Monday Check In

Last week...

Writing Related:  I had a good writing week. I wrote a new chapter and revised the chapter prior to that. I also wrote an 8 page scene for the next book in the series that kept popping into my head. I didn't want to lose the scene so I put it down on paper and put it into that's story's folder along with all of my other notes for it.

What I'm Reading:  I started reading Bayou Dreaming by Lexi Blake yesterday afternoon. It's the third book in the Butterfly Bayou series. I'm really enjoying the series.

Random Things:  I'm using a calendar tracking system this year to help keep me on top of things that need to be done related to my writing. Although I've only been using it for two weeks, I think it's going to work really well. I've already taken care of a few of the things I wanted to have accomplished by the end of the month.

Writing Related -- I had a really good week despite losing two days of writing time due to appointments and working late. I'm going to try really hard to get this manuscript finished by the end of October. It seems very doable right now.

What I'm Reading: I started reading Butterfly Bayou by Lexi Blake last night. This is the first book I've read by this author. 

Random Things: Last week I wrote that I was fighting the urge to bake cookies. I lost the battle. I made a small batch (2 dozen) of chocolate chip peanut butter cookies. I took a half dozen into work, dropped off the other half dozen to one of my sisters, and my mom and I split the remaining dozen. We ate the last couple of cookies last night with a cup of tea while we were watching television. My "share" lasted a whole week which is a big win for me.
