I’ve managed exactly 1 writing session in the first week of the year. Bad, bad me. But there is a lot of things I’ve got going on and I’m going to try to use the weekend to organize. My weekend tasks can be divided into 3 categories.
Writing-related things I will be doing this weekend:
- Finish reading Part 1 of my NaNoWriMo novel so that I can start transforming it in the my “Rescue” novelette.
- Actually start writing the novelette
- Finish reading the May 1994 Science Fiction Age
- Write my post for the May 1994 Science Fiction Age
- Visit 2 local bookstores in search of more issues of Astounding
- Possibly visit a third bookstore
- Finish preparing for my talk on science fiction for the Arlington Writers Group
Family-related things I will be doing this weekend:
- (Possibly) taking the Little Man to Gymboree
- Chores around the house
- Preparing a dinner or two
- Going to the park, if the weather permits
- Watching Mater/Sponge Bob/Fineas & Ferb/Mickey Mouse Club with the Little Man (over and over and over again)
Miscellaneous things I will be doing this weekend:
- Elliptical machine (x3)
- Either retiring the antediluvian iMac we currently use as a server, or upgrading it to Leopard (ETA: retirement and/or upgrade postponed until next week)
- Start pulling together tax records (most of which are fortunately digitized this year)
- Other tasks as assigned
What I won’t be doing this weekend:
- Getting much rest
Happy Friday!
