Best Laid Plans were once again thwarted, and I’m pretty sure it was because they weren’t Best Laid after all. I seem to have forgotten to take into account vacation days off, busy Day Job days, and other events. But that’s okay! I’m back, we have nothing of import on the schedule for the next few weeks — in fact, I have today off and other than going around the corner to go see Napping Princess at the 4-Star, I have the entire day to get caught up on things. Sounds good to me!
[Update: My movie plan was not so much thwarted but delayed today. As you may have heard, there are currently some nasty wildfires burning north of us, and late last night much smoke drifted our way. This caused me to barely get any sleep, so I wasn’t really up to seeing a film today. Perhaps next weekend if it’s still there!]
One good thing that’s come out of this sort of thing is that I no longer feel like a failure. Sure, the frustration of going past deadline and not hitting my goals as quickly as I’d like is still there, but Everything Is Not Ruined Forever. Just gotta get up, brush myself off, and start again.
I’m nearing the end of the first draft of Meet the Lidwells and I hope to get it done by the end of this month, at which time I’ll start revisions. I’m not sure how long that’ll be, but hopefully I can give it a quick turnaround (there won’t be nearly as much triage as I had with the trilogy) and get it out by the end of the year. Here’s to hoping!
Onward and upward. Only way to go!
