Thieving Thursday: Things To Do
>> Thursday, June 18, 2009
Wouldn't you know my sister, Shakespearemom, would put me to work?
Le sigh
On her blog she put up a mindblowingly long and intensive list of things she plans to do this summer. The kind of huge list I normally associate with flit.
So I promised to put up my own list for Thieving Thursday. It will not be a flit-worthy or Shakespeare-worthy list and I'm giving my list until the end of the year because, hey, I don't get the summer off. But I will swear to do it.
- I shall finish painting my moon. I only need the detail and the glow in the dark paint, but I keep putting it off.
- If the editor looking at my finished novel Curse of the Jenri doesn't buy it, I shall go trolling, before the year is out, for an agent.
- I will complete Beast Within. I'm on a rewrite and I, although I have more tweaks, I think, I think I'm close to a marketable manuscript.
- I will complete the first draft of my paranormal-type romance which desperately needs a title.
- I'll figure out a title for my paranormal-type romance. :)
- I will keep up with my blogs.
- I won't let my work at work fall behind.
- I will figure out some sort of quick getaway (affordable) for the family this summer.
- I will take my family on that getaway I devise.
- I will swim or ride bikes at least three times a week.
- I shall finish my son's afghan.
- I shall finish my current cross-stitch project.
- I will sew up the holes in my baby chair.
Hey, when you're done, I have a list of things for you to do...
Oh, Lord, you're close enough geographically, you might be able to get me to do it, too.
That's a good list. It sounds pretty ambitious but not totally unrealistic.
I just e-mailed Lou about Curse of the Jenri. I'll let you know what he says.
I didn't even mention my blog (thank God I only have ONE)... and you already keep up with those far better than I ever did.
Great list.
Yeah.
In my experience, any actually doable list looks pretty pathetic. But I don't like to commit unless I can do it.
That list looks great, but the whole biking and swimming thing! Let's not get too crazy!
Good luck with Curse of the Jenri. If you're interested in reader feedback for Jenri or Beast Within, I'd be happy to oblige.
I just received a rejection for my first manuscript, so I'm trolling myself while I work on the sequel.
Cheers.
Kirsten, I wish it was optional but I'm past that.
Richard, thank you. When I finish the rewrite on Beast Within, I might take you up on that.
