Just Me

We had a problem with the book we were trying to publish, and the author decided to abandon the project. There ARE other books scheduled for this division, but they are not ready to be released yet.   I DID start writing a novel in November but, unfortunately, I have not had the time since to FINISH writing it.

  It’s kinda weird writing this blog post. I just wrote another blog post where I summed up all the bad stuff that happened in October, as well as this year, so I was feeling pretty disheartened after I finished writing it.   Should I look forward to the new month that is upon us? There are some good things planned for the new month, so I would like to think I can at least feel a little bit of hope that next month will be better than this month.   I guess we will see!   I usually don’t want to jinx anything by mentioning plans, because then those plans won’t come about! I also believe that instead of talking about what you are going to do, you should talk about what you have done.   But I need to get ALL of this stuff out of my head and down on the, er, screen so that I can keep track of it all.   So, here is what is on the horizon for November:   The month of November will see the launch of a new publishing division at Twiste...

For every day that I’m able to do things, I try to do as much as possible. And as someone who has A LOT going on right now, that can fill up my days!   Which means my days can get pretty busy, and while I’m happy to fill up my days with all of that stuff I am doing and to fill in each day on my planner with all the stuff I MANAGED to do, sometimes I just need to STOP and listen to my body.   Like I had to do last night.   It wasn’t the headaches that made me stop. It wasn’t the sleepiness that made me stop.   I had just run out of steam. It was after midnight and I could barely keep my eyes open (even though, currently, I am only able to see out of just one eye!). I had just completed another round of research for one of the articles I am writing this month, and I was ready to conk out.   Except that I didn’t want to. Why? I had one line left to fill in for the day in my planner, and I wanted to fill it in!       I know I...
