What's Up Wednesday

This week...

My Current WIP (Work in Progress): I received the comments from my beta readers. I went through them and made changes that needed to be made. This week I won't have much, if any, time to get any writing work done. I have appointments on 3 separate days and my mom has a doctor appointment on another day which pretty much kills my writing time for the week.

What I'm Reading: I'm still reading "The Blue Zones Solution: Eating and Living Like the World's Healthiest People" by Dan Buettner. I also started reading "Live and Let Pie" by Ellie Alexander over the weekend. 

Random Thoughts: My cat likes to go outside and sit on the porch even on the coldest winter days. I let come out on the porch with me for a few minutes and then I make him come inside. I don't want him to be out too long.

What's Up Wednesday

This week...

My Current WIP (Work in Progress): I sent images to the person who will be designing my covers and sent the first book out to a few beta readers. I've also set my 2020 goals. I still have to set up a couple of things I'm going to do to track how I'm doing on meeting those goals.

What I'm Reading: I started reading "The Blue Zones Solution: Eating and Living Like the World's Healthiest People" by Dan Buettner on Monday evening. It's less a book with healthy recipes and more about how various centenarians live, eat, manage stress, and exercise. I'm only a couple of chapters into it, but I'm already finding it fascinating.

Random Thoughts: I've been following or attempting to follow the Mediterranean diet way of eating for the last year or so. I didn't want to follow a diet like Keto, Paleo, or Low Carb. Most of those types of diets where you restrict what you eat can be hard to follow long term (at least for me) so I'm trying to read up on different ways to incorporate healthy cooking that seem a natural way to eat and feel less like a diet.
