ROW80: Doctors and the Holidays
It is check in time again, and boy am I glad that I gave myself an overall target rather than something more day or week specific.
This being said, I know I am behind and am considering having to change my plans.
As with everything, there are positives and negatives, and this week was no exception.
The positive was that I managed to write something every day on my novel, well revise something every day, which is the first time in a while that that has happened. I also completed the most recent SEO based writing assignment in record time which not only left me more time to work on the novel but earned me a nice little bit for my cover art fund. Also, Friday was a Bank Holiday in the UK which meant all of my "real job" clients were off work so it gave me 8 hours to catch up on the backlog that had been growing quicker than a list of story ideas.
The negative aside from the fact that I did not get Good Friday off on holiday was that I had to take my eldest son to the 'weekend doctor' as he was up all night complaining about his ear. Not crying but complaining. It was nothing. Then today my youngest son (and middle child) was sick, he had a high fever and just laid in his bed not moving. So we called the "weekend doctor' again for an appointment. Thankfully though he had a good sleep and woke up feeling his old self, or certainly close to it. I hate seeing my children sick, and while I know it is a fact of life that we get sick from time to time, it is not something I will ever get used to.
Tonight is more of the same with the novel. I have edited just over 1000 words so far and would love to his 1500 by bed time. But I guess that will have to be revealed in my mid-week post…. hey I guess that will give you a reason to come back and read that one too. A good old-fashioned cliffhanger. Just imagine this last paragraph is a runaway locomotive, and the word count my damsel in distress. I guess that then makes me the twirly mustachioed villain. Oh well, I could live with that.
Until next time……
