Writing, to do list, and training


Well, I guess we’re in a bit of a blog drought here. Usually inevitable with huge inputs of information coupled with creative outputs.

I’ve been thinking heavily about the Fiction Fridays. I’ve been advised they’re a good idea, but since going to Dave’s novel workshop I am in the process of giving my world such an overhaul that I’m not sure I want to anchor myself down right now with existing text. So I’m going to spend more energy working on the outline. Also, 500 words here are 500 not in my novel. So, honestly, there is a good chance that while I’m actively working on the novel, I won’t be doing Fiction Fridays. But I do like the concept so I’ll be returning to them later.

To do:

  1. outline novel and series 
  2. final draft of short story
  3. first draft of novel
  4. first draft eye surgery book
  5. submittable draft of novel
  6. find agent 
  7. proposal for eye surgery book
  8. submittable draft of eye surgery book

Sprinkled in that are two tutorial lines for Geekatplay. May write a whole book. Will probably have a magazine article or two going on.

And saturating my life is my family.

And that triathlon training.

I have a confession to make: with all the job stuff, house cleaning stuff, and workshop stuff I let the daily training go. I’m back to doing it but am in recovery mode. I’m only walking, but next week I’ll add some running into it and hope to run (not walk) the full 5K of my town’s country fest in late June. Won’t be fast, but I’ll do it. We got a membership at our city fitness center, and I like that place much more than Gold’s Gym for two reasons: It has an indoor track, life guarded pool, and most importantly, it’s not a meat market.
