Well, dear readers, I must write these here notes in a hurry as I have a very early doctor appointment and must leave by 7:45 in the morning. So, here’s yesterday in a nutshell. What yesterday is doing in a nutshell is anyone’s guess, but onward we go, Christian Soldiers. I only got four hours of sleep due to ABS (Active Brain Syndrome) in overdrive. I was up at seven-thirty and could not get back to sleep. At around eight, I futzed and finessed and wrote a couple of new pages. I also followed a book auction – some nice titles in not optimal condition. All of the mystery books sold to one online person (we can see the online bidder number) and I’m guessing I know exactly which dealer it was, so I’ll watch that dealer’s ABE store and catalogues, just to see if I’m correct. Then I wrote another couple of pages. I then had a much-needed haircut and now look like a well-coiffed beached whale – a slight improvement. I came home and had bagels and cream cheese for food, took a break, then wrote more new pages and got past page 190, so I think I’ll write today and tonight and then send Muse Margaret a new batch of 100 pages tomorrow morning. Then I dozed off for a while, two hours, had a cheese sandwich for a snack, watched some irritating YouTube videos, got an idea I’m pondering about something for the book, and here we are. I know, I know, short and sweet, but this is how it is when I’m writing and when I have these early morning things that I wish I did not have to do.
Today, I have to be up by seven and out the door by 7:45 for a 9:00 doctor appointment that I have to arrive for by 8:45. I hope it’s brief so I can come right home to futz and finesse and write at least ten pages. I’ll eat something at some point, and I’ve already decided I won’t attend this evening’s performance. I’m told we have very light reservations, but I’m sure we’ll have more as people have been reserving at the last minute or just showing up. I’m hoping that the pension check shows up in the bank account today – this is supposed to be the first month of direct deposit and one of the selling points of that was that the money arrives early. Fingers crossed. I don’t think I’ll have time to actually watch anything, but we shall see – I will need a few breaks in between writing jags.
Tomorrow will be more of the same, I’ll send Muse Margaret her second batch of pages, and then I believe I’ll only have another forty to fifty to write. I think I’ll attend the evening show, as I know a few folks who are coming. We have a healthy crowd on Sunday, and I’ll be there for that as the Pearls are coming and we’ll dine afterwards somewhere fun and fancy free. Then home to write more. I’m hoping I can finish this new book by Tuesday or Wednesday.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, be up by seven and out the door by 7:45, have a doctor appointment, come right home, futz and finesse, write new pages, eat, write, take breaks, hope the pension check hits the account, and then write more. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s Friday – what is currently in your CD player and your DVD/Blu and Ray/streaming player? I’ll start – nothing. Your turn. Let’s have loads of lovely postings, shall we, whilst I hit the road to dreamland, having written notes in a nutshell.
