My last post was about my week-long hiatus from writing. Well, it turned in to almost three weeks. That first week was a self-imposed break. Then, my mother-in-law came to town and I didn't want to be rude and spend all my free hours at the computer. And I got a cold. A really nasty cold. I came home from work early on Friday and spent most of the next four days on the couch or in bed with sinus pressure, congestion and coughing then body aches and exhaustion.
So, now that my guest is gone (though she's welcome anytime) and my cold is mostly gone (that guest is NOT welcome to come back) I'm back to writing again. Time to dive into my book where I left off and give it one more thorough read-through ... with the goal of cutting even more.
The prize at the end of this long slog of reading and editing, reading and editing, is that when I'm done I can pick up where I left off with one of my many other books in progress. I'm itching to get started, but I still can't decide which story to return to first. I might have to read what I've got so far with each of them and see which one inspires me the most.
I can't wait! It feels like Christmas is just around the corner and it's taking every ounce of strength that I have to keep myself from peeling back the tape on each gift to get a peek at what's inside.
