All signs point to - Yes?
May. 25th, 2023 05:16 amThe title is about my tarot reading this morning.
But, here we go.
I've submitted my writing several places, and am just waiting to hear back from them. I'm hoping something comes up within the next day or so, though I'm not holding my breath. Even a rejection would take me off the pins and needles.
But, c'est la vie. I need to work on the publishers' time and not my own. Right now, I'm sitting at work, waiting on a call to come in. Because this is what I do: wait on calls. However, I will be taking time today to do edits, and work on writing because no way is anyone going to publish something unpolished. So, this morning will be Steampunk, this afternoon will be the beta exchange, and then after that, perhaps I'll write for a while? I'm unsure, since, I'm getting to a point of not wanting to write.
Does anyone else get into that ebb and flow? Sometimes I just don't want to write. I'll edit, but the thought of putting down new words on a piece just sends me into a tailspin of "Do. Not. Want." Which, I think is fine? Some days you just want to rip apart a piece, and others you just want the flow of putting down new words.
I'm at the point of being paralyzed about new words. New words are just not coming. Which, again, can be a thing that bothers some people, but to me is something that needs to be taken into account when working on something. Though, if you think about it, these are new words, but they're not being pressed and molded into a fictional story.... Right, not going to think about that too hard.
I want to work on Slayers this week. Slayers has a huge plot hole that I need to fill, and I'm pretty sure I can fold it into the main plot, but it needs addressed, and ugh. Why did I do this to myself?
I'm also looking at finishing up the edits for at least most of Steampunk by next week. I'd like to get that done, and settled so that I can work on doing the edits, and rewriting starting in two weeks.
Now, the problem with that is that there needs to be some research done, especially into Polish history. Because I have them in Poland for a while, and that needs researched. Luckily, I already did my Russian and Chinese research, though I do need to do a bit of language research when it comes to China.
So, beyond getting new glasses for my Son, and possibly new sunglasses for me this week, that's where we're at. A lot of writing to get to, and a lot of writing to not get to, depending on how I feel about everything. Plus, just tired. So tired.
