That’s about it.

Missed out on the hump day donuts. That was annoying.

But in general it was just a day.

EBay: sold a pastry mat

Though nothing much to report.

I have agreed to a project which will result in 12 short stories from me to readers next year. Details to follow.

Listed 6 items on eBay tonight. Trying to catch up for not listing anything yesterday. There’s a 1000 item goal at stake. Which, if I do 5-7 listings a night I should hit. As long as I also send my partner in crime photos and descriptions so she can help.

Sold a Trump Taj Mahal pen set and some vintage ViewMaster reels tonight.

Every little bit helps right?

I am off to try to actually get something written. Well, besides emails and blog posts written.

I just remembered that I haven’t posted anything today.

Let’s do an eBay sales round up for the weekend:

1 book

1 creepy metal doll head

1 set of plush dolls

4 copper bracelets

1 Quantum Leap BluRays

So, that’s a pretty good pace. Not the fastest though. Last month was insane. I am deeper into the death pile now, so we are making some progress. It’s like emptying the Titanic with a teacup, but it is still progress. I am proud of me for not calling in sick and going to an auction last week. Baby steps.

Totally forgot to write something last night.

Visited a wonderful natural cemetery in Virginia. There is a beautiful scatter garden for those who have been cremated and adding local wildflower seeds is encouraged.

I plan to be buried there. It’s beautiful and will only get more so as it grows up.

I once wrote a story on an airplane barf bag.

I need to rediscover that joy and creative pressure again.

When the orgy of creation is complete, there is a day of recovery needed. I have so many things which I did not do while I was immersed in writing that I have to catch up on. Submissions, edit reviews, eBay sales, chores.

So that’s what today has been. A day of work topped off by more work.

I have officially started the sequel to the novel whose edits I finished Saturday. I started a new novella possible book yesterday night but the characters and situation need more time to perk before I go any further. Still I have 5 pages into that one and five characters intros and the main thrust of the story is started.

As of 1428 on Monday I have 503 words into the new book. Let’s see how much father I can get by bedtime. Or well, I can’t take it anymore and I have work tomorrow time.

I bid on several things in an auction. For Christmas presents and or resale depending. I love online shopping.

I also was reminded that when I let my hair just air dry I end up with surfer girl hair. I so rarely let my hair dry without it being in a bun that I forgot that it was naturally wavy. Lol. Ah the curse of the female in our society. We always want the hair we don’t have — like flat hair or curly hair. People pay money to get these sorts of waves.

End of day update. Novel is at

3k words and just starting chapter three.

I have updated several stories and finished none of them. I reminded myself that Grubhub exists for a reason and that I am not restricted to the food I have already in the room to snack on.

Also, that IHOP portions are huge.

Found a story I didn’t remember on my hard drive and I have just been getting acquainted with the characters. It is always fun. I think this one is probably a short story. Or it’s a series of characters’ perspectives ala Rashoman.

Completed the edits on my latest book. It’s ready to go back to the editor and beta reader. Then on the layout and copy editing.

Finished 1 short story. Sort of an unclassified thing. I think it ends up as a lit fic? Maybe?

Started working on another short story and the sequel to the book whose edits I just finished.

Ttyt

Getting ready to start my three day novel experience with a loooooong night’s sleep.

I will see you all tomorrow and report on progress.
