Monday, Monday...so good to me...

Oh, the Mamas & Papas...remember them?  Smooth hippy music of the best variety. :)  I've always loved their song Monday, Monday ...though it's not exactly a happy ending song, is it?





Still, I love Mondays.  Always have.   When I was a child, I looked forward to going to school.  I also loved the weekends and yes, I still do that too, though perhaps even more so because I work as many Saturdays as I take off.  I do love my writing.

But the simple truth is: I don't hate Mondays like so many.  I love "getting back to the grind" even when the grind wasn't writing.  I'm a creature of routine.  You have to get to know me well to realize this as I love my havey-cavey ideas so much, I seem like a very spontaneous person.  I'm not really, and knowing what comes next is always comforting for me.  The older I get, the more this is true.

Mondays are my day to get back into the groove of writing and working the business of my craft.  For me, they are hopeful days - filled with opportunities and options that are narrowed down considerably by Friday. :)  Mondays are almost always busy, often spiced up with the unexpected and the beginning of achieving my goals for the week.  It's a heady combination for a woman like me. :)

My goal for this week is to finish "Back in the Sheikh's Bed" by Friday so I can spend the weekend preparing for our trip to Europe.  I'm not entirely sure I can get the book done, but I'm hopeful and the characters are being cooperative at present, which is always nice.  I've been working with Asad and Iris even longer than Kaden and Rachel in Heat Seeker because I put aside BITSB to work on HS during my black fog months.  Now, I'm out of the fog and working desperately hard to finish both books.

And every Monday is a chance to draw closer to that goal! :)

It's your turn:  do you love Mondays or hate them?  What are your goals for the week?

Hugs and happy reading,
Lucy :)
