Working at work

 I transferred all my docs to google docs because I can easily open them at work.  This week I have been working on my book during some down time. I find that I am more productive during the day at work.  

I addition, I have come to realize that I am going to have to plot more than I have in the past.  I am truly a pantser.... flying by the seat of my pants kind of writer.... but my 3rd book got a little confusing.  So I have a note book and am doing a synopsis of each chapter and what I want to write in it.  I have about 8 chapters done.  I have about 4 more to go.  I have it all in my head, I just have to get it down on paper.  

And I have been writing on my other books too.  the 4th book is going to be related to the 3rd book. They are stand alone books, but there are references back and forth between both of them. So I now am setting this up in my chapter notebook to kind of keep track.  So I guess now I am a plotting pantser??  

I am excited about the 4 upcoming books... and hell, I'm excited about the other books in my brain.  I think one is better than the other and I can't wait to get them all down on paper.  But one day at a time... one book at a time..... well... maybe two books at a time.  

And I have decided that I need to learn spanish.  I  took years of it in high school, but you all know how that goes.... use it or lose it.  I set up an account with babbel and so did my boss.  So we are both learning spanish from the beginning at the same time.  

Squeezing all this fun into one day!!  Oh my!!

later taters......

Change of weather

 Its almost spring and... sadly, I have not been writing much.  It is all in my head and it goes round and round.  But sitting my ass in my chair and getting those words down on the page... I keep saying.. tomorrow... tomorrow.  

Slacker.... :)

I have uploaded my vignettes to google docs so that I can do some writing at work also.  It is quiet time at work until say.... the end of March.... and then its going to get busy. 

But I like to write at work.  That is where I did most of my first book.  Much to the dismay of my boss.  But ultimately he was cool about it.  As long as I was discrete.  

I am looking forward to the spring.  Not that our winter here was so bad.  It really wasn't.  One small snow storm and the next day it was all cleared out. I am getting the spring cleaning urge to purge!  watch out junk, here i come.

So getting my books over to google docs, I can now play around at work and I am feeling good about that. 


Have a great day all and enjoy

 New Year - 2025 Life really does pass on fast.  It is now 2025. A new year, new start, new ideas.  Have not been writing much, shame on me....
