On Monday, I meant to write a blog post. But I decided it needed a picture to go with it, so I got my camera out. Playing with my camera was so fully distracting that I never got around to the writing.
On Tuesday, I meant to write a blog post. But I’m using Freedom, an app to block my internet access, and I forgot to enable web exceptions, which meant I didn’t have access to my own website. Oops.
On Wednesday, I meant to write a blog post. But I started reading Debra Dunbar’s Imp series, quite casually — you know, just a quick hour of reading before I started my day — and I … just didn’t stop. Ten books in the series, and I kept going until I was finished.
On Thursday, I meant to write a blog post, but I was still busy reading books with demons and angels in them.
Today is Friday. I cleaned the van, washed and refilled my water jugs, dumped the tanks, refilled the propane, did my grocery shopping for the week, picked up the mail, and now I am finally writing a blog post. Mostly just so I can resist the temptation to keep binge-reading, though. My two days of reading have put me well behind on what I am supposed to be doing, aka writing a book. Speaking of which… I believe it’s time to get back to that. I’m still hoping to finish writing by the end of the month, but my daily word count goal is growing by the day. Despite all that I have already achieved today, I’d really like today to be a day that makes my word count lower instead of higher, which means it’s time to focus on Fen.
Best laid plans are often set aside! Instead of turning on Netflix last night, I turned on Pandora and got my relaxation channel on. I sat down on the couch with my Kindle and read — Hubby joined me and we eventually changed the station to his favorite genre, Rock & Roll, but I read on until it was time for bed. A very enjoyable evening, although the original plan was to do our usual NetFlix movie and then to bed! As I said, ‘Best laid plans are often set aside’ and we didn’t mind it a bit!
It was honestly really nice to just live in someone else’s world for a couple days. And binge reading never feels as unhealthy as binge television watching or binge video game playing.
Hi Sarah, I started the Imp series, just made it thru book one. It is really good. Carol
I enjoyed it! She’s a great main character. About book 5-6, I was not so happy, but it picks up again and ends well. I didn’t like her Half-Breed series nearly as much, but I mostly enjoyed the werewolves in Alaska. Sam was definitely my favorite character, though.
