All I've Got Today

Today has been a long hard day of editing.

I’m exhausted. Physically and mentally.

Why is writing so hard? I often ask myself that.

George Orwell–he wrote 1984 among other works–said: “Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.”

Yep. George was right. That’s true for me today. At least I finished the edit.You see, formatting has changed so much since I published my first book online, I set a goal this year of checking each book to see if it was up to date with the changes.

Of course, I can’t seem to do that without making small edits along the way. At this rate, it’ll take me to the end of the year to finish this project–maybe longer since I’m also writing new books along the way.

Tomorrow, I start my first Christmas project. Yes, first. I have plans to finish a novella and 3 holiday short stories. Oh, and I also have 2 novels to finish before the end of the year.

Nothing like big ambitious plans, is there? *g* Wish me luck.

Takeaway Truth

I think I need some brain candy, otherwise known as television. Maybe a glass of wine too. Talk to y’all tomorrow.
