In reality, my full time paid gig is not as a writer (ah, to dream!). And although my heart aches daily at leaving my newly started MG hanging, I have a family and life and all the stuff that goes with it, as do most of us. I switched schools mid-year and there has been an adjustment period, my family has needed me more (which is fine), and now I am buying a home and moving as well as wrapping up the school year. If you are teacher, you know what that last thingy means.
Yes, they are all excuses. But still, please pardon the interruption in blog posts.
Because now all I can think about is moving into my cute new house! A little less than 3 weeks to go. I have discovered the addiction of pinning ALL THE THINGS to a new Pinterest board.
And the crazy-making of tying up all the loose ends of utilities, movers, loan & legal stuff.
And after that? Look out. Because I'm pounding in the hours all summer working on that MG!
I will ignore the laundry and the dust bunnies, eat frozen pizzas and peanut m & ms all summer if I have to (oh darn) and even not let myself be sidetracked by my usual activism. I'm going to get that first draft D.O.N.E. And maybe even a revision round. And people, the premise is GOOD. Really, really GOOD. I'll leave you hanging.
hope move goes well and you can get back to pounding the keyboard!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carol!
DeleteIf you get enough dust bunnies, you can make a winter coat or blanket and save on buying clothes. Good luck with the move and the book. I'm rooting for you. Sarah Maury Swan, author of "Terror's Identity."
