Happily engrossed

I love it when I wake up with fresh ideas for plot lines or character development. I even love it when a new idea wakes me up early on the weekend and I can’t fall back to sleep because the characters want to have their story told. I’ve been happily engrossed with story ideas for the past few days.

Although not many of my personal acquaintances know this about me, I write children’s fiction as well as romance. There are some days when I have a children’s story flowing at the same speed as one of my novels and it’s wonderful. I’d love to have a few extra hours in every day…(or in the very least, learn to manage my time better).

I’ll be the first to admit that I need a lot of work on managing my time. Since I’ve been sick with Heaven-knows-what for the past two and half weeks, I haven’t been working on anything at my usual speed. So, I have a lot of catching up to do.

I’ll have a little free time this coming week and I look forward to seeing how many projects I can juggle. Until I sign that coveted contract, I’m free to work on whatever takes my fancy. For now, I’ll try to be grateful for that and not be envious of all those who have deadlines. :)
