Another Monday is upon us … eye candy to get through the day.
Enjoy.
Month: November 2009
Friday Fess-up (late)
It’s not really Friday but I’ve been editing all week – staring at my computer screen so much that my eyes have begun to protest and I’m running late so late I feel guilty. Hence the title Friday Fess-up (late). Anyway, I have seven projects underway, so many that I’m starting to get a little confused by what I’ve done and to which project. I think I need to create a checklist. A really good one with reminders and all. Any suggestions?
The week that was:
New words – 3740 on His Man of Business
Chapters edited – 10 across two stories
Struggle and rewards – enjoyed a yummy breakfast on Friday with DH but couldn’t get back into writing when I got home. I know – bad Heather.
Biggest Disappointment – Australia Post has lost my Hula Hoop. Someone better not be using it right now. I don’t want it worn out and all the benefits worn away!
Unexpected Achievement – wrote a 1000 word short story for fun Monday Night and will post it later as a free read.
High Point – an editor is reading one of my stories so I did a little happy dance.
Fingers crossed and back to editing !

It’s been a busy week on the web. So much to read, so much to write and edit but here’s the best web posts I found.

Man Monday
Since Monday is the hardest day of the week I thought there should be an appropriate image.
Enjoy….

Back to editing …
Finding a blog topic this month has proved difficult. I was all set up to do NaNoWriMo again this year but while I waited out October a funny thing happened.
I couldn’t not write. It was so strange. After three days I started a new short story (to fill in the time, you understand) – that’s now stretched into a 20K novella. Oops.
I was still editing an older story but had planned to stop on the 15th. I was doing really well with that until I got a rejection. Rejections seem to kill my day. They shouldn’t – I know that but getting form rejections is frustrating.
So the next day, wondering what I could do better, I started reading the rejected story. With my head still in editing mode I got ruthless with the paper copy and a red pen.
A week before the 1st I put everything away and had a few peaceful days. That only gave me time to think up another novella, and its now stretched into a full erotica series centred around a family run brothel. *hands on head* Clearly, I shouldn’t be left alone with my imagination.
Editing what I’ve already written is my priority leading up to Christmas. I just couldn’t stay in the NaNo groove. If you’re not doing NaNo, what’s yours?
