writing 01-09
Writing group meeting in an hour. Spent the last five hours (seriously!) reading and critiquing 40k words because I just can't be bothered to plan ahead. Orororo... @_@

On the other hand, writing group meetings are always good to spike my writer's bug into gear. Current plan: complete YA novel draft by mid-March, so that I can submit chapters 1-2 for review at the beginning of March, get them reviewed at the mid-March meeting (preferably after draft is complete) and then dive right into revision.

I just can't buckle down. So easily distracted by other stories and ideas. Case in point: wrote prologue chapter yesterday for YA novel sequel, because it wouldn't leave me alone. Yes, SEQUEL. There's that damn optimism again, assuming the first book will actually be published, and also be successful enough to demand additional story. Yikes, yikes, and more yikes.

Planning to go sledding tomorrow morning while the snow lasts and I have a day off work. :) Then writing in the afternoon, with you-know-who if she's up for it. *nudge*

Oooh...sledding. Haven't done that in a ton of years. Last time I did anything in the snow fun was skiing at Mad River while Dylan, his brother, and our friends went tubing. They all took bets I would break my leg, but Dylan, being the supportive hubby he is, only bet that I would get hurt, but not as bad as a break. Fell 3 times, but no breaks.

I understand totally about things "getting in the way" of what you intend to do....my newest game Guitar Hero is proving to be a HUGE time drain...and the fact I took on another stitching model Friday doesn't help either.

Housework can wait...I got some gigs to play....

Yay sledding! I really hope it's not too cold tomorrow - it's frigid out there right now. I've actually never been skiing.

My time drain is World of Warcraft. Still. You'd think I'd be sick of it after a couple years, but nooooo...oh and I still have my knitting...

GAH! I totally missed you. Didn't check e-mail the whole dang weekend, or LJ, for that matter. Hope the sledding was fun! Write write write! :D

Haha that's okay. I could've called, but figured you were busy or something. No big deal. I got my Christmas tree down instead, which really needed to be done. :P

Sledding was fun, especially with April's dog Flint along. He was hysterical in the snow. :)

Now...writing!!!
