... I get home late from work on a Friday night. My brain is mush from writing a breaking news story and rushing to finish another assignment. Of course, I didn't actually finish that second story, but at least I won't have much work to do when I go back to the office on Monday.
And here I am, after all that writing, updating my blog. And what do I plan to do when I'm done here? Work on my book.
I suppose I should have some stored up writing energy, because until today I had a relatively light work week. And after work most days this week, I read Sara Gruen's "Ape House" instead rather than edit my book. "Ape House" is due back at the library tomorrow, so I had a reading deadline to meet.
I'm on the hunt for something new to read -- the library had "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins and "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot (which I need to read for my book club) the other day -- but I need to focus for a while on my book. I'm never going to get it in the shape it needs to be in to send it to agents if I don't finish editing the darn thing.
This weekend, I vow to work on my book and not start reading a new book.* Maybe I'll send my husband to the library to return "Ape House" for me ...
* Disclaimer: I do have a book or two that I've started reading and haven't finished yet.
