The Silver Lining

I feel like a real, full-time writer, not a full time procrastinator. From 8:30 am to 2 p.m. every day this week (except for Wed because I teach Bible Study), I worked tirelessly on my WIP. I have 5,400 words to show for it and I can't wait to start back next week! 

One thing that happened today was scary--a part of my vision just blanked out—similar to when I have a migraine, but different, too. Once I got off the computer for a while it went away but it took several minutes to get my vision back. I wonder if sitting at the computer for 5 hours a day is affecting me? Has this happened to any of you?

Today I actually DID my revisions for FOUR HOURS! I'd make even Stephen King proud. Yesterday I really tried, but couldn't. I could only write for two hours and then I had to quit. You know when it's just losing you? I'm so glad I did that so I could get a fresh start today. I didn't run like I usually do and so that gave me some extra time. 

I have been reading, but not the usual--it's called THE RED HAT CLUB. It's pure chick lit with a granny Southern flavor twist. I'm enjoying it, even though it's not too tough on the noggin. Tee hee! This is my book club read. I joined a book club so that I'd get some adult reading in otherwise, I'd only read mg and YA.

And to top off my good day, I received my first royalty check for MM. Very happy about that...money always makes me happy, especially in CA--I REALLY need it here. HA!
