2013-04-29 12.10.19 I’ve been hard at work on a couple of projects this week. It’s nice to feel that I’m being productive again, after an extended bout with the lazy bug.

Oh, who am I kidding? I needed an extended bout with the lazy bug. 🙂

Anyway, I finished rewriting chapter 16 of The Price of Mercy and got a decent start on chapter 17 this noon. I’ve been polishing my query up a little more, too. I’ve finished formatting the e-book version of my new poetry book and have moved on to working on the cover. And have I mentioned the story that Miss Tadpole commissioned? I’ve been working on that, too, and have set it in Lokana, about a thousand years before the events in The Price of Mercy. It rhymes and is rather like a fairy tale, which has been both interesting and challenging because it’s not the sort of thing I normally write.

There’s still lots to be done on all of these projects, but I’m having a lot of fun with them. What are you working on right now?

I’ve begun my end-of-the-world novel. I’ve even found a deeper plot than I thought. i can’t wait. the only downside is that it will take a lot of studying.

  Oh, but studying and research are half the fun of writing! 😀

I’ve been so lazy lately that I actually found myself with writer’s cramp after a little binge yesterday! Tis the season 🙂

  Indeed – my lucky kids get to stay home and be lazy today. I wouldn’t mind spending the day curled up under a pile of blankets with a good book, but I managed to escape my driveway this morning. On the bright side, at least I’ll get paid for braving the cold… 😀

I think I might have caught your lazy bug. I’m not working on much right now. I’m proud of you for getting so much done! That’s awesome.

  Thanks! I haven’t been this productive in a long time. It’s a nice feeling, even if I simultaneously feel a bit frazzled. But such is life, right? 😀
  
  I remain convinced that we all need a lazy bug every now and then. Perhaps this is simply your time. And right after the holidays is as good a time as any to have a lazy bug, I think. 😉
