lydamorehouseLast night I called my folks, who are wintering in Texas, and one of the first things my dad asked was: "Did you get that German article done?"
No.
But, I still have a couple of days! And, I have to tell you, avoiding writing non-fiction has totally inspired my fiction writing. I've been in a weird kind of daze... the other day I wrote about 4,000 words (some of them transcribed from an earlier draft of RESURRECTION CODE, mind you,) which is still absolutely insane for me.
This has been the kind of writing mode where dishes done get done, the child goes without a bath, and the house generally crumbles around me. But, hey, I'm actually enjoying the process. I was in the car this morning and I found myself doing that annoying-writer thing where I was excitingly extolling various plot points with Shawn... as her eyes are glazing over because there's no context for any of it, but she's smiling at my enthusiasm. :-)
So, not much else to report. I do have to thank all of you for your ideas for the article.... I dutifully wrote them all down and probably at midnight on the 14th I'll break down and write something. Actually, I'm really hoping to get a draft started today, but we'll see. Mouse may take over my brain again.
