I feel all over the place, writing-wise. I need to work on a couple of query letters and synopses - blah. I need to revamp a bit on my Mod X offering and then finish the thing - ho hum. I’ve been fiddling with the idea of a short story/novella to submit to Cobblestone Press. Erotica. Whoo-wee! That sounds like the most fun to me.
So what I should be doing and what I actually want to be doing are two different things. I need to focus, I need to submit, cos I am this close to submitting two things. But I want to write a dirty little story that’s been lingering in my head for the last few days, and I’ve already put a little bit down on paper. Aaah, nothing like starting a fresh new story!
Is everyone else focused? Doing what they should be? Not me! I swear, this weekend I’ll get down to business. Promise.
Congrats to Cobblestone Press on their opening day and to all of the new authors! I can’t wait to buy me a couple of new ebooks….

I get like that too. Things coming from all sides and nothing ends up getting done. Maybe try picking the two most important right now and give yourself the goal…ie: get this synopsis and chapters done to send out by the end of the week. That way you have a set time and know that you can work on stuff like dirty little stories *blush* as soon as its done…kind of like a reward.
Course, do I take my own advice?
Nope.
Shelli Stevens says:
Ahhh you are so sweet! Thanks for mentioning Cobblestone Press in your blog. I hope you write that dirty little story! LOL.
Yeah some people can multi task a hundred things at once, but I can’t really. I finish one thing, grab the other. It’s hard when you want/need to do all at once. Good luck.
Jordan Summers says:
Yep, unfortunately I am buckling down. I have to right now. I’ve played enough (ie wasted time).*g*
Laine Morgan says:
I’m rarely as focused as I’d like to be. As soon as I open MS Word and look at my WIP, I remember that I need to start the laundry, or the dishwasher, or empty the dishwasher, or fold clothes, or cook dinner, or dust, or anything besides actually write.
Jodie says:
I know what you mean! I’m a bit scattered at the moment regarding writing. I’m pleased with Cobble-stone so I’m thinking of producing something for them…
April says:
I can sympathize in the worst way! I need to get the wip finished asap, I need to get a “blurb” done apparently. But all I can seem to get done is a lot of staring at the screen and surfing :-)
Good luck! Let me know if you find a way to get it all together!
Julie S says:
The internet is way too distracting. Like right now!!! But it wouldn’t matter. I have trouble focusing and doing what I need to do no matter what. I think I have adult A.D.D.
Sharon J says:
Hmmmm…. should do and want to, if only they’d come together more often!
Lyric says:
I can get like that too, Karen. But, I made myself focus this past week and ended up finishing two stories that I subbed to C.P.
Now, will I be able to be as focused next week is the question.
