Okay, it’s a weird day.
So far, everything that can go wrong, has. Yet, I’m still in a strangely good mood. I think it’s my new attitude. Yep, it’s sort of like Don’t sweat the small stuff, but bigger. As in, Oh well, I have no control, so let the universe have at it. LOL
Example, I’m stressed about Primal Male. I, personally, am not thrilled with the end. I wanted to keep tinkering with it, evenjust fro a day…but it’s in production, and that means no more tinkering. My editor was wonderful enough to let me tinker away until it was “Get it it, NOW!” but alas, I’m still unsure of it.
Editor says it’s good, agent says it’s great. Test readers all enjoyed it. One cp agrees with me that the end felt too rushed, and I couldn’t worked a bit more conflict in until the last minute..or explained the conflict better. Maybe I’ll write an “alternate ending” and post it on the bookpage. Not sure. I’m hoping it’s just typical author insecurity, and readers will love it – or at least don’t hate it.
I finally decided on colors to paint my condo -I’ve been wanting to redo it all for a long time- and picked up some paint to do the main feature wall last night. SO today I managed to aint the trim so I just needed to get the roller and paint the insides…make sense? Yeah, and graceful me, who KNOWS better than to leave an open can of paint on the floor, stumbles, and steps IN the pain can, and spills 2/4 f a gallon of paint on the floor. Yes, I had a drop cloth down. 2 in fact. However, where the can knocked over was the CLOTH one, not the plastic drop sheet, and it soaked throughte material WQUICK, and inow I have some undeniable spots on my carpet. Undeniable RED paint on my tan/cream carpet.
I needed to get a new carpet anyway, but that wasn’t planned to happen until Christmas (Maybe getting wood laminate flooring for christmas) and while I’ll still wait …now I have to look at the red. floor. AT least the red wall will bring out the red in the carpet. *grin* Needless to say, I’m waiting until tomorrow to paint the inside space of that wall, I’m scared to attempt painting more today.
I have to work tonight. I’m hoping I don’t lose my job. The way my days I going, something wierd is gonna happen.
How was your week??
Big plans this weekend?
I can share your pain, things have not been much better for me, I came home the other day to find all my neighbors in my backyard staring at one of my trees that had literally fallen over, from all the water standing. It also took out 2 smaller (not by much) trees and a power pole, that just happens to be across the road. Then ComEd tells me I have to get it off the road so they can put up a new pole…which they will probably charge me for the way my luck is going!
I step in paint every time I do a room, so don’t feel bad!
Just tell anyone who asks that those are the blood spatters from the last person who questioned you.
Fingers crossed thigns go better for you Scarlet!
Jean, I LOVE that! I think I will do exactly that!
Days going well. Didn’t do much. Had a short (SHORT) visit with my aunt and four of her great grandchildren (all under the age of 4) before I beat a hasty retreat home. Gotta go to work where I’ll probably cry because I’ll have 8 free hours and I plan on leaving my Sims game at home. The last time I played was the 15th.
Visiting with family is always good. I’m sorry to say I know nothing about Sims, so I can’t comment,. LOL
