Writing Progress and Distractions
After writing nothing over the weekend, I've managed to write a few pages the past couple of days. Not a lot, but moving forward is better than no pages at all. What happened with the weekend? It just got funky busy. I had my nails done and got a pedicure. But then I got into the cleaning mode and also bought a new shelf (which I had to put together) and before I knew it, it was Sunday evening. Did have a plotting chat with a friend of mine who's stuck in her manuscript after contest feedback. We had a nice chat that was dominated by discussing our craft. I would love to get a weekly writing chat going where anyone who needs to run writing stuff by can do so.
Another thing that distracted me was a book I was reading. I got swept away by SWEPT AWAY by Toni Blake. Omigod! I loved it and could not put it down. I guess I like stories where they not only once knew each other, but they end up stranded together. If you don't have this one, then please go out and pick it up.

I'm one of those people who gets easily distracted. If I don't start writing first thing in the morning, the entire day may be a loss because I'll find one thing after the other to do instead (including e-mailing and blogging, heehee). The hardest part for me can be sitting down at the computer and opening the first page of the WIP. Once I get going, I'm okay.
SWEPT AWAY looks really good. I'm picking it up next time I shop.
P.S. Don't stop writing!
