So, I applied for a Calgary 2012 grant for the novel I intend to write next year, and in the process, decided to check over my website for updates. I do the blog every week or so, but decided to check all the pages…and you know, there were reviews of some of my newer work that I hadn’t posted! That, and, of course, updating my bio to include latest sales. So, not writing, but writing-related!
Short story started
Have about 1000 words so far (the first scene). A bit frustrated at all the other things on my plate that keep delaying getting more done–but am persevering!
My desk is cleared–
And I start my new story today. Have the outline already!
Galleys for “Turning It Off”
Got home from holidays and had the galleys for “Turning It Off” in my email from Analog. Proofed them and sent them back yesterday. Yes!!
Life gets in the way–not always a bad thing
Sigh. Not much progress in my writing this week. However, I did get to hike up to the Valley of the Four Winds with my two daughters and do some sketching. Also, spent Canada Day doing face-painting for a steam excursion group–took my three daughters and my grandson, which was a hoot. Also spent about 6 hours today trying to repair a riding mower–well, my husband is the small-engines guy, I mostly just handed him tools. Darn thing still doesn’t work (I mean the mower), but had a lovely day learning about small engines and enjoying the sunshine. No writing, though. Tomorrow!
