Writing: Finally Chapter Ten of Book Two. Then going to take some time to write out some character traits so I don't forget them. I have my storybook outline out so I don't stray too far. This is just the first draft. After I write it, I have to go over and revise.
Music: Bear McCreary. I feel so cool just typing that, but it's true. I've been listening to musical scores mainly from BSG. Great music. Have to, because music with words distracts me. I start singing and stop writing.
Shopping: I finally had to click away from the amazing all-the-things websites because I want all the things.
Drinking: Diet coke. I know I mostly quit, but I'm sooo tired for some reason and need the caffeine kick.
Life decision: If I ever make it as a published author who can afford to write at home all day, I'll have to buy better quality lounge-wear for when I have to venture out. Got a few strange looks with my indoor/outdoor clogs, my son's jacket and old knit pants. Knit. I don't even know why I own knit pants.
Next: I'm dying to start my next book, which is very different from these two, and the first one I ever wrote. I can't wait. I found out Santa is getting me a new journal, and it's going to be the idea/dream book for this next project. I don't mind they are all different. I'm growing as a writer and exploring different genres and themes.
Procrastinating: Chapter Ten of Book Two. But I'm on it!
Surprise: The score from Cowboys and Aliens is on. I loved Cowboys and Aliens.
I am reading this great book about goals and happiness, and it comes down to it's really about the journey, that success is great, but the real joy is in the pursuit, the doing, of something. The achievement is wonderful, but for sustainable happiness, you have to be constantly doing the thing that you love. So I'm just having fun with writing, and only writing in the genres and themes that make me happy, because the last thing I want to do is end up being trapped writing in a genre that I don't want to write in. For when I"m successful and all.
Back to Chapter Ten!
