Ah, back to work. That's what I need to do!

I got some good writing done at about 5am today, right before I went off to get some sleep. Which I didn't do well, but still... I've been up for a few hours, gone to the store with Russ between the classes he's teaching today, and then read some Forward Motion stuff. Now I need to get working. This is, after all, the last day of the month. January certainly went quickly!

I have reached that sort of 'middle' stage, where I have finished one piece and can't quite fall back into another. I never much like this, but it never lasts more than a few hours anyway, so I guess I can live with it. (grin) I did start rewriting a children's story. This rewriting every day has been very helpful. I'm getting a lot of material ready to go out. Or I have already sent it out, which is even better.

I am working at getting my office cleaned up a little. Well, at least my des, which has been showing signs of becoming an undiscovered country under the pile of junk. I have things to get done here, but I'm not getting to them any time too soon, especially when I can't even locate the original manuscript under all the other junk. So, off to work I go... and for once not on writing.

Blood of the Clan went off in email not long ago. I'm done with it again for a while. I hope for a long while. (grin)

Niche is the chosen new title. I have some great new bits to add into it, too. I'm looking forward to getting back to work on the story, even if it is growing a bit too large. Well, that happens with me, doesn't it?

But now it's late, and I really am tired. I've been having horrendous back problems again, and I hope that I can just take enough stuff to put me to sleep for a few hours. Looking forward to that, too, if it happens. It might, since I'm so tired I can hardly type tonight.

I'll be back some time after noon. I have a few things that I need to get done around the house (yes, real life stuff does happen), but as soon as I get all caught up, I'll be back to writing. And maybe even back to posting.

And I am back at midnight, and with the final tie up idea for the story. Chasing Martian Mice will likely be retitled Adapation or Niche. I tend toward Niche. (grin)

Oops. Forgot to publish this one. No matter. I've written a little over 2000 words and I'm going to take a break for a bath. I might be back later. But I am really happy with the story at this point!

9018. And about to take a break. But not bad at all. Nice when I can actually get to work on things.
