The guys are going shopping shortly so I'll be deep into the editing/reread of one of the books while they're gone. I'll be offline for the night when they get back though. Homework, supper and getting thigns ready for morning.

Is it bedtime yet? I'm up till midnight, CSI is on at 11 and it's a new one............


Nope. Not bedtime yet. I have between 11 and 12 hours to go before I can call it a night.

Have tea. Have snack. Have aspirin....

I have about 9 to go here, but I'll be up about five hours after I crash tonight. School in the morning.

The guys are almost ready to go so I'm going to get some soda, pop a few more aspirin and have a quick snack before I dive into the fun of proofing/editing, etc. I'm considering a cup of half caff too, because of teh caffeine in it. It would help me stay awake.....

Gee whiz... Like I said on my personal FB profile, there are still some days that I can't believe I actually FINISHED a book and have to give myself a few kicks to remember that Book 1 is MY work... Shocked  Smiley

It's also hard to believe it's almost a full year since I finished its draft one. The last year went by so fast, between working on its proofing, editing, etc, and getting absorbed by Book 2......  Smiley

Yeah, the spring/summer has flown by at warpspeed. I'm hoping that the last three months of the year will SLOW THE "HECK" DOWN so we can enjoy them. Not having some sort of doctor or dentist appointment scheduled every week to ten days "should" help with that.

The guys are home and perfect timing, I was just starting to edit Chapter 12 of Book 1 when they drove in.

I'm going to get supper going and hand the computer over to the guys now. See y'all later, have a great night. Cheesy

I just stopped in at my facebook newsfeed to check on things. When I went to close the tab, the damned software asked me if I was "sure" I wanted to leave.  Smiley Yeah, I was and I am. And going back becomes less attractive by the day!

I am reminded. Two years ago on October 9th, we brought home two baby girlcats much to the chagrin of The Queen, the Prince and the SunLord.

Happy Found Day, girls!

Okay, I'm heading out. It turned out to be a good writing day. I added about three pages total in various spots and the best thing is that I'm beginning to get an idea of how this section I'm working on should go. I might just maybe be getting back into my writing groove. Got a long way to go but I've made a start and that's the main thing.
That said, this tired little writerperson is heading for bed.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

I have a grocery list to compile for tomorrow. It's payday and Thanksgiving weekend, so that means Hubby will be extra late getting home tomorrow night, he'll be picking up a lot of the groceries for Monday. I'll be cooking up a storm again this year, and thankfully, Hubby DOES help me with keeping things organized and even some parts of the cooking process! LOL I'm going to need all of the help I can get. Tongue

I have coffee, music is playing on Media player, and Word is open to Book 1. I'm still finding mistakes in grammar, missing words and a tonne of missing commas. Thank the stars I'm not on a firm deadline to get it out to publishers, because it's far from "ready" even almost a year after I finished draft one of it!

I'm here and in FB but quiet. Editing!

The reread of Book 1, Part One is done for this round of editing. I'm going to compose myself and get on to Part Two in a minute or so. The last few chapters were rough to read again, even though I've written them and reread them several times, it's a pretty emotional part of the story.

I'm thinking that drinking another gallon of coffee is in order too. I'm worn out and didn't get a lot of sleep last night. If I didn't have so much to do today, I'd take a nap. I am leaving early and am considering going to bed at 9 or before tonight, so I'm at least alert when it's time to start writing tomorrow morning.

Has the coffee IV been invented yet? Good grief.  Smiley

Morning.
I'm here but sleepy. Fortunately, there is NOTHING on the schedule for today so it's house shoes and sweats today while I do stuff. I need tea!

I'm still here too, and will probably be heading out around four or so my time, depending on how I feel and how things go here. I just ate some lunch and am now nursing a can of the Throwback Pepsi, I'm hoping the caffeine in that will help me make it until bedtime. Eye drops ARE helping with any eyestrain, as is keeping the monitor's brightness down again.

I'm finishing up the scene that I was working on last night but was too tired to finish.

Being tired and wanting to finish a scene drives me nuts! I'm so scared I'll forget what I wanted to put into it, yet at the same time, I'm worried I'll REALLY mess it up if I continue. It's a fine line to walk, I know that much!

Our outside Samhain/Halloween decorations are up now. Son is very excited, he loves trick or treating, probably because of the candy. Me, I just like the spookiness of the day, and feeling my ancestors so close nearby when the veil between this world and the next is so thin.

The camera needs new batteries  so I don't have any pics yet, but I will get one or two later, and I'll share them in FB, I promise!!!

I got down what I was thinking about last night once I figured out what term I wanted to use -- too tired to think of it last night -- and now I'm trying to get two sections linked up and maybe a third. I've realized that the situation has to move VERY fast after this particular point -- it's a real "OH Smiley! moment -- because if it doesn't, it becomes unrealistic that Our Heroine doesn't realize that something's wrong or that Our Hero doesn't "change the game." So the "bad guys" are going to have to move at warp speed once they start moving.

I am being driven stark raving crazy right now, and can NOT get another darn thing done editing wise, so I'm going to sign out for the day before I start showing the old fire sign temper around here. The guys are going to be hearing about this, BIG TIME....  Smiley

See y'all in the morning... I'll only be around for a bit, tomorrow is a writing day... THANK THE GODS FOR ALONE TIME, else I'd probably kill someone........ Smiley

Have a great night everyone.

Skywise is home. Dinner is eaten. And I'm beginning to get a handle on what I need to do next in Book 4. But it's late and this little writerperson is tired so I'm heading out to sleep on my idea.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Morning. It's a writing day for me, a longer one, and I'm hoping to get Chapter 36 wrapped up, if not more than that today. First, I need another cup of coffee. I woke up at 4:30 when Hubby's alarm went off and decided that going back to sleep for another 45 minutes wasn't worth it, and the thought of having an extra half hour to myself between the time Hubby leaves and I get Son up for school was very appealing... Cheesy

I'll be here for another 2 hours or so, then off to write. Cheesy Catch up time.....
