So, on to the quick-and-dirty version of the update - Sunday is church day, and these kids don't dress themselves.
- I stuck to the every-other-day routine
- I added about 1000 words to the story (but took about 300 out that weren't pulling their weight)
- I avoided poetry all week, to stay focused on getting 'unstuck', and answered a few questions while writing
- I even got the energy up to make a "real meal" a few times this week, rather than the 'bake something frozen and convenient from the freezer section of the store' I don't have a large enough freezer to cook a lot of meals in advance to freeze, so this is a huge step forward for us.
- The crutches only got used when out and about, so I'm regaining some strength (well, in my heel, anyway. A bit in my leg maybe, too :-)
- I'm in a good position (er, not in a necessarily Stuck place) for good writing this week, so I can start critting and reworking some poetry again too. Yay!!
I hope that everyone has a great week! Take care!

Sounds like you have a lot on your plate! I am amazed that you find the time to write. Perhaps I'm a little envious of YOU in your ability to do it all :)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to checking in on your progress!
Had to laugh at the "real meal" accomplishment. That's a big one! (I hate to cook.)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are in a good place. Hope you have another great week!
Well done, it sounds like you've had an awesome week! I hope it keeps going as well for you and I bow to your culinary skills, my poor kids suffer with me around. ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad you're making progress both on your work and recovery. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking in, all of you! I am happy to have a moment to stop and see how we're all doing! Getting encouragement from the group helps a lot, so I really appreciate your generosity and your time. See you all soon!!
ReplyDeletehi - sounds like a good week - I like cooking but have yo confess to hating haveing to come away from the machine when in the middle of a flow of words to make meals - look after yourself
ReplyDeleteHey Alberta - it's a good problem you have, to worry of interrupting a flow of ideas!!! When you manage both, though, everyone's less grouchy - always a writing plus :-)
