Holiday Hang-ups

May 26, 2009

Well, I’m still trying to recover from my busy holiday weekend, plus my busy first day back at work.  Luckily, it poured rain this evening (and all day, too), so I had a good excuse to stay in and work on the writing this evening.  I can’t believe I cheered for rainy weather…but honestly, it was the only thing that could have kept me indoors, which was where I needed to be.  I’ve got a lot to do on the writing side right now, and I really have to force myself to put my butt in the chair this week.  I have follow-up snail mail queries to prep and send for my latest novel; a graphic novel query, sample script pages, and proposal to put together; a brand-new query and proposal to write for a not-so-new novel; and a brand spanking new novel to get rolling.  So, yeah, I have to get outside and tend the yard and plant tomatoes and crank up the swimming pool gear…but I also have to make sure I put in my time in the “hot seat.”  It’s the only way to make any progress on the writing front.  There’s just no other way.  See you tomorrow.
