Slowing Down

Fall is officially here, and it’s even kind of cooling down.  People in my neighborhood have Halloween decorations out already!

Fall for me means slowing down on the writing front.  I’m going back to work, birthdays and holidays are coming up, I love to bake when it gets cold out, and it’s as my baby becomes more mobile keeping the house spotless becomes even more important.

I’m okay with all of this.  I have been one hundred percent focused on my writing the past two months.  I have moved at a lightening fast pace, spent every free moment in front of the computer and every non-free moment thinking about being in front of the computer.  It’s time to take a little bit of a break.

I’m working on my WIP, but instead of hoping to get it done in a month, my goal is to have it done by the end of the year.  I should hear back on all of my submissions by then and be a good time to step back and reevaluate.

Of course, if any more contests come up I will probably jump on the bandwagon, because I just can’t resist a contest.
