The ...I'm trying to figure out my writing schedule. The girlfriend moved in and I have to rework when I do what. Wanted to finish one book this month. I need another 13,000 words or so. Not a huge task, but I've only had one chance to really work on it and got about 1500 words out of that day. (And my main character took off with the story completely. Just where does he think he's going? For Pete's sake.)<BR/><BR/>Too much stuff to do around the house. Work has gotten busy again and I've had a few booked weekends to contend with. But it's always something and my priorities need to shift again. <BR/><BR/>*sigh* The never ending task of placing priorities in the right order. Don't know why I can't do it all.Sarah Laurensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252565450452195395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20015448.post-45550164830404689882008-04-13T21:16:00.000-07:002008-04-13T21:16:00.000-07:00LOL Conduit.

Back to the keyboard my friend, and no Guinness until you're finished. Not that I buy into any kind of Irish stereotype or anything.<BR/><BR/>Robin, my head is spinning, but at least you're writing, so yay for you!McKoalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01457446171624585099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20015448.post-31684523938986610962008-04-13T17:04:00.000-07:002008-04-13T17:04:00.000-07:00I'm working through my chapters, one by one.

It's a tough one, as I wrote it in two waves - the first- well, well over a year ago- and the second - in the past few months. <BR/><BR/>Chapter 7 is special to me - I'm spending next week on that one.<BR/><BR/>Then, because of the intensity of the subject matter of the next 3 chapters- I'm fast-forwarding to chapter 10 on, to polish up, and will dig in for 8 and 9 in, most probably, mid-May.<BR/><BR/>But for now- I'm making good progress with blending chapter 6 versions this week - expect to finish afetr a marathon this evening, after a week's work.<BR/><BR/>Chapter 5 was last week- it was a bear to reconfigure - for the reason why - see note on Chapter 6please. <BR/><BR/>What can I say? I'm a convoluted writer.Robin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03258459688300851984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20015448.post-33123886386738838852008-04-13T07:31:00.000-07:002008-04-13T07:31:00.000-07:00"Writer's Faff" - I suffer from that.
