Today, the birthday celebration is over. MiniMe sleeps downstairs, charging up her little battery in preparation of her first trial - my sleep study tonight. She's so amazingly tiny! (For those who don't follow me on Twitter, yesterday I bought an HP Mini netbook for my birthday. She is 3 lbs with her battery in. She is also covered in pink plaid. I have, of course, called her MiniMe, because MiniPinkPirate just didn't have the right ring to it.) I leave for that at 4 pm, because I think I have to be there by 6:30. I need to check that.
Metrics from March - it was a good month. Very good. I wrote 20,736 words, which brings my year-to-date total written to 36,262 words written so far this year. Wow. A lot of that was finishing Last Rites, so it's time to dive into a new project with just the same intensity. Luckily, there's a certain CrossCat who is determined to be a star detective waiting impatiently in the wings.
I also did a LOT of morning pages in March, which I think helped me. It's a habit I really want to get into for every day of the week. This month, we tackle Artists Dates as well. I need to remember that I need to get away for ME. I'm going to start looking at places here in NH, VT, ME and MA that I can do in a day and that I want to see. Stuff like local museums. Hikes in the White Mountains. Exploring things that I've always wanted to. Sitting on Hampton Beach or Odiorne Point for a day. Things to enrich my inner artist.
Goals for this month:
1. Finish the outline for Tales.
2. Finish the edits for Spells and Swashbucklers.
3. Write the plot summary for Advent Murders.
4. Write the new plot summary for Last Rites.
5. Write the next episode of Tales.
That's the MUST BE DONE list. With MiniMe, I'm going to be able to get some writing in at work, before and/or after, because it doesn't take 20 minutes to just boot up. (I wish I was kidding, but that's about what my laptop is up to now) If I can, I'd like to have the entire Tales arc written by the end of April. I also have a baby blanket to finish and a baby sweater to make, and training for the Race for the Cure 5k I signed up for. The race is June 4th, and I'll have a link to my fundraising page up soon.
Lots of stuff coming with the new year (I consider my birthday an personal New Year's Day for me) - and I'll have some more pagan posts coming soon. Got some very cool books for my birthday, courtesy of my BFF Laura, who knows me better in less than a year than some people have who have known me for decades. It's a little scary, very cool and I don't know what I'd do without her. Thank you again, Laura - they are the best books I've gotten in a long time!!!!
Now, I'm getting ready to go and swim. I need to get dressed, and get my swimming stuff together. Then, when I get back, I'll pack up for my sleep study. Writing will be done tonight.
Have a good day, folks!
