Weekly News, Prompt & Goals - May 7, 2012
Prompt o' the Week: A wall of televisions on the back wall of an electronics store all display different images, the bright colors flashing madly as a sea of people flows by. The crowd thins, and a man stops to watch, examining each screen in turn. When he reaches the last one, the display changes with a personal message just for him...
Ah, organization. Where have you been this spring? I missed you so...

Skipping the long psychological analysis that's probably not all that interesting to anyone but myself, I've been in a slump lately. Simply put, my brain needed a break from...well, as much as it could get, so I've been focusing on just doing the bare minimums and calling it good. And I kept thinking the slump was lifting, only to fall backward again. Annoying and frustrating, to say the least. But this week is definitely different. As I write this (early, for the first time in weeks), the laundry is done, my chores are done, and our house is cleaner than it's been in several weeks. I got some crafting done this weekend, some errands run, and most of the bills are paid. I feel good about all of that.
These are very good signs. I'm optimistic that I'm back on the upswing, and my mind is finally coming back from it's self-imposed vacation. Poor little brain. I do beat up on it rather more than I should sometimes. With any luck, I should be able to finally get some of those things I've been meaning to do for the past month *done*, rather than just thinking about it.
And I have a new story idea I'd like to explore one of these days too. A romantic suspense plot I'm quite enamored with...and unfortunately, it might bump the short stories I was planning to do aside for awhile. We'll see.
I'm one, maybe two scenes away from finishing my latest erotic romance story, which is always really exciting. And I think I'm "over" my little writing crisis from last Wednesday's post too. So...tequila all around!
In any case, here's what's going on in my world this week:
- Four serial scenes (hopefully finish one story)
- Design the new cover for The Minister's Maid
- Finish up the polymer clay mushrooms & coasters I started this past weekend
- Newsletters
- Blog posts all around
- Update the Google calendars & start using them again.
- Update blog & web site (finally)
- Update blog & web site (finally)
Here's to a decent Monday for all - and good luck with your "to-do's" this week as well!
Enjoy
