Day…What day is this?

It's the 6th, right? Or is it the 7th? Eh. Whichever. Which may tell you a little about how NaNo is going right now.

I stayed up too late for too many nights and it caught up with me. Friday was a total loss. I got 90 words. 90. And they weren't even part of the ms. It was notes on an idea for some conflict that I'll layer in later in the story.

Yesterday? Please. I Did Nothing. I did read Nalini Singh's Mine to Possess, which must be the only one of her Psy-Changeling series I hadn't read. I love the series, but I've read most of them at the library. Now, usually I'll read one or two of a series at the library and if I love it that much, I'll start buying them. But for some reason, I just kept checking her books out instead of plunking down the cash. No more. I'm actually going to start buying them because I haven't read one that isn't keeper-worthy. So I'm late to the game, but I made it.

Well, I did go to a wine tasting. Does that count? We picked up a really nice Riesling that had a good balance of green-apple acidity to balance the sweetness. The 2008 Ayler Kupp Riesling-Spätlese for $15. Last year we poured a really good Gewürztraminer for Thanksgiving and it went over well even with our non-wine-drinking family. This year I don't think we're collecting people for the feast, so we'll crack open my new Riesling!

I guess that makes it a pretty good day. Wine, a good book, and a hot bath before bed. We even watched a family movie. Igor, which isn't great, but it's cute enough.

So 2 days of not writing puts me desperately behind. Stoopid story. Stoopid writing.

And did I mention that I have a new story releasing in, like 3 weeks? And have I done any promo? No. No, I haven't. Because I'm an idiot.

So this week is all about writing AND lining up some promotional stuff. The second part makes me want to find a deep hole. You'd think after four releases, I'd be better at this. *sigh*
