I think it's week 40, but these days, who knows? :shrug:
Earlier in the week, I was doing pretty good at doing something writerly every day. It lasted 3 days. I'll try to start that up again today. START TODAY*. Okay, so those three days, I added words to the end of DN3 and then I got stuck because I haven't touched the damn book in weeks, so I went back to the beginning and I'm reading through it all to get back into the story. I'm up to page 49 and hit a spot where I either have to write a new scene or go back and delete the paragraph where I hint about the maid needing to talk to Duke privately. We'll see what happens.
I did some marketing this week. Ugly and the Beast was free and I moved 64 copies of that, and one copy of Sleeping Ugly. (I also sold a copy of Dying Embers (print copy... woot).) Starting tomorrow, Project Hermes will be free for five days.
I didn't do a Reading Wrap-up this week because I didn't finish anything. I am in the middle of reading a Phyllis Whitney that I suspect I may have read before. :shrug"
In baking news, I make a chocolate oil cake with strawberry jam and vanilla buttercream. It's yummy. Friday, I made chili and to go with it, cornbread. Yay.
On the activity front, I didn't do a lot of very active things, but I did things. One day I walked. I did some limb cutting and I cut down a nuisance tree. I vacuumed and brushed the kitchen rug, which yielded me enough cat hair to build a third cat, if I wanted. And I did Wallyworld, which is always a workout. Let's not talk about weight, eh? I'm going to call what I just saw on the scale an anomaly. Derp.
The deck garden is still producing tomatoes, so yay. I get one ripe one at a time, which is perfect for burgers or sandwiches. As long as the warm holds out, I should still be getting 'maters. Of course, as long as the warm holds out, it delays my ability to plant trees, so there's that. (Heat, bugs, etc.)
I'm finally getting over the jetlag from my trip. Funny how the change of just an hour can really mess a body up. And I get to do it again next month... change times not travel. Stupid timechanges. Blerg.
Nothing else really going on around here. Hubs and I have some projects we're talking about doing, but we haven't firmed anything up yet, so they don't bear talking about at this time.
Anyway... see ya next time. Have a great day! And if you're so inclined, leave a comment. I enjoy comments.
*'Start today' was supposed to be my mantra for the year. We all know how that has gone so far.
Yay for maters. Better for you than me. I'll cheer them on because you love them.
ReplyDeleteI don't really bake any more (weight and LG's diabetes) but I came across my recipe for that peanut butter/chocotlate pie and now I want one. I may (or may not) add the crust to my grocery list.
I did Wallyworld. I was in and out in less than an hour but I lost $40 bucks in the deal. *sad bear noises* 😕That was my "charitable" contribution for the year.
Writing? What is this mysterious thing of which you speak? Yeah, I was a slug, despite good intentions. However, I did knuckle down yesterday and got through a bunch of snippets, putting notes on them. I have 8 to finish up. Then I'll switch to the corkboard view and move the scenes around so they are in some semblance of timeline order and I can start writing to fill in the blanks. This is my goal for today then the plan for the week is to write new stuff every day. We'll see.
I listened to the "end" of the Hidden Legacy series. Wish the authors would get back to the final trilogy. They had reasons for stalling but it's been 3 1/2 years and no real end in sight to the conflict that caused them to delay. Anyway. I'm on to JD Robb, relistening to the Feb. '25 release then the Sept. release. After that, no sure.
It's hot. I want REAL Fall.
PITA Pup is still a pain but he's a sweet pain. Also a good excuse to not get out and go places. Hello. My name is Silver and I belong to the Hermits Anon club.
Okay, time to get off the net and work. Later, tater!
