Turning to a New Page
The book is done and sent and I’m a little worried because I actually liked it a lot. That never happens. But, we’ll wait and see what my editor thinks before worrying overmuch. I took an extravagant nap on Saturday, read, went to bed early. Yesterday, I finally saw Juno, which was good, but not fabulous, and again, went to bed early. It’s mostly like this after a book. The characters, however, are still swirling in my head. That will last for longer than one would think. Mostly until the next idea gels.
I’m also having a klutz day. Spilled coffee, then grabbing for cup spilled all the pills from my pill case and that was a royal pain in the ass. There’s a mouse who’s decided it likes our house, and chose the moment I was scrounging pills from the carpet to dash across the room. Can’t remember where we put the no-kill traps, so it looks as if I need to purchase more. Oh, and I really do have to have that root canal I’ve been putting off.
::sigh::
Not the best morning I’ve ever had.
I’m supposed to go plot new books with my writing buddy. I’m afraid I’ll somehow manage to blow up her house, though. I’m not usually this klutzy, but there are days when it hits like a ten-ton truck. I think I heard somewhere that there’s a hormonal thing going on that prompts this kind of nonsense. I hope it leaves before I take down the whole city.
Hope you’re all having a much better Monday!

Here’s hoping the hormonal-klutz-cloud has moved on by now. Your posts do make me smile . . and feel terrified at the same time - is this what I have to look forward to? *grin*

Oh I hate those kind of days! I don’t have them very often but when I do I think give me a couch and a blanky…then wake me when I am better :)
Hope the plotting is going good!
March 13th, 2008 at 12:28 pmHey, Willa! Yes, I’m not so klutzy after the really bad day. Just medium-klutzy as usual. And yep - this is it. Be Happy/Terrified is my new motto!
And hello Glenice! The plotting is going well - lots of emails between the editor and myself, just thinking up ways to keep me off the streets. So now you can rest easy and just be Happy/Terrified!
March 13th, 2008 at 1:10 pmWell I am happy you are off the streets!!!
I am terrified if I don’t get my butt to a bookstore I won’t get your book! Of course I can always order it…but I just love buying new books! :)
