It’s amazing how little you get done when sickness strikes. I was sicker this week thanI have been since I was a little kid and spent entire days sprawled out on thecouch watching cartoons and sipping Gatorade.(By the way, "Gesundheit" means "health" in German. That's why you say it when to people when they sneeze).
I’ve decided that I need to be a little flexible on my blogschedule for my busy life. I’ll still shoot for Monday and Thursday, but itmight be occassionaly bumped to a surrounding day.
I’m feeling very good about my writing with lots of a good newscoming in. We’re almost done with theshortest month of the year and I’m only about 2,000 words shy of hitting 50,000again. I figure if I can hit the mark in February, every other month should bea breeze. Thank goodness for that Leap Day though this year where I get anextra day to get ahead on writing versus a normal year.

Writing Tip of the Week:
When working towards writing goals, always write a little extra onthose days when things are flowing well. It’s like saving up a few extradollars “for a rainy day.” Even though I was sick and got very little writingdone for a few days this week, I still did not fall behind on my overall goalbecause I had been following this practice. There’s nothing more discouragingthan seeing yourself fall farther and farther behind. Never let yourself getinto that position.
Writing Update:
Excellent progress on my novels with more than 30,000 words onWandaful already. I worked on developing the series’ system of magic this weekand I think it works really well. It has to do with different colors of magicthat stand for different things, and I think you’ll all like it when I debutit. Other projects are plugging along,and I found out that two of my modern parables are going to be included in thea published anthology coming out this fall.
“Canticle of Night” is almost complete and has been reallyfun. Please take a moment to support itby clicking the ‘like’ button on the page. They have picked it up for a secondseason, so the story will continue! I’ll keep you posted on more details.
