What's Up Wednesday

This week...

My Current WIP (Work in Progress): Due to the flu-like illness I suffered from most of last week, I didn't get much done. I'm working hard this week to get some forward progress.

What I'm Reading: I started Outfox by Sandra Brown on Sunday. I'm not very far into it yet. 

Random Thoughts: One thing I love about the colder weather is that I can start baking bread again. I rarely bake in the summer due to the heat and humidity. I have a number of new bread recipes I want to try. I made herbed focaccia rolls this past Sunday that came out pretty well.

On The Road Again

I am finally feeling back to my normal self after days of migraine type headaches, horrible vertigo, and waves of nausea.

Needless to say, I didn't get much writing done last week. I didn't get much of anything done last week. I spent most of my time doing the bare minimum that had to be done each day and trying to sleep as much as I could (and taking copious amounts of Tylenol and drinking ginger tea). I always felt better when I was able to lay down.

I spent yesterday figuring out many pages I need to write each day until the end of the year (except for the holidays of course) to meet my goals. It's very doable so I'm back on track with my writing and have restarted my exercise routine after not doing any exercise last week.

This I know for sure...

No post today. Still down with the flu type illness.

What's Up Wednesday

No post this week. I am suffering through a bout with the flu.

Celebrating!

I had a breakthrough with the story problem I was having (filling in a gap in the story I found while revising it). I thought I'd had the problem solved before, but once I started working with the idea I'd had, it quickly became apparent my great idea wasn't so great.

A new idea came to me last Tuesday morning while I was brushing my teeth. I contemplated the idea all that day before writing a word. I was worried I'd have another false start so I jotted some notes, checked back to scenes earlier in the story, and even sketched out a few buildings, streets, and such in my imaginary town on paper. I wrote a few pages on Wednesday and everything started to come together.

Eureka! Problem solved. Finally. Finally! I'm working hard on filling in those missing pages so I can get back to revising the remainder of the book.

This I know for sure...

Sunday is the only day of the week I can sleep in. (Not that I sleep in late, I'm always up between 7:00 and 7:15am.) It is also the only day of the week where I don't have to be up and out of the house by a certain time. It's the only day of the week where my time is my own to spend on things I want to do.

I absolutely hate having to give up the one day that's my own to go do something I'd rather not have to do because it's expected that I attend because it's a family related event, however remotely.

Anyone want to guess what I'll be doing this Sunday?
