Clearing my mind

Saturday mornings is usually reserved for writing my blog post. Yesterday I did my tax instead. My cousin came over, sorted papers and read numbers--in short, he made it easy for me to complete the spreadsheets so I could take it all to my accountant next week. He's a gem.

Now I have one less thing crowding my brain and I can put something else into that priority basket.

Something tells me it had better be my next book. My writing lately has been very patchy. I'm happy with the results, just not the volume. I have two weeks now to spend some quality time with my computer and get something written. I just have to make sure I don't let myself get distracted.

That about sums up my mind lately. It's been very cluttered, a million things tugging at me all at once, and I've struggled to achieve any of them. Getting my tax done is a huge relief. It's one of the big things that bothers me every year at this time.

I have plans during the week to find somewhere quiet that I can be uninterrupted for several hours at a time. That will, hopefully, help me clear the rest of my mind so I can focus on my story again.

Just as an aside: it's only two weeks now until the release of Warrior Pledge. I'm really excited about this one. It's totally different to anything you've seen from me before and has some really fun elements in it: voluntary gender changing, dragons with a sense of humour.
