Stay-at-Home Writer
Sep. 10th, 2008 01:59 pmI've got an hour left before I have to go pick up the little guy from school. So far my first day on my own has been pretty productive. I wrote a little over a thousand words on the Mouse prequel, did the dishes, worked out at the gym, took a bath, and mopped the kitchen floor. I also started formatting the next Tate book, BETTER DEAD THAN WED.
I think this whole writer thing is going to work out. What I find fasciating about myself is my tendency toward rituals and routines. You wouldn't guess me as the type to really like the idea of doing the same sorts of things at the same time every day, now would you? Of course, technically I've only done this whole routine once, but I dunno... I have a feeling.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who jumped in with resources for my Polish/Czech/Bohemian Goddess question. What I'm looking for isn't anything specific, alas. That's my heritage -- yes, my people are ACTUAL Bohemians -- so I'm curious about the indigenous goddesses of those places. Oh, anything I find will very likely find its way into one of my books (probably a Tate one,) but you know, this is just the sort of thing I do every once and a while. I mean, I got curious about the origin of the fall of Satan story once... and well, hundreds of resources later I ended up with Archangel Protocol. So who knows.
So I guess Dreamhaven is all moved. Anybody been there yet?
Oh yeah, and I should probably meantion that I'm going to be at Amazon Bookstore Co-op on Saturday at 3:30 pm if anyone wants to drop by and buy books.
