I'm back to making progress on my book,(working title)Poseidon's Tear. It's a relief because I hit a wall about a week ago, combined with general life stuff that knocked me back a bit.
Turns out it wasn't such a bad thing. I haven't made great strides in my word count, BUT that is mostly because I deleted a couple rather large sections. They just weren't working and didn't add anything of value to the story. Scene has no value? = Chuck it!. It seems to flow better now, I think. The potential corner I was writing myself into, so far I've managed to side-step.
I already know I'm going to miss my goal for July 1 but with any luck I will get it all done shortly after.
I hope!

From under a mountain
I've been a bad, bad, bad, writer. I haven't done any in days. So much for my grand plan for this month, my perfectly scheduled goals. All shot to shite by real life.
Life has kinda dumbed on me the past couple days, My shifts have been up and down from day to night. Which is the most difficult, because I find that I write better in the evenings. Probably, because I have trained my brain to work best once the kids have settled down to bed. 'Yea' on my brain being trained but 'Boo' for having to work during my prime time. Toss in a kidlet with an ear infection and the looming possibility of a strike at my work...
My creativity has gone into hiding, and I really need it back. STAT!
ETA: Ever have a coincidence that was a little too coincidental? After I finished moaning here I did some blog surfing. Over at Alive and Knitting Claire posted about feeling overwhelmed and to remember to look at things from a different perspective. Beauty Timing. I needed to hear that.
If there is a silver lining. Kidlet is feeling much better today, and if we do go on strike...I'll have a lot more time to write. I wonder if I can knit on a picket line?

I'll let you in on a secret...
I'm a hugh MMA (mixed martial arts) fan. I've been watching TUF for a few seasons and really enjoyed this one. There is something about seeing a bunch of ALPHA males getting all sweaty and rolling around on the ground that, I admit I enjoy... A LOT.
Oh Clay. You might have lost your fight tonight but your still one of my favourite fighters. I already have you picked as my inspiration for one of my Hero's. My husband was the first to say that he is certain this man is a born Gladiator, a thousand years too late. I couldn't agree more, he is never knocked out and can take a punch like I've never seen. He is perfect Hero material to me.;o)
