Monday, Monday, how could you leave and not take me?
At the risk of being one of those blogs that merely (and only) recites the daily happening of the author, I have to admit that I'm running out of ideas. It's just so much easier to write the first thing that comes out of my head--which is normally a list of things I have to do, or a list of things I have just done, or a list of things that I should do but won't get to because I'm lazy. You get the idea.
In fact, it's so easy that I'll make a little list right now.
Things to Do This Week
1. Finish researching THPON today.
2. Book club on Tuesday (finish reading book before then).
3. Softball on Tuesday and Wednesday.
4. Make an appointment with the SBA to discuss business plan.
5. Finish business plan.
6. Stop being lazy.
Whew. That was quick. But not very satisfying.
The real news is that my mom and I are embarking on a little mother/daughter project. We're writing a novel--well a chick lit novel to be truthful. The premise is that a grown daughter comes to visit her mother (and father) for the weekend, and dramedy results. The twist is that I'm going to write the mother part and my mom will write from the perspective of the adult daughter. We have lots of fodder for inspiration, and the prologue reads like any afternoon in our kitchen. While I'm not sure how the main characters will turn out, we agree that there is much comedic potential in the father figure. Personally, I am gunning for a running gag through the entire story where the dad can't find the remote control. Not that the "lost remote control" is a running bit in our real lives. No, certainly not.
And now, in an effort to fulfill #1, #4, and #6 on the list above, I need to make some phone calls. Then I'm whisking myself away to Starbucks. I think I will be much more productive if I'm in a place without internet access, but with copious amounts of caffeine.
Comments
I hope you didn't tell your mom that you already have a publisher lined up and willing. That was a really mean trick.
