Figuring Out What to Do

Today I sat down and had no plan. None. I could not figure out for the life of me what to work on. I have a ms that needs to be edited by the end of November, but I could not get into the mood to work on it. Every word was torture. This is editing mind you. I know where the story is going and how it’s going to end, but every sentence I wrote didn’t seem to flow the way it should and I wasn’t feeling the chemistry between my H and h. It was rather like getting teeth pulled. :evil:

On top of that, I feel as if I’m being very passive. Everything is mailed out and I’m just waiting. I hate that. I need to be working toward something. So I’m off to take a shower, which is where I seem to come up with story ideas. Then I’m going to read. Hopefully, by the time I’m done I’ll have figured what direction to take next. :smile:

Oh, and for those of you watching Lori Foster’s Message Board, if you see anything I should know, please tell me. :oops: I’m trying to limit my trips to that board to maintain my sanity. I’ll return the favor to you if I hear anything. Thank you tons. I’m really, really, really wishing for good news for all of us. Best of luck and heartfelt wishes for success, Ellen, Larissa, and HelenKay. I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed!! :grin:
