Wine on the Keyboard

Well, the ME ME ME is going a bit better. I’m almost finished with the lace “shawlette” that I started from my online lace knitting class.

And my dh and I discovered 24. We’re busy watching the first season on DVD. What’s not to like? No commercials. Watch as many in a row as we want. We have like 4 more left on the first season. I’m not even sure we’ll watch in on real TV when we get caught up. Just might wait for the DVDs to come out. Lovely way to watch TV…

The writing is….tortuous…which is a really appropriate word. Twisting. Circuitous. I swear once I have a proposal nailed down I can write the rest of the book fairly quickly. But the plotting and the emotional arc and making sure the conflicts are strong enough to sustain the whole book. ARGH. I do think it takes me longer to write the proposal and synoposis than write the rest of the book. Though I usually try for about 75-100 pages when I’m writing the proposal. Then cut it back to 3 chapters. But then I have about 100 pages written at that stage.

Well, how is ME ME ME March working for you?

Me Me Me March. How’s that working for you guys? I have to say, it’s not working very well for me. I use it as an excuse not to do the things that HAVE to get done. But I’m doing an awful lot of nothing. So, of course, now I feel more behind than usual.

Oh, I’ve signed up for a lace knitting online course, and I’ve been enjoying that. I have spent more time with my dh, and that is good. But the taxes aren’t done. The bills need to be paid before I end up with finance and late payment charges. I’m finding it hard to find the right mix here.

And all my writing has been brainstorming in my head this week. Trying to figure out the conflict for my proposal. The one I had was weak. So I don’t even have forward page progress.

So far Me Me Me March has been a bust. I”m hoping to be much better this week.
