In which I forgot the title and had to add it back in after posting….

It’s been a rough few weeks. Seems like I’m always starting the blog posts that way. Well, this is probably the last time for a while. The rough waters seem to be passing for now.

This week I got back into the swing of writing. We all have those moments in our lives where we just have to stop and breathe. This has been my week to stop and breathe. I rededicated my time to  writing that was previously allocated to school. I took my old writing time, and decided to read… for fun.

Seriously. I looked at my Goodreads shelves the other day. I have read a dismal 6 books this year. Three years ago, I read over 300. It’s weird to see that number dwindle over the last few years. And I think that my writing has suffered for it. I probably will still try to keep those books to something that isn’t similar to the book I’m writing, but I really feel like I need to read more and get my writing fuel tank topped back up. And I was looking for my writing fuel post I did years ago just now, so I could link to that, and I think that was on my old blog. I need to dig that up again. I have all the posts somewhere, even though the blog is no more.

Anyway… So today’s the ROW80 update and I have no idea where I was when last we updated. And I’m too lazy to go look up the last post. So, new goals.

I’m really close to being done with Heart and Snow, which will give me about 6 weeks to get it edited, critiqued, edited some more, beta read, and then edited again. I’m cutting the wire close. Sigh. But I finally have a groove on this story. I figured out why I had an issue with it, and how to fix it, and I no longer want to punch the book in the junk.

I also have been working on my new design site, since I completely rebranded my design company, and I already have a few clients I need to take care of in that arena too. So that’s most of today and tomorrow that I’m doing that, and getting that out of the way.

The plan for the week:

Finish Heart and Snow (or get pretty darn close to it)
Finish two book covers for clients and three pre-mades for the new design site.

And that’s me. Nice and easy. How’s everyone else’s ROW80 going?
