Wait a minute! I already told you all my news when we talked on the phone! Dagnabbit!
Ok so I have nothing new to talk about really. Except that I find out on Feb. 22 whether I'm going to have a personal writing mentor for the next 3 months. I'm extremely excited about the possibility. I know at least a dozen people who said this mentor program practically changed their lives. It will cost me $30, but is 3 MONTHS of intensive help by a published author. Cross your creative fingers for me that I get in, competition is tough!
We've filed our taxes! So we should definitely get it back before the deadline to pay.
Which ALSO means we finally get a better car!
And Gary will get his boat, and I'm going to get new lenses (they are not scratched but for some reason the coating is coming off in places, really messing up my vision).
And we're gong to try to get a real couch, because we have been sitting on a love seat for 2 years now, and its so completely busted and broken now that we kind of roll together in the middle of it and end up squished, and the wood pieces stick out the back etc. So I'm fairly excited about that as well. And maybe a new cheap TV stand, which in itself is not that exciting, but that means I can use the old one (It's tall, and from like 1960) as a STANDING desk! Which is apparently so much more healthy for you than sitting, and I do sit a lot between my fiction writing and my job writing and if Im honest, my constant internet surfing. :p So might as well be healthy while Im being lazy right? I would much prefer a real desk of course, buuuuut if this gives me a space to write AND is healthier, then I should take it.
Ummm let's see what else. I have to re-write a pamphlet for Lucille this week as like a test job. Which is probably okay because I'm stuck on my book anyways.
Oh! Book 2! Yes, I've started it, and yes, I'm already stuck. :p I've got about 10k words in it but I didn't really outline well enough and develop my characters well enough at the beginning, to keep going. So Ive got to take a week or so and figure out all these things that are giving me fits. I know you cant really help me brainstorm while you can't use the computer, but that might be another post. I'm hoping in a week or two when you're feeling much better, maybe we can brainstorm on the phone, because I do so value your opinion!
Well that's all my news for now. If I think of anything else I'll make another post!
Huggles and Love! And I hope you feel MUCH better very soon.

I'm so glad you got you'r mentor. Be sure to record your interactions so you have time to absorb them over and over lol
ReplyDeleteI like that phrase healthy while lazy lol We need way more ways to do that hehe
I'm sorry your having brain storming problems. I read your email and I honestly liked the first one the most but also thought that it was maybe a bit depressing or would need more explanation that he healed her lungs. So ultimately it seems like I would want to combine parts of both. Not very helpful I'm sorry. But lets talk sometime again soon for brainstorming now that we've caught up ok?
