I’m so happy today. I finally had some cracker bread
and it tasted good. We haven’t bought potatoes yet, but it is only a matter of
time. Yay! So, this week started off pretty hectic, as I have a ton of data to
process for my brother, which will probably keep me busy until next week. The
funny thing about doing data is the unpredictability of your workload. You can
have one slow day and then the next day you have so much data to do that it
keeps you busy for weeks.
Now that I’m back to working on such a large
workload, the creativity kicks in. I’m thinking up new story ideas when I’m
supposed to be concentrating on numbers. But I’m not mad at my creative side.
Instead I’m welcoming her back with open arms. After all, I had missed her. She
was playing hard to get, the tease.
Speaking of creative, I've started with my first
round of rewrites for book two. It is slow, but I want to make sure that I’m
taking the story in the right direction. So far, so good. I am definitely
getting the feel for the book and its different than book one, but I think
it’s good. I haven’t started tackling the large problems yet, but I will be
getting to it this week.
So, what are you up to? Do tell…
Glad the creativity is back!
ReplyDeleteHope those potatoes find a way back in...
Thank you Alex. I can't wait to eat a potato.
DeleteGo and buy potatoes now :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you've got the spark back. Perhaps you need numbers to help unlock the words. I find playing Sudoku helps me.
We're going to town tomorrow, then I'll get me some potatoes. Can't wait! Right now with all the data, I don't want to see anymore numbers. But the writing is coming along, just slower than I would like.
DeleteI love it! When we're productive, our brains kick it into high gear. So much better than last week. Way to kick the slows and find your spark!
ReplyDeleteWhat am I up to? Prepping for baby. I've got a dresser stock with little girl clothes. Not much longer now...
Thank you! Yes, My brain surprises even me sometimes. Oh, goodie. I bet that little girl is going to love her new clothes and big sister. All the best with the birth and the waiting. I hope the birth goes well and that there won't be too much pain.
DeleteNo need to rush the rewrites.
ReplyDeleteYou know what they say - slow and steady wins the race...
What am I up to? Just excited about the release of the collaborative anthology titled: Of Mist And Magic. My urban fantasy story is in there.
Congratulations! I will check it out.
DeleteI do find that when I'm doing highly technical work, my creative side seems to thrive. I think we have to feed that side of ourselves!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! I don't always like technical work, but my creative side seems to like it.
DeleteKiss that creativity. Mama is busy editing.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I will. All the best with the editing.
DeleteGood luck with the rewrites. Revising is actually my favorite part of the process. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm starting to like the rewriting part to.
DeleteHi Murees - things always seem to work out .. sometimes they seem to take a while to arrive - but don't lose your creative thoughts .. I hope you're recording them carefully somewhere ... and enjoy those potatoes when they arrive! Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThank you Hilary! The potatoes were delicious! I just have to watch how much of them I eat these days.
