Gearing up

It’s Friday night, a very long work week is over, we’ve just watched the finale of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, I have two warring felines on my lap (Taz wants to wash Bug Bear, the Bug wants to wrestle with Taz, I am collateral damage) and I’m thinking about tomorrow.  I have to finish the first 50 pages of a novel for Ravenous Romance by September 15th and this weekend is all about the writing.  I write in the evenings after work, but it takes me a good hour to get going once I start and I tend to poop out around 9:30.  Knowing the alarm clock will go off at 6:15am is a great pooper outer incentive.

So…I’m looking at the weekend ad planning.  Early morning (well…8am) walk on the beach.  Hang up the laundry (I hate hanging up laundry…it’s my least favorite household task, even after scooping out the litter boxes, so I save it all up for Saturday mornings), make brunch…and write.  Take break for yoga or fencing around 3:00 and then keep writing.  No bad Sci Fi channel original movies either.  This makes me very sad.  What will I do without my fix of giant Anacondas/giant spiders/giant Komodo dragons/giant sharks?

I’ll probably get a lot more writing done, that’s what I’ll do.

Happy Saturday, fellow August Blog Challenge participants!

  1. I take exercise breaks from my writing too, but nothing as exciting as fencing! And walks on the beach. Lovely! You sound like you have a good life. I’m with you on the laundry though (and vacuuming). I make my husband do both. Good luck with your 50 pages.

    Write First, Clean Later

  2. L.J! Fencing is fun and a great stress release (although I don’t recommend it if you’re mad at your partner…unless you’ve a vengeful nature) and I guess nothing beats walking on the beach for me..

    As for cleaning…your motto ‘write first, clean later’ is my new mantra!

  3. The scary thing is with this deadline, I’m gonna have to ignore my normal POI’s and just suck it up as far as staying up later!

  4. Ooh, would love the walks along the beach. That sounds wonderful.

    Housecleaning is easier since the kids moved out, but still a pain in the patootie.

  5. Housecleaning with multiple felines is a challenge – they will keep shedding…

    Whenever I feel grouchy or like I’m missing out on something, I think about those beach walks and am grateful for what I’ve got. It keeps me zen! And satisfies my magpie tendencies to collect things.
