Monday Check In

Last week...

Writing Related:  I received feedback from my beta readers so this week I'll be incorporating their remarks and/or suggestions into the manuscript. There isn't too much that they marked up so I'm hoping to have everything completed by the end of the week.

Motivational Quote:  "I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it." ~ Groucho Marx

What I'm Reading: I started reading Quarter to Midnight by Karen Rose last night. It has 594 pages! Needless to say I won't be finishing it in a couple of days.

Random Thoughts:  School supplies are on sale. I've already purchased a couple of binders that I needed. While I don't need to buy any, I find myself perusing the notebooks, folders, and pens. I'll probably pick up a package of pens because you can never have enough pens. I'll also get a few one subject and composition notebooks because I use those for plotting and journaling. I do a journal for each book while I'm writing it.

 Last week was an exercise is frustration and patience (which I never seem to have enough of). Believe me when I say there weren't enough cookies in the grocery store to make me happy.

What's Up Wednesday

This week...

My Current WIP (Work in Progress):  No writing progress last week. I had a few things crop up that took up my writing time. I plan on getting a lot done this week since things have quieted down.

Quote of the Week: "You can't expect to win the jackpot if you don't put a few nickels in the machine." ~ Flip Wilson

What I'm Reading: I did go to the library last Friday. I borrowed Say You're Sorry by Karen Rose. I started reading it Friday evening and finished it yesterday evening. It was a long book (619 pages in the hardcover edition), but well worth reading.

Random Thoughts: I hate to complain about the weather during the summer because I hate the winter season so I feel like I shouldn't complain about the warm weather. That being said, I am so done with temperatures in the high 80's to low 90's with oppressive humidity.
