Non-Committal Commitments
We���ve had company for the past few days, a lovely lady from Texas that we have known for years. It was nice to play catch-up, but I���ve been sparsely reading blogs and not commenting too much.
Two quick notes: Naked Alliances has been with the proofreader this week and so far only one or two sentences needed corrections. I left off the word a before bag, put it in a bag, not put it in bag. The other was a sentence that answered a question the speaker had just referred to someone else to answer. ��Haven���t a clue why I did that.
About my meds: I ordered them from Expressscripts. Don���t let the name fool you. Even though I paid to have them expedited, they don���t expedite processing, just mailing���so they were late getting to me. I thought with two weeks they would have plenty of time to get to me, but I was wrong.
I was without my meds for six or seven days. I decided when they got here, having missed several days, I would start with halves instead of wholes. I see the doc today to let him know where I am on this. I had decided not to make any changes, but I can���t help myself. I want to know.
The Naked Eye series outlines haven���t been touched.
Surviving Sister is waiting in the wings. I went back over the seven chapters I wrote and I���m feeling too much backstory, so I may start over���or I may start something new entirely.
That���s the joy of hobby writing, I have no deadlines and no established line of books where readers are waiting for the next thing. I write leisurely until I put the pressure on myself.
There are two or three stories rolling around in this crazy head, but nothing has gelled quite right, so I am toying with ideas. When I set my mind to it, and the conditions are right, it will be written.
Red Clay and Roses was written quite by accident. My writing is young and I don���t see myself committing to genre specifics at this point. Maybe I���ll find my niche, maybe I already have and just don���t know it yet. All I really know is that I enjoy writing and will keep on keeping on.
Have you found your niche?
Ever think about exploring something new?
