2 week sickness but getting better :)

It’s been a tough few weeks, falling back in with a bad cold/infection again after my book launch and party. So for the whole last 14 days I’ve pretty much just barely managed to get out of bed, go to work and come home. I’ve let everything slide and I finally made the decision last weekend to stop taking on anymore ‘projects’ because I can’t do them. It was like a wave of everything and suddenly because I got ill I felt like I was drowning in them and would never get back on top.

So, I’ve pulled the plug on a few, and that will give me some time to ‘get better’ I’ve been so exhausted… and to catch up on those things I still need to finish.

Last week in itself was a bunch of meetings and paperwork on top of being sick… but now that things on that side are looking much better, I’m also feeling much better on a personal level.

There is a light at the end of the year, and we’re almost in November too! which means NanoWrimo 🙂 I wasn’t going to do anything and I still might not, but this one character hasn’t shut up all year. So who knows. I might crank her story out or I might leave it.

My muse rules though and if she kicks my butt, I’ll be writing. (she’s trying to,) but I’m still not 100% better, so I’m just playing it by ear for the weekend… honest.

Tonight I’ve caught up on some of the pile, I might be there by the weekend. 🙂

Anyone else doing nano? If you need a friend, I’m always around either way…

Good luck to those who are in.

Weekend plans. :)

Up early as usual. I’m excited to be looking over and selecting a short list for our conlang job. If there is anyone watching my blog and wants to still get in there, better email soon! There really are some amazing and gifted people out there.

It is still dark out at the moment, cold, and I’m sat in the dark because of Bobby still being asleep, in my pj’s and on my heat pad. If I put the heating on, I get told off for cooking my husband in bed. So funny.

I’ve seriously got to stop procrastinating as well. I’ve still 10 chapters to edit on TSK book 2, which is in for beta read soon! cracks knuckles and prepares to

go back to bed. lol…. just kidding.

Here’s to a productive day for us all. 🙂

The muse at 4am – stop it muse….

So yeah she speaks in weird ways. And I woke from a dream which had to be written down. NOT EDITED! as it was sleepily written….

This is pretty rough and maybe will get to see the light of day, but I’ll post it here to share, as it really won’t. It’s like not the sort of thing I’d really write about. Not sci Fi enough for me, unless I set it in a post apocalypse world.

Endeavour

Feath Charleston, an outsider in her town, a young performing artist of the highest calibre. Set to upstage some of the best in world wide competitions.

Then her mother contracted a rare illness and Feath was isolated and taunted, bullied at school. No one wanted to be near her. Feath couldn’t understand this and it hurt.

Ani, her Mother packed their things and decided it was time to move them on. As sick as she was, Ani, shouldn’t be driving and a terrible accident left Feath in a coma for 3 years and Ani at deaths door.

When Feath finally came around, her mother had passed away. Leaving her with nothing. Feath wished she’d died in that accident, her life and choices she’d made over.
Getting back to the one thing she loved Feath did everything she could to re-build her life.
One day an argument left her puzzled over an internet site, password protected and logged on several untraceable websites.

A boy, Jez, watching Feath from a distance as she practiced above the water the one thing she loves, twisting.

Jez a technical genius. Feath plucks up the courage to approach him and asks him to help her crack the code and visit the site that her mother had created.

A world of secrets.

Three years of letters to her daughter.

Will Feaths’ life ever be the same.

So yeah… there you go. 🙂
