Hello, Posse!
I hope your week has been better than mine. While I have had some great news this week (which I hope to be able to tell you about soon if it comes to pass) I have been struggling to write this week. One of the big issues has been an odd sound that has started up in our building. It's maddening!
The best way I could describe this is like a metronome or grandfather clock stuck in our walls, ticking from time to time without warning. It starts up at odd times and goes for an indeterminable amount of time. It is so distracting! I find it hard to concentrate on writing when it is going on, like right now. We have no idea what it is, it just started this week. P.R. was going to go talk to the landlord about it this weekend. In the meantime, I have been playing Zydeco music to cover the sound. I love Zydeco but I think I'm driving everyone else in the building crazy with it. I figure, if I am going to be driven mad, I'm taking everyone with me!
I am actually happy with what I got written last night on part severn, Into the West: Family Ties, I just wish I was further along with the book. I am hoping to do a good push this weekend and get caught up to where I want to be. Cross your fingers!
We are actually getting a jump start on the holidays here for once. We already ordered our Christmas cards and I bought stamps for all of them. I got packages sent off to China for some former students of mine. I hope to actually get my Christmas shopping done this next week so I can just focus on writing and being with my family.
How are your holiday plan going? I would love to hear what you are all doing for the holidays.
Remember, if you are stuck for a gift idea, why not gift someone a book from the Into the West Saga Serial collection? You get to help out a poor indie author (me, obviously) and give an award-winning gift. It's a win-win! Hey, I know that is laying it on heavy, but since I have no money to buy advertising, I have to push the books somehow.
But now it's time for some jokes; have a great weekend, Posse!
Enjoy!
Stephen
