*Catchy Title Not Found Due to Packing*

Posted on July 4, 2015 by Charles Yallowitz

This past week was time with the kid.  Makes me realize that I won’t be getting anything done for the last half of August while he’s home.  That new idea might take longer to write than I expected then since I doubt I can finish it during my 5 days away.  Not unless it comes out shorter than expected, but I have 14-15 chapters so far.  Maybe more if some adventures take longer than others.  Anyway, I’ll be lucky if I get the initial sequence of events done before leaving on the trip.

As for the trip, I’m away and that’s really it.  Classic car show, zoo, and fireworks are on the agenda as far as I know.  Beyond that, I’m just one of the drivers and kid wranglers.  It will be interesting to see how he does sleeping in a bed that isn’t his own.  My son is a creature of habit and schedule, so it’s anybody’s guess how he’ll react to a new environment.  All I will say is that forcing an issue does not end while.  The kid does not forget what upsets him and makes sure you hear about it for days.  Fingers crossed that things run smoothly and I don’t return Monday night feeling like I went 50 rounds with a hyperactive, gamma-powered squirrel.

So, what is the plan for next week?

  1. EDITING!  I start the big editing run with the hope of getting through Books 9-11 before writing Book 12.
  2. Outlining new idea bit by bit to be ready for August.
  3. Get back to biking since I only did it once this week.
  4. Eat, drink, and sleep.
  5. Maybe get a haircut.

Happy July 4th to those who celebrate!
Happy weekend to those that don’t!
