I give up for now

I can't seem to get a handle on Blood of an Enemy.  It doesn't want to go where I want it to so, I'm scrapping it for now.  It's aggravating to me not to be able to express in writing what I am seeing in my head.

So, what now?  I have the germ of an idea for a story called Soul Reaver and another I haven't titled yet.  There's also Demon in Disguise that needs to be put on the computer still.  I finally found the other half of the story so I need to get it done.  I have to work the next three days, but I think I can put in some time on it Saturday and Sunday and during my days off.  I'll let you know how it goes.

It's Friday

I'm getting ready to go to work in a bit. I am enjoying work still despite having an ongoing issue with a fellow employee I am going to take care of today.

Hubby is supposed to be getting transferred to a Southern Illinois prison later this month.  This means he'll have a better chance at earning time off for good behavior than in the prison he's currently in.

I am working on three crafting projects right now. I began a blog for just that. :-)  I am working on sewing a corset for a friend.  I am crocheting a blanket for my best friend in Red Heart Burgundy yarn.  I am crocheting an afghan for the wife of a man who was kind and generous to hubby in Red Heart purple yarn.

Blood of an Enemy Update - 2/25

I am now up to 62 handwritten pages on this story.
I am writing roughly 10 pages a day in between orientation and training for work, as well all the things I have to do at home.  So far, the flow of the story is still going strong.  I can't not work on it or I get antsy feeling I've left something important undone.  This is a good thing.  I actually was in the middle of a good scene when I had to leave for work on Friday but happily, I was able to return to where I left off when I got home, finishing the scene in the same energy as I'd begun it.
Once this week of training is done, I'll only be working weekends so I'll be able to more fully focus on my writing.  I am already thinking of cover art ideas.

18 February 2012

I didn't meet my writing quota yesterday so I am working twice as hard today - just not right now.
I added some more songs to my playlist yesterday, and I'm going to add more in the coming week as I listen to more music a friend is recommending to me.

I took my drug test day before yesterday at Lowe's, and I am having to wait 3-5 days to get the results back.  I am looking forward to working again, and I don't care what position I end up getting or how many hours I get.  I just care about working again so I can reach my goal with my writing eventually.
