I didn’t do anything Sunday and I feel bad about it. I’m sure I’ve spoken about it earlier, but I had no energy to do anything. I didn’t even watch YouTube. I don’t know if I was shagged out after a big gaming day yesterday (two hour road trip! Whoo!) or I was just *bleh*. I hated it because I wanted to write, but when I looked at my expectant laptop, I just felt turned off by the idea.

No, I don’t vacation very well, either.

I ended up moping around the house, just trying to get something done, but I ended up on the couch reading and listening to music. Not the high paced world of authoring fiction to be sure. Monday, I felt a little better and managed to get some writing done in the afternoon and evening after going to the gym.

Sundays are just bleh for me, I guess.

I’m going to chalk up Sunday to a day of fitful rest and move on. Tuesday wasn’t any better, but today I have a good feeling about it because I am going to be in a writer’s group meeting and we’re going to do nothing but write. I should hit my daily word count today with little problem. I’m also going to be around friends who are going to keep me honest about such things as well. It’ll be fun.

When I do write, it’s coming along pretty good. I’m about to get to the point where Chip is starting to piece things together with Lin and Joe. I can’t tart to write those scenes, because it means I’m finally getting to the heart of the story – which makes me wonder if I should cut some of these scenes to make the story tighter. As far as word count goes, I’m halfway through the book. Story-wise, I am maybe…a third? Yeah, I should consider cutting some scenes. I’ll bring that up with the writing group when this story hits their eager paws in a few months. First, I have to finish bringing around Serve Me Now. My wife finished it, and she has brought up some salient points – yes, I did rush the ending and left some dangling threads. No, the story kept her entertained even though she admitted she wasn’t the target audience. Maybe, the ending could be tweaked a little with the wrapping up of those loose threads. I trust her judgment and will fix those and others for the second draft.

I’m still outlining Your Tribe, Our Tribe and there are some changes happening from my initial concept. The antagonist Bobby is actually going to have a job with Edgar, this is how they meet now. Originally, Bobby was going to be the type of person that always seemed to have money but no job. Changing that now so that Bobby can work on him for a lot longer. I’ve outlined the first act and I am working on the second act. Maybe I’ll have the outline done by the end of the month and the novel I am working on now done by the middle of August. We’ll see.

Hope you all stay well and safe.
