Like with my writing. Going to these conventions and talking to these writers makes me feel like crap. I’ve been working on my novel for how long? Ugh! It’s never gonna get out there at this rate. I haven’t worked on it, really worked on it since last spring. And I was on such a roll them! I was writing like a chapter in one or two days!
Maybe when the kids get out of school I can write when I take them to the park or the playlands? Maybe? I dunno. Of course this month I haven’t done a lot of photography either.
*SIGH* I think I’m having an identity crisis sometimes. The stress is getting to me? Maybe.
ANd now as if that stuff wasn’t enough in combination with everything else, I have a costume bugging me that I must put together. Too fun! Plus a stack of books to read… HEHE How can a girl get it all done? Who knows! But we’ll see!
So my goals this summer.
1. Get at least 3-10 chapters written in my book.
2. Move
3. Find at least 5 actual photography gigs.
4. Continue reading
5. Find lots and lots of fun stuff for the boys and me to do!
6. Blog it all!
I’m SuperMom! I can do it all! Right? *GRINS* Sure! OK, it’s officially June 1. So all these things must be done by the start of school in September. WOOT. Gosh, I can’t believe the kids are out of school in only 17 days! Didn’t they just START?????

You think that is bad
so far all I have is a list of characters, and a basic story line. Even D is ahead of me. I have no time to get anything done.

Re: You think that is bad
My goal is generally 1000 words a day. But my life is such limbo right now that it is hard to do that. Since you’re new, I’ll tell you about my book progress… in a nutshell. Hubby and I came up with the idea back in 1995. Yeah, 10 years ago. I wrote a short story based on that world back that summer. Then began the book. Then I had a few moves (I’m currently at my 10th address in almost 11 years), a couple of babies, the whole Caramon being sick thing… so now? I’m on Chapter 10. Yeah not real far. Sad thing? I wrote HALF of that last spring! LOL Last spring was awesome. I was churning stuff out right before I left Ohio.
Keep trying. Even if it is just 150 words each day. 🙂

Ditto… I do this every year… I need to get into better writing shape… especially since I have a story that people read every chapter and It’s been taking nearly a year per chapter lately. Of course, part of that is because I’ve been taking writing courses….
Need. Better. Writing. Ethic. I want to come to Marcon as a guest author someday. 🙂

Yeah I need to finish it. I have a couple of you. I think what, two? ROFL… I’m thinking of the whole podiobook thing that I learned about this weekend. I don’t know that my book will be published, but what a great idea that would be if I can’t get it published. I’d like to get it out there once it is done. Hopefully I’ll finish it real soon? I’d like to.
OMG could you imagine the post when I do finally finish it? HEHE
Well I’ll be blogging my progress as I write so you can stalk me. 🙂

I’m still trying to fix it so I can submit it somewhere. This writing class I am always yapping about has been a big help, and also comments from friends like you.
