Change of Pace

Tomorrow I go into the city. I’ll spend two weeks in the servitude of my sisters two cats, as opposed to the the four here at home. Just about everything I do changes during these days; often meaning a lot more writing.

I don’t really know why this is true. In theory, the days are really no different than the ones spent here. No more or less demands on my time occur while I’m away and yet…

Perhaps it is a self fulfilling exercise��in human nature. I expect to get more work done while I’m there, because in the past I have, and thus I mentally prepare myself to get more work done while I’m there and so do. Thus setting the stage for the next time around.

Whatever the case, I hope to get a large amount of writing completed in the the fifth novel, ‘Backstabbers & Believers’ during this time. I won’t go so far as to expect to get it wrapped up but if I can get to where I’m just wrapping up a few scenes across the length of the work – that would be fantastic.

The closer I am to��having completed the fifth novel before I really get into the edits for the second, ‘Bindings & Spines’��the better my time can be managed. If the fifth is done (or close to) while I work on final edits for the second, then I can work on wrapping up a couple of the short stories that have been started but not completed to keep my mind fresh during the heavy editing phase.
