Obviously, I gave up long ago on my original plan to write something on this blog every day. Lately, I haven't even written once a week, but I plan to change that soon. Now that my sinus infection is gone, my scratched cornea is healed, my in-laws are back in Iowa, and my son has started kindergarten, I'm back to a normal routine.
And I've got a major deadline breathing down my neck. The San Diego State Writer's Conference is coming up at the end of January and I want to submit both of my manuscripts for feedback from an agent or editor. The conference is only four and a half months away, so that means I have only two or three months to get my books presentable and ready for a "professional" read-through. Yikes!
So instead of trying to find something new and interesting to read in my free time, I'm going to spend more time editing my novels after I get my son to bed each night and whip those manuscripts into shape. I need some motivation, since I've been slacking off lately, and I'm running out of excuses. Hopefully the writing conference deadline will serve as the motivation I need.
