Today wasn't my most productive day, although I did do my share of taxi-ing the kids around, paying bills, washing dishes and cooking dinner. I even read a little! (While waiting at ballet for my 5 year old) But what I really wanted to do was what these guys are doing!
I will next happily announce that my writing muse did come back. I plowed through a huge chunk of the revision I'm working on and have worked out more of the story in my head. All in all, I'm glad to be in the groove again. Thanks again to everyone for their inspiration during my slumpy period.
Right now I'm reading three books, one unpublished from my writing partner, one published from a friend of hers, and another that I got through a B& N deal.
They are all very good and very different. I think that's why I read a number of books at the same time- it's a little like flipping through the channels on TV, depending on what mood I'm in determines which book I'll pick up and read. I have the published ones listed on my Goodreads account, and when I'm finished I'll post a review.
What are you up to this week? Glad you stopped by :)
That's one reason I read multiple books at a time, too. I'm so glad you're back in the saddle! Hope the writing continues!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Me too.
DeleteGlad you're inspired again!
ReplyDeleteI can only read one book at a time. I confuse myself otherwise.
Thanks!
DeleteI try to stick with one book but it never quite works out. I'll admit it does sometimes get confusing when I have a bunch going at once, but I can't help it. I think I get bored at the slow parts, and all books have slow parts.
Welcome back Writing Muse! That's great to hear. It definitely stinks when your muse is gone.
ReplyDeleteThis week? I'm working on prints & small paintings.
Hey there! So good to hear from you again! Hope all's well in the art world :)
DeleteI also took a leisurely day. The brain needs it at times to prevent mental breakdown. lol I went and saw "Sinister" at the theater and liked it. Good scary parts. caught up also on my blog as I am going to host a Halloween blog up. Just having fun for a change rather than all work. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a relaxing day! Although I don't know how "leisurely" I would feel while watching a horror movie. I try not to watch them because I have an overactive imagination.
DeleteGlad you got your "groove back"! I spent my week doing the usual work and mom tasks & found some time to write. yes! great blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining my blog! It's a balancing act with kids, that's for sure.
DeleteSo happy your muse is back! :D If you happen to see my muse anywhere, can you tell her to get back here! (; Hugs
ReplyDeleteI'll keep an eye out for her! Hugs back at ya :)
DeleteI can only read one book at a time - guess I'm too easily confused. :)
ReplyDeleteAppears you're not alone. I just can't stick to one ;)
DeleteI get my reading done when in the ballet parking lot! LOL. And I'm SO happy you've found inspiration again, Rose. SO awesome. Ride the wave as long as you can! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! I will- and thanks for encouraging me along the way.
DeleteGlad you found your muse!
ReplyDeleteYeah, me too! Was getting a little worried there.
DeleteGlad to hear that you're back in the swing of things...
ReplyDeleteAt the moment, I'm busy with Alex&Ciara's blogfest.
I've have to head over to check out your post!
DeleteI also read more than one book at a time. One print for daytime and another on Kindle at night!
ReplyDeleteNas
I keep print books around too- like for taking to work or reading while soaking in the tub.
DeleteIt's good that you kicked that writing slump. If I'm not drawn in by a book, I'll read another one alongside.
ReplyDeleteI agree on both counts!
DeleteThat's a great way to think about books--fitting your mood to your reading.
ReplyDeleteYeah- apparently I have a lot of moods :)
DeleteI tend to read more than one book at a time. I never know what mood I'll be in.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteSounds like you're very organized. I have to get caught up on my reading. Julie
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm glad I at least SOUND organized. In reality, not so much. But I have been doing a lot of reading lately.
