Trying to Keep Ahead

I've been here off and on today, trying to keep a little bit ahead without falling too far behind. My notifications have been in the 200+ ballpark. Right now they're hovering around 150. Hopefully, it means I won't see 200 again. I've been trying to write but having a hard time with it. So, I watched a movie, a familiar one, and listened to the dialogue. Now, I'm ready to write again, I hope and not be so critical of my work. I'm my own worst critic. I'm planning to work on a book for the next couple of hours and hope to be back for one last hurrah before I go to bed. It's been a good day, though the one thing I haven't done yet is laundry. No word from my son all week. I told him to call me, so either he worked the whole week or he was super busy on his days off. Tomorrow we're getting into the subzero temps for wind chills and single digits for regular temps. I'm debating whether to turn the heat down tonight when I go to bed, which I normally do. I do have my winter sheets on the bed, so it should be fine. Tuesday we have another round of snow, and this time it will hit Green Bay. We're expecting 4-6 inches depending on which model you look at. The US one has us at 6 inches. I hope so. Right now I'm within 22 hours of notifications, so I hope to be back to clear up the last couple of hours before I go to bed. It's been an active month on myLot to keep my notifications over 200 every day. Enjoy this picture for a possible book cover for Destination Love. Thanks for reading.

Dialogue has been hard for me. My BFF can write it in her sleep. Stay busy.

Dialogue usually isn't hard for me, but lately, I've been questioning my skills.

Creative writing comes out of the unconscious mind,,,have to tap into that to write well

I'm still behind on my notifications, but wanted to hit up a few friends' posts regardless. I hope you're able to get the laundry done soon, and I hope your book is coming along well. We got snow last weekend, but we're getting an icy mix this weekend. Not fun. Stay safe in this crazy weather! I love the picture. :)

I am on today's notifications for the first time this month. I still have over a hundred. I'll get it done tomorrow morning right after the pool. An icy mix is not a good thing. Stay safe. Thank you. I'm considering it for the cover.

@tammys85 I wasn't here yesterday, so they piled up a little. I'm finding the endpoint, so I won't be here all day and can get some book work accomplished.

I'm going right after the pool tomorrow morning. It will be the laundromat. My son called today and told me his day off is Tuesday, and I'm on my last set of clothes, so no can do waiting until Tuesday. Besides, we're getting 6 inches of snow. So the best is to get it done right after the pool. I'll put the clothes in the car when I leave tomorrow morning and I should be home by 10 if I work it right. Hopefully, sooner.

@Courtlynn I will. Nobody said a word about my Frosty the Snowman loungers this morning. They're very comfortable. I do have my thermals on also. It's been subzero today.

@just4him well I'm glad you'll get them done, one way or another. And hopefully you can do them at his house next week, before being on your last outfit.

Listening to movies is a good way to get your dialogue worked out. I'll get the laundry done tomorrow after the pool.

I always start at the bottom and work my way up as those are the oldest. Thank you. It does seem that way. Yes, he called on Sunday.
