Annivesary
Yesterday was our anniversary, and I took the day off, even from blogging. Last year, Jon and went to New York and saw Spamalot on Broadway. We had a romantic walk through night time New York. The only downside being the fabulous, but cruel shoes I was wearing. When Jon realized the pain I had endured for our stroll, he made it up to me. Well worth it. We thought about doing something big this year. Everything from a return to New York and Broadway, to a long weekend vacation somewhere we enjoyed. But, when the time got closer… Read More

Real
Eleven pages today. I've listened to Christmas music, and musicals all day. Same as yesterday. My anxiety is off the charts. It was a very emotional scene. I tried to take myself back from my book. I tried to not care as much about my characters and my plot. I tried to be more like some of the writers I know. They don't seem to suffer with their characters the way I do. I tried to find some emotional distance. I've been struggling for days with that artificial distance. Because for me, it is artificial. For me, I love… Read More

Anxious, but better
Made the page count again, yesterday. But today my head has gone ugly again. It's not the book's fault really, but outside influences are just playing hell with me. I can't even share what's got me in a tizzy. It's too personal and the topic isn't my personal to share but someone I know. No telling other people's secrets, or intimate details on the world wide web. That is just not cool. So, I sit here befuddled, anxious. The air is thick with the rain that keeps trying to come, then stopping. It feels like the world is stopped,… Read More

A title, at last
Made my page count today, yea! Finished early so was able to work on other things that needed doing. Still have one interview pending. Now, if we can just find time to schedule in exercise and a life, I'll be all set.
I'm running out of time to do the research for the Jason book, oh, we have a title now. I keep forgetting. Blood Noir is officially the title for Anita Blake # 16.

Guilt
I feel guilty for missing yesterday, because if I've made a commitment to do something I always feel guilty about not doing it. My goal is a blog a day. The guilt thing is my grandmother's doing. She was the Queen of guilt. My friends that are Jewish after listening to tales of my childhood agree that the southern hill folk of America just might be the lost tribe of Israel. How else to explain the level of guilt? Guilt is a fairly negative emotion. But I have to say as a motivator, if you were raised with it,… Read More

In search of a home run
You always know when the book is going badly. One, I listen to nonstandard music. Today, I tried THE SECRET GARDEN. But no music helped me be able to settle down to work. I knew it was bad when I made three separate trips over to the main part of the house for various things. The last trip I changed shirts. Why? Because I find sometimes if my anxiety is too high, or my muse too hard to find, that doing something ordinary can help break up the nonproductive thought processes. Brush your teeth, change clothes, something simple and… Read More
