Last Thursday my son started school. Ah — the house is quiet and the days are . . . not really very quiet. Who knew that the carbon monoxide detector would keep going off once I unplugged it? Always, always, always check for a battery back up.
And how did I know there wasn’t a problem? It wasn’t the steady scream of an alarm. It was a beep beep beep. And there was nothing that could create carbon monoxide.
But it makes for a wonky day when you hear a beep every 90 seconds or so. And then it stops. And then in starts. Ooops. There it is again.
Fingers crossed that maybe today will be a bit more . . . words fail me. Regular? Quiet? A bit more compatible with writing? Yes, that’s it. Although, in spite of the stupid detector, I did manage about 6300 words last week.
My goals for the week are:
- 5 posts for One Writer’s Journey. Done.
- Post a review on the Bookshelf. Done.
- 1 post for PrayPower. Done.
- Write my post for the Church blog. In progress.
- Brainstorm some new writing ideas. Done.
- Finish outlining the middle grade.
- Write a new first chapter for the middle grade.
- Work on a new pitch for Writer’s Digest. In progress.
- Solicit more interviews for my next CW piece. In progress.
- Wrap up the non-sample chapter portions of the book proposal.
