Back to the Rat Race…
by dsmouse ~ January 27th, 2008. Filed under: Just...Webby, Just...Writing.I’m at the airport…..it’s one of those weeks….busy - but those who know me best know that I prefer to be busy.
Last weekend, I worked and read. This weekend, I worked on stuff that no one will see the results of for a month or so. It’s one of those things - what many folks don’t understand is that there is so much prep worked involved in launching a project. There is work to be done on:
- Mid Issue Update of All Things Girl (Love & Lust)
- Next Issue of All Things Girl (Earth & Sky)
- Launch of the First Edition (Spring 2008) of Pink Nighties.
All of it is very exciting….and I am so thankful for the people in my world that contribute to my total enjoyment of these projects.
My writing has taken a bit of a backseat this week. It tends to get lost in the shuffle of work and logic. I’ve had story ideas rolling through my head…and jotted a few things down yesterday so as not to lose them….but it seems it would be easier to process if I had some sort of direct connection between my brain and my laptop. I would like to have something of my own in Pink Nighties…..but at times, I am so in awe of other writers that my stuff simply doesn’t measure up.
I’ve done some travel planning in the last week or so. I will be spending some time working…as well as at least one trip for fun. The Pilot Guys best friend has a birthday coming up, and I’ve been invited to be a surprise dinner guest - so that is something very lovely to look forward to. I am going to likely add a day to the front of that trip so I can do some sightseeing…maybe do a travel piece…take some photos….
Stop and breathe.
The next day, I should be able to stop and breathe, though. It’s a work trip, but fortunately, it’s work I enjoy so I can have fun with it. If you get down to it….as I discussed with one of my co-workers - I love my job - even though I get tired at times. He told me that he can tell….that it’s obvious I love what I do…and most of the folks around me appreciate my efforts. That is worth a lot!
Anyhoo….time to wrap things up. Have a FABULOUS day….
