    Saturday Night Filler

    Giving Myself a Rest… Yeah, I know. Shocking for a person who basically works from morning to late at night seven days a week all year. But just completed a ton of projects, starting a few others, so figured I would just give myself a day. I sort of got the hint when I took a second nap that I might need some down time. You think? (grin) So last day of the special blog workshop sale. All March workshops have started On Tuesday the two special workshops will start. I should have email to everyone on Monday on those. Still haven’t gotten all the information from Kickstarter on that,…

    Taking Another Rest Day

    I Got All Regular Assignments Done… Will finish tomorrow some assignments and letters I am behind on, then read some stories I just found from the Space Opera class that I haven’t read yet.

But still today I ended up recorded a bunch of videos for the Short Story Study Along and answered a bunch of email and even read a few short stories. And got most of my steps in as well. So a slow day for me that would be a very busy day for many others. Still, I feel rested. So…

    A Day To Rest

    Well, Sort Of… I got thinking back to the last time I took a day off and neither Kris nor I could remember. Maybe a year? Maybe longer. And realize I don’t mean working five days a week. I go at this stuff from right after I get up to early hours of the next morning. Seven days a week. I haven’t even played a hand of tournament poker in over a year. Seen a few movies, ran in a few runs, but then I would go right back to work. And I am not calling my fiction writing work. That is actually the fun time of the day, but…
