It’s amazing how little you get done when sickness strikes. I was sicker this week than
I have been since I was a little kid and spent entire days sprawled out on the
couch watching cartoons and sipping Gatorade.(By the way, "Gesundheit" means "health" in German. That's why you say it when to people when they sneeze).
I’ve decided that I need to be a little flexible on my blog
schedule for my busy life. I’ll still shoot for Monday and Thursday, but it
might be occassionaly bumped to a surrounding day.
I’m feeling very good about my writing with lots of a good news
coming in. We’re almost done with the
shortest month of the year and I’m only about 2,000 words shy of hitting 50,000
again. I figure if I can hit the mark in February, every other month should be
a breeze. Thank goodness for that Leap Day though this year where I get an
extra day to get ahead on writing versus a normal year.

Writing Tip of the Week:
When working towards writing goals, always write a little extra on
those days when things are flowing well. It’s like saving up a few extra
dollars “for a rainy day.” Even though I was sick and got very little writing
done for a few days this week, I still did not fall behind on my overall goal
because I had been following this practice. There’s nothing more discouraging
than seeing yourself fall farther and farther behind. Never let yourself get
into that position.
Writing Update:
Excellent progress on my novels with more than 30,000 words on
Wandaful already. I worked on developing the series’ system of magic this week
and I think it works really well. It has to do with different colors of magic
that stand for different things, and I think you’ll all like it when I debut
it. Other projects are plugging along,
and I found out that two of my modern parables are going to be included in the
a published anthology coming out this fall.
