Fitting a new carpet tomorrow. When that’s done we, my family, can get the livingroom back the way it should be. At the moment my desk has one of the drawers blocked by a chair. It should be fun putting the carpet down because I’ll be lifting the old one at the same time. My son will help; well I need the help moving the furniture.
I got my proof copy in this week of Bublos. The wife is reading through it just now and she has only found one mistake, which is good. Hopefully that is all she will find, that way I can approve the book for distribution. Then it’s on with writing Banshee 2. I didn’t do any writing this week, too tired with more overtime at work. Though I have been thinking about it a lot more. I don’t know if any of the ideas will be of use but some of them are interesting. I’ve also been mulling over the plot and how the characters will be carried on the journey to the scenes in my head. It will be good to see how it develops. I hope that I might do some work on it this week end but I’ll have to wait and see.
Sometimes it seems like the days just flyby before I have time for anything. I suppose that’s just the way things are when you’re busy. The days taken up by work and the few hours left before you have to get some sleep is filled with the family or TV or countless other things. The effort to find some time for you quickly gets swallowed. More effort is something I think I have to make to find those few hours to write. At times though you just can’t get in the zone, so to speak. I think that has plagued me over the summer. There were many reasons though I can’t blame anyone but me for that. At the same time it helped me sort Bublos, making it better.
