In The Writers Cave

I am now on the first full day of cat sitting. My retreat (from nowhere and no distraction – but ignore that) from everyday to what I think of as ‘intense writing time’. It seems to work too, as I did 3 thousand words this morning. Although that increase in word count might have something to with the fact that I was here at the computer an hour earlier than I normally would be – pah!

So, I plan to use this time as best I can. I want to wrap up ‘Corrupted Souls’ (and at 3k a morning, it won’t take too many more days) and then I want to start the fifth novel – which is howling like a rapid werewolf in my brain. (no – that isn’t a hint what the next plot is about). I am done the heavy edits for the release of my debut novel ‘Tomorrow Wendell’ which frees me up to start on some heavy edits for the second book, ‘Bindings & Spines’.

I have other things I’m scheduled  during the next two weeks; getting my new tattoo, finally meeting my beta-reader for the first time and hanging out for a couple of days , and a vape meet (which I always enjoy).

I already miss my wife – nothing I can do about that. I will throw myself into the words, to keep the worst of that from my mind.

And just to make sure I don’t sit for too long a stretch at any one time – the cats are sure to get me up every fifteen minutes or so to let them in – out – or prove I will even if they don’t.
