We have two sets of playdates today

We’ll be saying good-bye to one as the next are arriving. Madison and I are both sniffly but fine and I guess people are willing to take their chances with us!
I have a new book idea I’m working on and surprise surprise — it has nothing to do with fertility, infertility or adoption. I’m afraid I’m going to get mired in research since that’s such an easy way to procrastinate while still looking effective. I’m limiting myself to just enough to put together a table of contents and at least two sample chapters.
I originally thought the idea would be pretty simple but it’s not going to be. I’m trying to think of the sample chapters as features so I don’t give up before I get started.
Last night I was killing time while I was waiting for some work responses (you know, sitting on the computer hitting refresh and waiting until your next set of instructions arrive) and added a bunch more writer quotes to the random quote generator. The most common writer quotes are varaiations on these two themes:
–Write to discover what you know or don’t know;
–Write anyway.
I am also still thinking about reviving the insecure-writers community in a Brand New Improved format but think I’m going to need some tech help. Anyone handy with drupal? I’m thinking of getting a quote from Lynn of The New Homemaker fame. She’s rocking busy though.

MWAHAHAH!! Love the observation on how getting mired in Research is a way to procrastinate while appearing to work. Oh that is so spot on!!
