I edited and refined two stories to submit to a contest. I don’t know how either of them will play for the company but they are strong stories even if one is a little controversial. That’s what I did with my morning yesterday.
A friend came over and she graded while I worked on editing and crocheted. I made her a lovely cowl and then worked on editing. It was a good day, yesterday.
I work two days this week and have the rest of the week off. I’m looking forward to the time off even though it will be busier than I normally like to be. Vicki will be home and I wish Gin and Stephanie could come home but we will video chat with them for the holidays.
I have five days off but each and every one of them is booked so full, I could wish for a vacation from the holiday. Hopefully it isn’t too crazy but I have the feeling this is a futile hope. I have all this stuff to do with Vicki and at the same time I have all this stuff in my head I want to get done.
I’m looking at getting one book out in January – I’d like to get the fourth Wayfarer book out – Wayfarer Negotiator. I am working on edits right now which always takes a bit but hopefully shortly after the Christmas holiday, I’ll have time to finish refining it.
It will be on to the fifth book after that. It needs the edits on the computer and all the extras. Hopefully that will happen shortly after I get four done. However, I have the Defenders third book to work on. I want to finish that before I dive into more stories. Once those are done, I’ll dive into my pile of starts or my ideas and see what comes out as interesting.
Over the five days off, I’m hoping to get my craft room organized so I can have my yarn organized and easily accessible. I know I want to work on a few smaller projects but I also have three larger projects to do.
At some point I’ll find a balance amongst all the things I do – I hope. If I don’t, I guess I’ll continue with the craziness of working like a mad woman on crocheting to get things done and then switching to writing and so on.
