On and Off

It's been an on and off day in terms of writing. It is the weekend after all. I spent most of the day running errands and didn't have much time to spend on the computer. But the little bits and pieces of minutes I did get went straight into my writing. I have no illusion that I'm going to be able to write on the weekends, and I also have no illusion that I'm going to write every day. But there's no pressure, since I'm going to work on this slowly, deliberately and constantly.

For now though, I'm exhausted.

Remember Me?

Hey!

It's been a while. Book projects have been on hold as life and "day job" have taken over. I have a day job I love and am very passionate about. Have I ever told you that? How lucky I am to have two loves, hey?

Anyway, I haven't mourned any of the lack of writing on any of the novel attempts or that solo memoir attempt simply because I've been too busy enjoying the rest of my life.

But as always, I'm back to where I started. Word no. 1. Sentence no. 1. Paragraph no. 1. I'm not going to give up trying. It might take months or years, maybe even decades, but one of these days I'll surprise you and finish a novel.

Attempt no. 3 starts today. The goal is 800 words a day, hopefully more. I only have an hour a day to spare though, so I better make it count.
