Honestly, I feel so ill that all I wanna do is curl up in
bed for a week. It’s my own fault…I ran
around like a crazy person last week, stressing over a work trip I was
planning, staying out far too late and drinking far too much at a wedding I
attended this weekend, and getting myself all worked up over things that make
me unhappy, but over which I have no control.
So now I’m sick. Everything
tastes funny (particularly the sparkling water I foolishly bought thinking it
might clear my throat), I ache all over, I’m exhausted, and one side of my face is so congested it feels
paralyzed.
Attractive.
However I’m able to function like a normal human being
(except for the stupid mistakes I keep making), so I figured I still ought to come
in to work. Blah.
I was sick yesterday, too, but managed to do a good bit of
editing. I’m 3/4ths of the way through
the novel now! I’m super excited about
finishing—still hope that I can get through the rest of it by Christmas.
Yesterday was a rough day, editing-wise. I was in the middle of editing a sex scene while
on my lunch break at work…already awkward.
And as we all know, nothing gets ya in the mood for lovin’ like a
snotty, achy, full-body cold. Right?
…no?
…well, that explains my difficulty, then. However I managed to shake it off long enough
to add an additional paragraph or two to the scene, edit the rest, cut a huge
awkward portion of writing out afterwards, and finish my editing for the
day. I’m satisfied (at least for now)
with the way it turned out, and just want to keep working…as soon as I feel
better. Got to keep going if I wanna
reach that Christmas deadline!
Oh! Almost forgot the
most important thing: I submitted to another agent! I really like the look and attitude of this
one…I think she could be a really great fit.
We’ll see if she thinks the same…probably not, I know, but one cannot
live without a little hope!
On a completely different note, I have a script I desperately
want to start working on…it’s called Plus
One, and it’d be different from Bryn & Mer in nearly every way. I’ve pushed it to the side, however, along
with everything else I want to work on…the editing must come first!
I suppose that’s all for now. ‘Till
next time.
