Tomorrow’s my writing group
In honor of this, I’ll make this post a writing post. I’m sitting on the couch, it’s Sunday night, Madison is sleeping and Brett is reading to Noah (they’re reading From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler). I can’t decide if I got enough done today. Every night I go to sleep worried that I haven’t gotten enough done and every morning I wake up and worry that I’ve forgotten something important. This is just how I am. I’d be this way even if I wasn’t busy.
On Saturday I did research, cleared out my inbox and laid out all the phone calls I need to make this week during business hours. Today I wrote a book review and worked out some issues with my clips site and my not-ready-for-primetime other site. I did NOT write the two queries I had on my list. I did NOT get any further on my sample chapter. I have to get cranking on that. I feel so so so frustrated and I hope this means that I’m at the end of my research rope and will feel confident about writing anyway.
On my writing group nights I usually try to leave right after dinner so I can get an hour of work in before the group starts. Usually I answer outstanding email but since I did most of that today maybe I’ll leave the laptop at home and take the alphasmart and do some chapter work.
