What's Up Wednesday

This week...

My current WIP (work in progress): I only managed 6 pages of new material last week. I've been having a lot of things come up that need to be done during the time I normally reserve for writing. I'm hoping that changes soon.

Quote of the Week:  “Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.” ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen  (I'm repeating last week's quote because I need to keep it at the forefront of my mind.)

What I'm reading: The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne. This is the first book in the Victorian Rebels series. I'm absolutely loving this book. I hadn't read any of Ms. Byrne's work before. I'm glad I picked this one up on a whim and will definitely be checking out her other books.

Random Thoughts:  I am hoping, praying for a major change to occur and doing as much as I can to facilitate it, but not having total control over when the change will happen is killing me. I'm not very good at waiting for things to happen.

What's Up Wednesday

This week...

My current WIP (work in progress): I managed to get a small amount of writing done last week. Not nearly as much as I hoped, but had unexpected appointments crop up.

What I'm reading:  Deadly Silence by Rebecca Zanetti. I started this book last night. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.

Random Thoughts:  You know that old adage, "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry?" That's how I'm feeling this week. I was determined that I would write every day this week when I got home from the day job. Well, I had to take one cat to the vet yesterday after work and was there was for an hour and a half. Today, I have to take the other cat to the vet to see if he has the contagious virus the first cat has. I'm hoping I won't be there quite so long this afternoon.
