My bed calleth

but I pay it no heed.

I haven't had a chance to work on any fiction writing today, what with preparing to pick up the sales reins at ChartedCourse for a few days. Ronnie's headed out of town for a few days, so I have to keep our momentum building. More to worry about.

Anyway, I did do writing for ChartedCourse today. Actually quite a lot. It's just not fiction writing.

I also finally finished 1776 by David McCullough. A remarkable, moving read. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading, history, or simply wants to be entertained. It is a singular reading experience.

I'll add it to my list of recommended books on this site.

But now I'm paying heed to the call of the bed, so off I go.

Just stopping by on my way...

... to Mars. I currently have 4212 words in The Mars Betrayal and will shoot for 5500 before I finish this session in about an hour and a half. My goal for the day is to get to 6000.

I am going to write without my internal editor shouting at me but will try to simply tell the story.

Incidentally, Annemarie read Janette Rallison's book: Fame, Glory and Other Things on My To-Do List. She liked it, so I have added it to my reading list, although I need to finish 1776 and a C.S. Lewis book first. 1776 is a great book.

I have to go, but I will report back later on whether I hit my goals. I plan to send in a chapter or two to my editor at the end of this week.

That's all for now.
