A Day of Rest...
And sorely needed it was, too. I slept late, I lazed about outside, I did only the bare minimum of chores and my walking, and, of course, my writing. If I'm not mistaken, today is Day 13; almost two weeks without missing! Let's hope my memory holds.
I've read over several submissions today, as well; of course we get inundated with new subs while I'm busy working. It figures. :-P (Or maybe we didn't get unindated--maybe it only feels that way because they piled up on me while I was gone :shocked look: You think?)
I've also started working on this week's crit. So, I suppose I have done quite a bit today--it just doesn't feel like it because there's been no rush, no pressure. If only I could work that way every day! Unfortunately, what with being in town all day Sunday for Boo's two services, and going back to work again next week (although there are no 3:30 mornings next week, thank goodness!), my days of happy-go-lucky productivity are numbered. Ugh. I've got to start making enough of a living at this writing stuff that I don't have to do this babysitting thing again next year!
And, for the first time, I'm starting to think that making a living at it may be sort of within my reach. I've always known that it could be done, and that I could do it; I make up for what I lack in talent by sheer stubbornness and determination (not to mention a healthy dose of desperation.) But now, it's within reach. I can sense it; if I stick my tongue out and pant like a dog, I can taste it. :-D I'll be a writer! I'll be a real, paid, full-time writer! I shall! :laughs happily:
