WRITING: Actually wrote 6 out of 7 days, steady progress on Tapestry, editing and adding new words (+1,400). Research moving along. Funny to realize how I learn more about my characters as I write dialogue! Meeting with writers' group Monday night.
MARKETING: Getting ready for Saturday's launch party for Rivers of Stone with newsletter, FB posts, and fliers to handout. I'm excited and nervous at the same time, though now this story seems like something that happened another lifetime ago. So, should I do what others have done and combine all three books into one e-book?
COMMUNITY: Doing better here. Read/commented on posts by others x11. Finished beta read for one writer; have another ready to read. Didn't post on Writing blog this week -- so next week for sure. Still so far behind with decluttering e-mail (averaging about 160 unread) . Read 6 books this week (escape! escape!). Still adjusting to walking less. Hate pain meds. Did exercise 5x (water aerobics with no touching the bottom of the pool). Quilting? Making good progress on the 'owl' quilt. Finally mastered how to thread the fancy machine. Starting either an African quilt or aboriginal or finishing something!
Last week, a walk at Manito Park found my favorite tree in the Japanese Garden in full bloom. Hooray for spring into nearly summer.
Oh! I love trees, Beth, and this one is exquisite.
ReplyDeleteHope you're on the mend soon. It looks like the writing is going very well.
Always a pleasure to "catch up" with you!
Excited about your launch party. I'm sure it will be a huge success!
ReplyDeleteWith everything else going on, I have no idea how you have time to read. I'm always so disappointed with myself for not reading more books, but it is the first thing to go when I have too much else to do. The water exercise will really help and you'll be back to 100% one day. Me? Probably not, because I just can't cut back on my walking!
Have a great week.
