I know...I know!

I know it's mid- April. I haven't written anything this month. I've been busy. We're buying a new house and my brain has been tangled. I hate doing straight laced stuff (paying bills, gathering documents). I have just about finished up working with this client and that's good because it'll give me more time to focus on my own work. I'm taking a creative writing class this summer. Actually I'm taking two, and I thought that I'd finish my book, because I'm still not finished, and have it at the printer while I take the creative writing class. Now I'm wondering if that makes sense? One one hand I was thinking that if I didn't have the book at the printer I'd be tempted to do another re-write, and sometimes you have to let it fly, but I know at least adding somethings to it after I take the creative writing class would help. And it would be stupid to send it to print before I take my first creative writing class. But on another note I'm tired of looking at it and I don't want to get caught up in a game of correcting and get afraid to have it printed. It is very scary.
Easter was good. My mother-in-law was in town, it was nice. We went out to dinner this past weekend and I over ate on Saturday and Sunday. So actually as soon as I get off the computer I'm going on my four mile run. Then I've got laundry. Then I have to go into the city to buy groceries, maybe. I don't have any coffee creamer so I didn't have my morning cup of coffee!
So my timeline for the next couple of weeks is hopefully get a lot of re-writing done. I'd like to have the book in a place to where I can just touch it up after the creative writing class. I'll be moving soon, if everything goes through on the house. But before that we'll have to have the land cleared. Either way I know I have to finished before school is out for the kids because I'd rather not have them here while I'm working. When school first started I couldn't write because they weren't around. All day I'd stare at the computer screen and as soon as they walked through the door I'd start typing away yelling at them: HUSH!
And I never heard from Agate, which is probably a good thing.
