lydamorehouse I have been meaning to write my "author's newsletter," which at this point I should probably just plan for Valentine's Day. Not that I have a lot to report. Still, it's supposed to be a monthly thing, and I don't know that I remembered to report anything in January.
I woke up this morning, like I often do, intending to Get A Lot Done.
I have a new critique client from the Loft who has sent me a novella that really shouldn't be taking me this long to read, but I am trying to give detailed commentary. I should be well-motivated to read it, since I will get paid for it as soon as I write up my full critique. Even so, it's just been very slow going. I want to blame the weather, but it's actually been warm for February in Minnesota (It's currently 22 F / -5.5 C) Maybe it's the quality of light that has me dragging? It has been quite overcast for the last couple of days.
Maybe if I go to the post office? I probably need to get out of the house for a bit. I will do that as soon as I finish this.
Anyway, thanks to the couple of folks who offered their opinions/suggestions on what I should read next. I actually managed to finish the non-fiction book I've been reading last night (I forgot that non-fiction has citations, and so I was surprised to find myself at the end with so many pages left.) So, I will be starting up on these library books sooner than I thought.
Yesterday was National Pizza day, so Shawn convinced me to make pan pizza for dinner last night.
