Celebrate the Small Things

Many thanks to Lexa Cain and her wonderful co-hosts, and to Viklit for starting this hop!

What I'm celebrating this week:

1. I've been banging my head against the keyboard over a particular plot point this last week, and finally, finally on Thursday evening I had an idea and wrote blissfully until my oldest daughter came in and told me she was HUNGRY - and somehow, even though it was nearly 8p.m., I didn't overcook the beef roast.

2. Um, despite said above project being due very shortly, I have just barely enough time to work on it. (I will try to visit around today, but my comments might be tiny short.)

3. I've had some amazing retweets this last week for A Jumble of 500+ Writing Prompts, and I'll have an interview with Shelley Sly on Monday!



If you are looking for a freebie flash fiction story, check out "Seedling" for Amazon kindle - it's permafree these days.


What are you celebrating today?

    Yay Tyrean! Write away! Congratulations on the retweets!

    [Also, I accidentally deleted the coupon you sent on A Jumble of 500+ Writing Prompts. One question though, can it be downloaded to a laptop? I don't have kindle or an iphone?]

      Thank you. I'll be more careful. I need to be more tech minded, really.

    Yay for the muse finally coming through! And if I had a nickel for all the times I got caught up on the laptop and forgot about something on the stove ... well, I'd have a lot of nickels! lol At least your beef survived! Have a lovely weekend. :)

    Congrats on the breakthrough! Things like dinner take a back seat at times like those.

      Yes, they are great to celebrate! Of course, in this case, I'm celebrating by writing more.

    That's really getting into your work when you forget dinner. Your daughter must be very patient to wait until 8. I'm celebrating another beautiful day in Los Angeles though I still haven't been outside to enjoy it.

      Yes, I was really into it yesterday, and my daughters are extremely patient - thankfully.
      I'm glad you're enjoying another beautiful day! I hope you can get outside!

    Gotta love the breakthroughs. I burnt something in the oven just last week when I was cooking in between writing.

      Cooking and writing are a dangerous mix - this time I had that roast on low heat . . . the slow, juicy cook that actually worked with my crazy writing time.

    My commenting has taken a hit. I try to get word count in first and then blog. It's all about the words, right?

    I'll be diving into A Jumble Of 500+ Writing Prompts for... my daily haiku, my weekly 5-sentence-fiction and other flash snippets...
    Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

    Oh boy have I overcooked my fair share of stuff while getting lost in the writing, lol. I'm celebrating a day off :)

    Those interruptions can be a nuisance, but life is what we write about, huh. Hope the project is moving forward okay. 'Stay the course' _|)

    Oh gosh. The infamous kiddo interruption while trying to dig ideas out of the catacombs of our brains... Great you got to cook, though. Food always helps, especially dessert. Did you have any?
