Even when you don’t get home until 3:30 am from a ghost investigation – it’s still a day of rest. \u00a0A day to catch up on Once Upon a Time (my new favorite show, next to Castle and Bones), write, do laundry and dishes, and just renew myself. \u00a0I really do like this new schedule – I feel more alive. \u00a0And the words are coming again.<\/p>\n
The words are coming because of a few things: I’m doing the daily pages every day at 750words.com<\/a>, I’m taking the time to do things like watching TV again (a few selected shows only), and I’m reading again. \u00a0I just finished The Between<\/a>, by LJ Cohen, and now I’m reading Hard Magic<\/a>, by Laura Anne Gilman. \u00a0Because of that, and the fact that I’m on the right schedule, I’m getting words.<\/p>\n Which is good, because I’ve set myself a goal of finishing the first draft of Forgotten<\/em>, the book I’m currently working on. \u00a0I haven’t talked much about it here, and I won’t for a while, but it’s a totally different world than the Horseman books. \u00a0Ghost stories, in fact. \u00a0I love ghost stories, and now, I’m free to write the books I want to read. \u00a0So, first draft of Forgotten<\/em>\u00a0is on deadline for May 30th.<\/p>\n I need to post a honey do list for this year, but I’ll do that later. \u00a0The big things on it, though, are Forgotten<\/em>, the first draft of Schrodinger<\/em>\u00a0(whatever the title will be) and getting both Spells and Swashbucklers<\/em>\u00a0and Last Rites<\/em>\u00a0onto the shelves. \u00a0And, in non-writing stuff, I need to redesign the website. \u00a0Badly.<\/p>\n But today, I have just a few things to do:<\/p>\n – vacuum the living room<\/p>\n – empty the drainboard<\/p>\n – empty the sink<\/p>\n – 500 words \u00a0on Forgotten<\/em><\/p>\n – Update the calendar in the living room<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lots to do today, and daylight, as they say, is a-burnin’. \u00a0Good news is, I don’t have to get up at 6 am tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Even when you don’t get home until 3:30 am from a ghost investigation – it’s still a day of rest. \u00a0A day to catch up on Once Upon a Time (my new favorite show, next to Castle and Bones), write, do laundry and dishes, and just renew myself. \u00a0I really do like this new schedule …<\/p>\n– Daily pages<\/del><\/p>\n
