First order of business . . . this post has been scheduled because I’ll be running around today.
Second order of business . . . pancakes.
Third order of business . . . stopping this joke from going any further.
I do want to say that I’m still trying to get the secret project off the ground. The volunteers have been told what it is and I’m hoping to keep it secret until the one thing I need to happen actually happens. Sent a message to the right people early in the week and haven’t heard back. Apparently, this doesn’t happen as quickly as I thought it would. On the other hand, most of my projects are so terrified of hitting a deadline that I wouldn’t know what to do if it actually happened.
Not much else to report this week because this has been the house of disease. My son was getting over strep while my wife had bronchitis and I had an upper respiratory infection. I’m not done. My dad got the flu and my mom got a virus, which means every person in this house got a different ailment. So chunks of my time were spent with errands and cooking. We’re also cleaning up for Passover next Saturday, so I’m realizing how smart it was to not start a new book in April. I tried getting back into biking too, which my body wasn’t entirely ready for.
The last week in April is my son’s Spring Break, so I won’t be getting much done around that time. Thankfully, I got all the posts for May ready, which means I’m out of ideas for June. I have an Ichabod Brooks story that needs to be posted in its 7-8 sections, so that might be something. Asking for topics doesn’t seem to go very well, which means I need to sit and think.
The only progress I’ve made this week is designing a few of the future Bedlam characters that will appear in the sequel. Cassidy and Lloyd got their redesigns too. Another thing that turned up is that I got to thinking about where to go after Legends of Windemere. I don’t know if I mean stories or being an author in general. With it being so long since a Windemere book release, I’m not doing too hot. Still I should consider if I’m going to write up the first of a new series or do that ‘epilogue’ that closes out a characters personal journey. An issue with the latter is that it would reveal the ending of Legends. Maybe I can just write it and publish it a year after Book 15 goes live.
Did I mention where I am today? Totally forgot about that. Well, some people might remember there was something about a cardiologist. It didn’t happen because the referral didn’t take my insurance . . . or the plan I’ll have next. So I’m at the clinic again for a physical and whatever they can do for the ticker. Another cardiologist will be called on Monday and we’ll see what happens. Not exactly thrilled about all this since I’m scared about being charged for this when we can’t afford it. Hopefully I can have something go in my favor this year.
So, what are the goals for the week?
- Create more characters for Chasing Bedlam.
- Clean house for company.
- Get the cardiologist thing over with.
- Try to up the biking from 10 to 12 miles.
- Plan some stuff for June posts.
