Woops, so I’m a little late in doing a weekly update. Let’s consider this a 2-week and a day late update then, shall we?
The Good:
- Work has kept me crazy busy. Now, normally I wouldn’t necessarily call this a good thing, but I’m recognizing that it indeed is. 1) It means that I’m obviously of value at work, heh. And 2) I haven’t had much time or energy to sulk over my slowed writing progress, which I’ll discuss later.
- Taxes are done, filed, accepted and processed. Refunds have even been received. May not sound like much to get worked up about to you, but when your taxes start looking as messy as ours do, you’d do a big whoop when they’re all finished, too.
- Remember how much I loved the first Dragon Age? We bought the special collector’s edition of Dragon Age II! I’m very excited – I hope I find it as entertaining as I did the first one.
The Bad:
- … I won’t be able to play any games any time soon. Like – probably not until mid-April at the earliest. I really want to finish up a couple of projects I’m working on before I let myself get sucked into a 40+ hour game. Plus it’s a single player game, and the husband is hogging it up anyway.
- I still haven’t won the lottery or figured out how to travel back in time. *sighs* Yet, somehow I still manage.
The Funny:
His father tells him, “Sure. If you meet a girl you like, fall in love and marry her, then maybe you can have a baby together some day.”
*laughs* If women really held to such high olfactory standards when looking for a mate, there would hardly be a married man on the planet. Heh.
The Work In Progress:
Book cover design ideas for my next upcoming title, WAY OUT OF CONTROL, have been sent to the Art Director. Now I just wait to see what they come up with based on my ideas. So far I have been far from disappointed, and so I have high hopes that it will be lovely.
I now have abandoned (or at least temporarily separated from) not 1, but 2 writing projects. Weeks have gone by now since I’ve made progress on either story. Sure I could try to blame part of this on how mentally drained I’ve been lately, but I’m not accepting that as a valid excuse. If I was truly vibing with either story right now, I know I’d make the time.
So I’m putting both manuscripts aside for now and am starting on a brand new one that is yet to be named. Once I’ve fleshed out the idea a little more, I’ll talk more about it. Hopefully I won’t change my mind and switch stories again by next week’s update.

If you're not happy with the way the stories are flowing, then don't force them….and who knows, you may come back to them at a later date!
That was your oldest that you had the convo with, yes? He's so damn sweet I can't stand it.
AND you just reminded me I need to file my taxes….yikes!
Yeah, I tried forcing them and it wasn't working. Not sure if it was the stories or me. Feel like I'm in a rut right now …
Yes that was my oldest, bless his heart.
i keep telling you to marry up. You can still keep the current hubby as a nanny. IJS
I am definitely feeling the mental exhaustion. I am whipped this week myself but productive. Spend your energies where they are most important and it will all work out. I think it is the weather, too. Everyone I know is tired and cranky. Hopefully spring with spring forth and turn everyone's mood around.
And that 6 year old is too adorable. Will a girl want to marry him? lol Of course they will! Just don't let his father poot anywhere near her.
Taxes? Eh I'm taxed to death…ugh.
Have a great rest of the week!
CC sweetie I'm so mentally drained right this money I could cry. I don't know what the heck is wrong with me. Maybe you're on to something about the dreary weather affecting my mood and light – it IS about time for spring already.
Tristan may be on to something though about the stinky poots. Hubby let one loose in the bed the other day and I swear I immediately started fantasizing about divorce lawyers.
Thanks CC, you enjoy your week too!
OMG that story with your oldest he is so dang cute! Just adorable!!!
Taxes….yea I'll get to them one of these days lol
*smiles* Thanks Beth.
I would offer to do your taxes for you but … I don't wanna.
Taxes ewww, did mine this week and I had to kick myself to sit and get them ready.
Good to see things are going well and you are busy. I hope you get to write some more.
Thanks Savannah. I hope I do, too. *sighs*
