Researching (agents and editors. again. forever.)
Reading (chaim potok. oh,chaim. i lurrrrve you so.)
Walking (kids to bus stops, around blocks, around lakes, around neighborhoods, around farms.)
Eating (mostly plants up till dinner time. need to find me a butter plant. coconut oil may replace butter. or not.)
Setting Aside (the zero-draft manuscript [fifth gift] for a week before i start the actual revision process)
Opening (files of other set-aside manuscripts. anything ready to try submitting again? maybe.)
Laundering (natch.)
Shopping (for christmas. just a little. first box arrived last week. tee hee.)
Craving (a part in a musical. we saw “joseph” this weekend and it makes me want to audition for “thoroughly modern millie” next week.)
Weeding (oh, wow — i found my rock wall. *that’s* where it’s been hiding all summer.)
**What’s going on with you?**
What a lovely catch-up post. I feel like we just sat down and had a nice chat.
Me: School starting, middle child to kindergarten, sudden surplus of kid-free time during youngest child’s nap. Thoughts of drafting again – craving something new. Waiting to hear back on manuscripts that have been submitted, still clinging to hope but resigned to the need for more revisions. Burgeoning belly – regular clothes too small, maternity clothes too big. Lots of happy. =)

I wish I knew how you had the time to be in play’s with your kids in all their various activities. I grew up as a theatre brat and loved every second. Haven’t been in a single play since high school and I don’t see an end in sight ever.
Good look writing and querying. Fingers crossed.

Well, I took my own kids to school! How cool is that?!?
And then, well, time to focus. On writing.
Good luck with yours!

Emptying boxes and nests, mostly. Doing a little writing, just to keep my fingers limber. Someday, I’ll get into a rhythm.

So excited to hear how the submissions go.
