phone calls from family, cooking/eating dinner, getting Ivy into bed, feeding Lauren almost constantly, bathing her, trying to get her into bed and feeling absolutely exhausted myself – I was sure it wasn’t going to happen.
But then I decided [...]

Hilarity

I woke up laughing this morning. I know, it sounds weird, but I tell you what it’s a damn side nicer than waking up cranky which is how I seem to wake most mornings lately.
It might have helped that I went to bed laughing as well…
Every night I go through my little night time ritual. [...]
