I worked morning/afternoon instead of afternoon/evening on Tuesday so I could have the Fat Tuesday pancake dinner at home, and it ended up going so well that I’m considering altering my work schedule to do more during the days. I work morning/evening under certain circumstances that require me to come home for a few hours in the middle, but that had always been less successful that I hadn’t considered morning/afternoon without breaks would be fine. We’ll see how it shakes out, but that would mean I’d need to shift my writing work to after grocery work, which is when I’m more tired. I’ll figure things out.

News:

Nothing this week.

Works in Progress:

Had some bad news with grocery work (not related to the schedule changes), and that took the wind out of my sales for a few days, including Wednesday, my other day off. I’ll try to make up for it today. Still editing Never & Forever (Meridian Book 8), and I’ve cut about 17K words from the manuscript so far. Pretty solid. I want to get a good chunk done today, because I’m worried I won’t finish the second round by end of the month if I don’t.

Poem of the Week:

It’s not the nightmares so much as the disorientation
between asleep and awake when you aren’t quite sure
which one is more real until it’s the dream that fades.
For a moment, your bed, your room, yourself, is less solid
than the slippery, sticky world you must leave behind.
