So How Did I Do?

This is what always happens. I have all these wonderful writing goals and then life gets in the way! So for Saturday, my daughter was going to an outdoor concert in San Francisco and my husband was planning on putting in some overtime at the office. I could plop myself in front of the computer with a bottomless cup o’ joe and clamor away, right? As usual, by Friday night everything changed.

Oh, I also brought work home from the office, which took three hours to do. While working, I also made pumpkin ginger cookies that I promised myself I’d give as a present to an author I admire. She was doing a reading in my area the following evening. I ended up being awake till almost 1 am and there I was, up at 6:30am on Monday, ready to start the week!

When I have weekends like this I realize, it’s not my imagination, I really don’t have a lot of time to write! I can’t give up though. There’s always another day, another weekend. Hey, my office is closed this Friday. I have the whole day off! Yes, that’s it. I’ll write all day. I’ll get up early and…
