Weekend Update Has No Major Plans

We've been doing things since the beginning of the month, so we're highly tempted to do not much of anything at all this weekend.  We're no longer exhausted, but the idea of not having any plans is a nice change.  Just some grocery shopping and not much else.

We're doing okay since A's job loss earlier this week.  A has been keeping herself busy and things are still running as normal.  I'm staying busy with the Day Job and the writing.  It feels kind of weird because I'm so used to the 'now how are we gonna survive' reaction to losing a job and having little money in the bank.  It's the opposite this time out; we're financially calm for the moment, so that reaction is now trying to find purchase somewhere when it doesn't need to be there.  I think now it's more along the lines of me having to adjust my Best Laid Plans AGAIN to make my own writing career work.  Frustrating, but it is what it is.

Slowly getting through the revision/reread of In My Blue World.  It's taking a hell of a lot longer than I'd like -- I think it's because I'm too distracted at the moment, for various reasons, some obvious -- but I'm soldiering through the best I can.  I just need to focus more, is all.

The Apartment Complex story is coming along well, much to my delight.  I'm about one or two scenes from a Major Plot Point that's been in my head for quite some time now, and I'm looking forward to writing it. Not sure when I'll finish this one, but I purposely didn't give myself a deadline.  I'm taking my time with it.  In fact, I was almost thinking of submitting this one somewhere instead of self-publishing it, I feel it's that important a story.  No concrete plans yet, though.  Just ideas so far.

So yeah.  Relaxing weekend with not much planned sounds like a lovely idea. :)

 

Hope everyone has a nice weekend!
