I am tired. I've been tired all day and not gotten much done -- and I don't care! Ha!
Really, got a few things here and there, talked with Russ on Skype and I'm going to bed early. Tomorrow I'll do better, I hope. I have things I need to get done.

I got an incredible amount of editing done today. I'm over a third of the way through Silky 3, and I think I still have a chance of turning it over to Holly before my birthday.
I am really enjoying the work, too -- though my voice is going. Reading aloud to catch problems. It really does work well.. But as it gets later, I notice more and more how my right eye is still giving me trouble -- I can't read out of it at all -- and that gives me a headache. So time to stop, post this, and get to bed.
Overall, a good day, though!

It's up in the 30's again. We're up to the rain/snow/rain/snow type of forecast for the next week. That makes it difficult to tell if we're going to lose much of the snow or not. It is melting, I'm happy to say. And not very fast, which is, over all, a good thing.
But I would like to see grass again. I'd like to not slip on the steps when I go outside. Still going to have a ways to wait on that, unfortunately.
I have a good part of the DAZ newsletter already done, so I'm in good shape there. I'm going to be working on Silky 3 tonight and hope that I can get a good hunk of it read/edited.
As usual, a lot of stuff going on and not enough time to do it all!
We begin to see ground!

Had one of those odd days. Kept thinking it was Wednesday. Then realized it was Thursday and had to get the newsletter done. Ooops. But it's finished and posted, and now I can go back to Silky 3.
I'm over half way through Silky 3, but I keep getting pulled away by other things. I really would like to have it done by my birthday on the 8th. I'm not certain that I can, but it's worth a try!
So, since I have the DAZ stuff done, I think it's time to get back to work on it!

I'm getting closer to done on Silky 3. I also have the cover nearly done. I think I'm going to have it done by Monday, which was my goal. I didn't think I was going to make it.
Other than that, not a thing going on. I'm getting work done. I hope to have all the real work done tonight so that I can have the weekend off to write and play with graphic stuff. Sounds like a plan to me!

Okay, I could actually have the editing of Silky 3 done today if I just get to work on it. So far, I've managed to do just about everything but that, though. I get this way towards he end of a book.
It's not that I don't want to finish. I'm looking forward to it. But there's always the feeling that you missed something, that it's going to be a stupid mistake, and everyone will point it out to you when it's too late.
But that's the life of a writer. I just need to finish this beast!

Got a lot of work done. It's now actually the 8th and my birthday, but we'll just kind of ignore that. Seems like a good plan, given the situation. I did, however, get Silky 3 done. I'm very happy!
And tired. Time to go crawl off and sleep for a few hours!

Russ sent me flowers and the bear. Yay. It was a real surprise to find them on the porch and brightened an otherwise dull day. Not a bad day, just a dull one.
I did start a new novel, though, so all is well there. Got the first 1k in about 40 minutes. I think this one will do well.
That's it for me for the day! Let's hope that something kind of picks up here. At least the snow is nearly melted.

Today, I decided on a big change. I pulled out pieces to a couple previous computers and set up an area to work off-line.
Yeah, me, off line. Away from the Internet. Away from all the graphic programs as well. Just a writing computer.
And you know, it would go real well if I could get the damned keyboard to work. LOL
Of course, it's one of those things that you think will just go quickly -- set it up, see how you like it ... why do I ever think it's going to be that easy? Where are the cords? Where's the portable DVD drive? and do you have any idea how long it took to find a USB stick?
And then, and then... missing operating system, even though operating system was there a moment before. I finally realized it was trying to restart with the USB stick plugged in. Pulled out. Found Windows XP again.
I am going to write on that damned computer. It took long enough to get it running that it is going to pay for it.
Providing it has actually found the keyboard again.

It's been a long day and I haven't gotten nearly as much done as I should have. I haven't felt well for most of it, and though I tried to concentrate and focus on work, it just wasn't kicking in for me. I think I'm going to head to be early tonight.
So I'm going to post this and just go relax for the rest of the night.
