Cooper and Coco are munching on their Whimzee sticks…the Ho is in her office working on some crafts talking to Ali…I have my fan running in my office out there because it gets musty in there sometimes and I like it aired out and smelling fresh…I took a shower…read for an hour today.
Life is good.
I feel antsy. Not overly so…just not fully grounded. And I know why; it’s because I’m nervous about this rewrite starting tomorrow. It’s a baby one, it has to be, and be design I only gave myself a week to do it.
I’m also antsy about writing this next book. It’s foggy and hazy to me right now, and that’s just fun for no one. I mean, I have complete confidence that I’ll work through that…and I guess sitting down right now I’m actually realizing that’s true…it just hasn’t happened yet. There’s also enormous pressure now to be able to do this quickly, because, you know, I’m doing it FULL TIME…
But again, now that I’m sitting here in bed thinking about it, I really do have complete confidence that I will figure it out. I may start of slower than I want…in fact that’s virtually guaranteed…but I will speed up with time. It will take time and practice, but I will. I know that now. Writing this blog every night has really made me realize that, made me aware of my patterns, the ways I live my life.
The Warriors won today in a squeaker. The Spurs has us down by 25 points early in the game, but they couldn’t hold it together. Granted, they lost their MVP in the 3rd quarter and that, surprise surprise, immediately kicked off a dominant streak by the Dubs. We got lucky…but better to be lucky than unlucky in the playoffs. Even the greatest teams have needed luck here and there in order to win. It’s build into the system.
I’m also enjoying the book that I’m currently reading in that it’s the actual genre that Starstuff is written in, and I mean the PRECISE genre. Tone, type of universe, type of plot, characters, etc…it’s super super similar. And that’s exciting. It makes me nervous, because the cover for this book is so different from the one I’ve ordered…but I’m not going to sweat that right now. I hope there’s crossover from the other section of SciFi peeps that read books about space marines, you know? We’ll see…but my readers for Starstuff are SOLIDLY smack dab in the middle of this book I’m reading right now, and I can use that, you know?
Anyway…I’m bound to make mistakes, you guys. Bound to. If the cover artist I chose is a mistake…I’ll learn it and be better for it. At least I know he kicks ass at what he does, so it won’t be the actual artwork that’s the problem.
I’m going to bed now 😛 The A’s lost…swept in Arlington, and losing all three games in the last 3 innings. Blech. Our bullpen is horrendous. Le sigh. Hopefully we’ll be good one of these coming years. And hopefully in a nice new stadium.
Night!
