So I Have A Plan . . .

I’m trying desperately to get organized here. There’s a storm coming in so I won’t be going anywhere until next week anyway, I’m stocked up on bottled water and dog food, and I need to clear out my blog, my work docket, and my cottage. So I’m starting with the blog because I don’t have to get out of bed to do that. I love this plan! I’m excited to be a part of it! Let’s do it!

Here’s the plan:

Saturdays are always Cherry Saturdays.

Sundays are Happiness posts over on ReFab.

Mondays are Writing Craft posts over on Writing/Romance; I’ll start posting links here.

Tuesdays from now on will be Draft Vault Days and once the old drafts are gone, I’ll use this day to post any of those “Hey, I had this thought” posts whenever I have one. There may be some long silences on Tuesdays. So basically, Tuesdays are Deep Thoughts Days.

Wednesdays will be Writing Craft Day, clearing out more of the Questionables draft folder and adding in whatever new questions you all come up with, plus whatever Writing Craft posts occur to me. Again, long silences may occur.

Thursdays will be Writing Life days, starting with The Great Office Clean-Up in which once a week I report on progress made in finally getting my office in shape. I am required to post on these Office days even if it’s just a shameful “I did nothing this week” followed by a picture of the dogs.

Fridays will be Book Done Yet? Days in which once a week I report on what I did that week to finish the ONE book I am working on. I am required to post on these days. If I haven’t done anything, I have to post an excerpt from the book for you to poke fun at.

Basically, I’m using Argh to clean out the draft folder, organize my office, and keep me working on whatever book I decide to work on. I’ll let you know what book next Friday, but I’m thinking You Again. It’s all this mystery research I’ve been doing. I’ve already put twins in. Still to go: The Chinaman and the secret passage. Speaking of which, has anybody seen The Abominable Bride? There’s a line in there that made me spit my Diet Coke. A woman is running around shooting people even though she’s lying dead in the morgue, and Watson says, “Maybe she’s twins.” And Sherlock looks at him in complete contempt and says,

I thought of you all.

NOTE: I dropped my laptop and now there are multicolor vertical and horizontal lines on the screen. That can’t be good. If I suddenly disappear for awhile, it’ll be computer problems. ARGH.
