Take a Deep Breath…and let’s begin

This next week is going to be an interesting one. I’ll be starting my new job tomorrow, so that means I won’t be online until later in the day. In fact, there are a lot of things that will be changing for me. Nothing major, but it will require me to adjust my writing/posting schedule a bit.

I didn’t do anything on the writing front last week. I only plan on doing a bit of planning out for NaNoWriMo this week, and maybe a paragraph or two here and there if I find the time. It’s going to be hard for me to write in my temporary accommodations, as there isn’t a lot of personal space. Four people in an apartment with two bedrooms doesn’t give a lot of breathing room. But it’s all good.

I did my final line edits for Sweet and Spicy Spells, so I’m anxious for that to come out next week. This one seems to have snuck up on my from a marketing perspective, so the word isn’t out there as well as my other. Let people know!! HUGS!

So goals for this week:

  • plot out most of book for NaNo
  • finish reading Amy’s book :D
  • get newsletters ready
  • rest :D

I think once I have a week in for my new position, I’ll have a better idea as to how much time I’m going to have to write. I think it will just mean I’ll be up earlier and staying up later. I have a feeling I’m going to lose my lunch hour writing time.

What are you up to this week?

  • I, for one, will be here waiting for whatever you have time for. Glad you made it safely.

  • Best of luck with the new position! All the writing stuff will work itself out once life settles down. Hugs!

  • Glad you arrived safely. Once you get settled in I’m sure you’ll be able to work out a writing schedule.

    I’m trying to finish up the rough draft of my short contemporary before the end of the month. So even if I don’t do Nano, I can use it as an incentive to get lots of writing done.

  • The last one is very important. Rest… a lot! So today is your first day at your new job, eh? Hope things go smoothly. :)

    As for my week, I have to write my free story for Halloween by Friday. But things have been pretty hectic around here so I’ll need a lot of whip cracking to get me to have it on time.

  • Hey Christine,

    Rest is very important, I can’t imagine how beat I’d be. Goodluck on this, your first new work week sweetie.

    This week I hope to advance on ANY of the WIP’s I have on my desk and work on my edits (yep, still on my plate, LOL!) ;)

  • Oh my gosh, I posted the same type of thing on my blog today. lol Must be a Monday thing. Good luck at work and I hope you find some space of your own soon. :)

  • Man, there’s nothing like trying to juggle a day job and a serious writing goal at the same time. ;) Especially a new day job… oye!

    ;-) Just take a deep breath. Good luck on the new day job AND on NaNo/Sven.

  • I haven’t a clue how you’ve just survived a move and yet can still plan for NaNo. I have a hard enough time juggling my family with my writing on a regular day! You must be one organized gal!
