![]() I'm terrible with follow-through. I'm convinced it's undiagnosed ADHD. If I'd actually go and get tested maybe I'd have an answer. (There goes that undiagnosed ADHD again!) I have to admit I've been lax on writing lately. Keeping the house up, running to this or that appointment, work, family ... they keep a writer away from her writing. Then there's the laziness (undiagnosed ADHD?) and depression. Vitamin D helps, but not enough. Self-flagellation (I'm excellent at self-loathing, FYI) isn't helping either. My dying PC could be a factor. (A tiny bit, anyways.) So I bit the bullet and splurged on a new MacBook Air. It's slim and slender but it's got what I need to get cracking: A keyboard for typing. Some software and applications for preserving writing, and tinkering with covers and other ideas. I can also format my stuff in Vellum again! It all feels so shiny and new. So that's what I'm doing now. Revamping the covers a bit as I work on book six (I've got several thousand words and some directions I can meander into). I've also got some other projects in mind, some resulting from my periodic bizarre dreams, or random brain farts/musings about threads I'd like to stitch into stories. There is also another semi children's book that I call my own version of Alice in Wonderland (as a very loose elevator pitch) that I intend to get back to. At least I feel like with the new laptop that I've recovered some of my brain. Now, I must tell my easily distracted gray matter to get going on writing and outlining and all that good stuff. My seven or eight fans depend on it! (Did I mention I'm great at poking fun at myself? Or maybe I'm just being super realistic?) Oh, and happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate the day.
