Time worked:  2:30

Work done:  Twelfth meeting of the Tri-County Sisterhood of the Traveling Book. We got through just over three pages, and were pretty happy with it.

I have decided not to push myself to continue my individual revision of “Adventures in Pithea,” in anticipation of NaNoWriMo. I don’t want to burn out on the daily evening grind before November even starts. However, I would like to take some time in the next 10 days to write up a story introduction for “Pursuit of Power,” as well as at least one character introduction from the story, all from Drear’s POV (the narrator). We’ll see how that works out.

Work done:  Eleventh meeting of the Tri-County Sisterhood of the Traveling Book. We got through two and a half pages, and made a few notes for things to come back to later.

I haven’t posted in a week, and that is thoroughly reflective of the work I’ve done in that time. Actually, that’s not completely true. I did go over my outline for “Pursuit of Power,” the story I plan to start writing for NaNoWriMo in a few weeks. The busy season at my work has reached its conclusion, with the last show we have to go away for happening last weekend. I’ve been tired, cranky, busy, and just generally unable to focus on writing. The once-over I gave my outline happened in the evening at the show, but it was all I could do the whole weekend. These weekly meetings are wonderful, because I know that no matter what, I’ll still be brought back to my story every week. I truly can’t say what my plans are for the next two weeks until NaNo starts. I feel I should keep going forward on my revision for “Adventures in Pithea,” but at the same time, I’m not sure it’s worth dragging myself back into that story, just to completely switch gears to a new story when November hits. But I also don’t feel like it’s good to do absolutely nothing. So we’ll see.
