Okay, so I haven't really been missing, just living away from my computer.
"But Trish!" you exclaim. "That sounds so great!" Um, no. Not quite. You see, time away from computer has a direct correlation to both an increase in dollars spent and a decrease in words composed.
I've been traveling like a crazy lady and have read some excellent books. But I've also been spending money, not working out, and worst of all, not really writing. So much for that "Get my query ready by WriteOnCon" goal I had for this year. I'm so bummed about this. I totally failed myself.
But all that is behind me now. It's August. My July "Month of Insanity" is behind me, and I'm looking ahead. I might not be back to a 2-3 post/week schedule, but I'm close.
What I've been doing on my summer vacation? Here you go:
singing
dancing
flying
helping
reading
dating
revising
organizing
cleaning
shopping
spending
eating
drinking
trying
laughing
dreaming
and most importantly,
LIVING.
See you all soon.
xoxo
Sounds like you had loads of fun! :D
ReplyDeleteSometimes we forget that living is the most important thing! Good to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteI think living is crucial! How else will you find new things to write about? ;)
ReplyDeleteGo you! That's a pretty incredible list...makes me think I'd better rearrange some things on my priority list to make more time for that all-important LIVING! ;)
ReplyDelete@ Miss Cole: I had to come back to the blog world--I need more of your awesome music suggestions!
ReplyDelete@ AJC: It's good to be back. And then I look at the Google Reader number of unread blogs, and I kind of freak out...
@Ade: Very true! I spent 3 days camping with my nephews and could kick myself for not having a notebook with me to write down all the great things they said. Kids are so great. Even when they pee in your tent. :)
@ Nicole: Well, I think I've been doing a great job of another verb--procrastinating. :) Time to buckle down and hit my WIP!
Woohoo vacation! Heyyy, step away from the computer and have fun.
ReplyDeleteThat list is fantastic. How can you say you've failed yourself when you've got a list like that to show for it? Sometimes a break is the best thing. It gives you enough energy and motivation to dive straight back in to the WIP.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your back!!! Unfortunately just as it's my turn to leave... but I'm looking forward to making up a list like yours!
ReplyDeleteLaughing,dreaming and eating? Sounds awesome (and practically utopia if you add in books and a beach). Glad you had fun :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fantastic summer!
