Sunday ~ A Summary ...

Sunday Features To Start The Week Right...

Annalise Green explored a concept that we authors have to deal with, using wit and humor to make light of our struggles.  Nicely done, I'm recommending the read to brighten your day - and probably lighten your mood.  Entitled,

The Strange but Necessary Doublethink of a Writer, by Which I Mean Me and Probably Only Me, and also This Title is Long, and Now It’s Longer

Green's post struck a chord.  In no way, Annalise, are you the only practicer (I know, I made that one up) of 'doublethink'...As a matter of fact, I find it a brilliant strategy!

Quote Of The Week ~ by W. J. Smith

No Space Available

Don't rent space. The world is full of "tire kickers", haters, and self preserving characters. These thrive on excuses and others' let downs. Your life is influenced only by what you allow it to be, who you permit to rent space.

-W.J. Smith

Goals.

I've managed to hit all my goals except for the typing.  Ack!  I've got to get this typing done!  I'm currently in the last third of the book, and stalling.  Evading.  Avoiding. 

NaNo has been my latest excuse - although I've done my fair share of typing there, negating it as a valid excuse.  Oy.  I've hit 13k in my NaNo project!  This is more than exciting to me, as I have never just turned it off and written before.  I don't know that I would do it all the time, but WOW is it freeing!  The story is pouring out of me faster than I can get it down.  

Okay...back to reality.  This week I have to knuckle down and get it done!  No excuses.  For real.  (I'm giggling even while writing this...NOT a good sign.)  ;}

That's it for me today...short and sweet!  Have a lovely Sunday.  I've got a date with my NaNo novel, with my keyboard, and with my kitchen - I believe I have a hankering for rice pudding - and falafel - (Yeah..I don't know where these combinations come from, I just cook it and eat it) ??  And, I have to clean my home.  I absolutely cannot work in a cluttered, messy, dusty, unorganized space.  (My husband would insist here that I've a touch of the OCD, but who listens to him?)  Once that's finished, the kitchen smells lovely with the aroma of deliciousness, pumpkin spice candles are flickering, and I've got my hot tea steaming beside me...it's going to be nice.  Productive.  Fun.  Satisfying.  (This is my positive thought 'therapy'...ha!)
