This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.
I know I wrote… but I can’t actually tell you how much I got done. This week was chaos and sickness. thankfully my cough is slowing down. I was able to spend time with Joe on his birthday. and yesterday we had curry to celebrate the shared birthday month. First time trying goat curry. I enjoyed it thoroughly. (Nawab fine dining in Kanawha city, Wv. pricey but so worth it)
I will be hopefully able to get some writing in this week but since Friday is my birthday…I don’t guarantee that. I may be spending the day playing video games or reading my new books.
okay I have always been a voracious reader…and I am also easily distracted. I try to set up a goal for book reading of at least half an hour a day – which can be a good amount of time considering that I am quite a fast reader. the problem is that no one else will ever understand the half hour is my mind focused on the book.
that being said … I realized something earlier. in any given day I will read a dozen news articles and perhaps half as many stories that are sent to me for publication or put up on A03…(no I will not ever reveal my tags) so I spend still quite a bit of time reading even if I don’t go through books as often as I used to.
It’s fairly frustrating as I used to go to the library and get 20 books for 2 weeks and easily return them on time. I have always loved reading. And now I am finding myself changing what I am reading to shorter pieces. Not by choice but by the way people around me are. I am no longer left alone with my books for hours on end.
oh. and my son bought me a new book for my upcoming birthday. So now I have to find time to enjoy it. It looks like it will be a wonderful read.

I actually got more than I was expecting this week. then again due to the weather I had to reschedule my appointments.
my sleep patterns were so bad I ended up being able to get back to normal with my poetry writing goals. I did some in the stories but of course I would always want to do more.

I didn’t get as much as I wanted written. Again I feel like I will end up saying that every time… because unless I exceed my daily goals every day in the week…
This week I ended up dealing with at least one day of migraine and a couple of high pain days where the brain fog was so bad I couldn’t think.
My weekend has a lot of publishing work on my desk. 3 separate manuscripts to get set up. so I am not expecting to get my writing goals for the weekend. I also have a Kickstarter for an author to figure out. (that was supposed to be done last week.)
As I have 3 separate appointments next week I will be squeezing the writing goals to fit my already tight schedule. that means I am not expecting myself to meet the goals this week. so any writing will exceed my plans. I am not wanting to do a review this week so I think I will do something else for tomorrow. A one off thing… maybe.

I didn’t get as much as I wanted written. I feel like I am going to end up saying that a lot of time. I struggled to get the poetry this week more than I did the story words. normally it is the other way around.
the appointment was actually helpful. I am going to be sent for one more scan and then I will be talking to what the doctor described as the best surgeon in the area for what is wrong with me. it was not a lot of forward progress but forward progress nonetheless.
I am starting to come to the other side of the winter sick. which means I’m starting to be a little more awake, with the insomnia starting to rear up again.

This Week I have been focusing on Stolen skins. It’s for the fall anthology from Fae Corps. The Anthology is pirate themed.
I didn’t get as much as I wanted written.
the truth is that this week was not a health issue. not in the traditional sense. my monitor was dying and I was having a panic because of it. y’all that monitor has been strong for us for a while now and it dying was like losing a member of the family. we bought it when we were in Oklahoma for a tv and console monitor. it was an upgrade for the 19 inch we got before it. then I started to use it when the boyfriend got him a 50 inch smart tv as his monitor. I have been using it at least since 2017. So it’s dying was not a good thing for me.
yesterday I was given an early birthday gift as my boyfriend could not stand watching me grieve for it anymore. he got me a 24 inch smart tv to replace it. yeah it’s smaller but it’s functional and I can watch tv on it too. so I am hoping to get some work done this week. (my birthday is in March)
