28 August 2008, Thursday
Okay, I give up! I can't get the widget to sit in the middle of the page. Being the fastidious person I am, I just know it's going to niggle at me until I know how to do it. Anywhoos, I saw this at the BB and thought it would be fun to post up the widget and be part of this promo event (no,it's not for the contest, it's a bit late isn't it?!). After all, you never know how many sites you bump into who will also be sporting this widget. It's pretty cool, really.
Okay, I got it to sit on the left side. I still can't figure out how to get it to be in the middle, but at least now I'm still not poring over this post.
Other books I'm waiting on are:
August 2008 - Acheron; Sherrilyn Kenyon
September30 - Seduce Me At Sunrise; Lisa Kleypas
September30 - Mr. Cavendish, I Presume; Julia Quinn
October14 - A Wall Flower Christmas; Lisa Kleypas
November04 - One Silent Night; Sherrilyn Kenyon
November25 - When The Duke Returns; Eloisa James
Fall 2008 - Melting Stones; Tamora Pierce
The Unleash Your Story: Make a Difference fund raising event is about to start this coming September. It's a great way to write to keep to your goal as well as help raise money to find a cure for cystic fibrosis. I'm about to join up but I'm sure I won't be able to keep to my goal!I now work six days a week. I have one day a week off (although that day changes every week so I don't know which day that may be) and I work from 5am-530pm - not including my waking up hours and driving to or madly home hours or hours I stay behind to clean up. Any hopes of being able to write have been nicely dashed away.
I have been severely getting writing withdrawal symptoms again. Worse, I'm SO irritable that I want to snap out at everyone. I really feel bad afterwards, but while I'm at it, I feel just fine. It's terrible. It's a hard choice between taking two hours of my sleeping time to write, or to have more sleep and not write. I mean, I don't think I can survive a fifteen hour work day on six hours of sleep.
Since I started working for longer hours, I have written exactly one paragraph. It's a devastation. I'm hoping that after I finish all my chores today I will have the time to sit down and get some substantial writing done to tide me through the next week of work.
I at last got a USB to save my work on. My laptop still regularly scares me and shuts down suddenly, but at least now I have my writing backed up else where. I gotta start my chores now or I'll never get anything done.
Everybody, good luck with your writing!
