I found this post... Bernadette Gardner: The Slush Pile of Life It got me thinking of what my slush pile is.
I have a pile of manuscripts waiting in unfinished files on my computer's harddrive. I've had the second book that comes after Starlit Destiny "done" for quite awhile, but I get distracted fairly easily on other projects. Well, I also get distracted over tackling the editing process because I still find it difficult to cut scenes I love but don't necessarily move the story forward. Last month and earlier this I was just plain-old distracted sleeping as often as possible when I was working long hours. Anyway, did I open the files yesterday and work on that story? No. What was I doing? Working on the wireless router and adapter again! That's a long story.
I have even more ideas for manuscripts sitting in unfinished piles in my head. I see some of the epublished authors who are so prolific, but I just can't get all the ideas out fast enough.
I have a pile of receipts for my new computer waiting to be sent in for a $250 rebate. That's significant enough I shouldn't leave it on the slush pile that long. My last computer I missed out on a few hundred bucks because I'm typically very bad with stuff like that.

Thanks for linking to me! :)
ReplyDeleteI just spent my evening setting up an aquarium for two goldfish. Now I'm too pooped to write. I'll probably veg on the couch tonight. Haven't touched my slush pile. Don't plan to. ;)
You bought your present to yourself! Cool.
ReplyDeleteYep. I got my fish. Bought a fish bowl. Broke the bowl while cleaning it. Put poor little fish in two small bowls while I went out to get a bigger bowl, put them in that bowl, then DH took me out to buy small aquarium. Fish are finally happy. I'm exhausted. Shoulda' bought a picture of a goldfish instead. LOL.
ReplyDeleteSend those rebates IN! They give em out expecting folks to not send them! I got 200 back on my laptop.
ReplyDeleteI've been real bad about my slush pile this week...er month *sigh*
Bernadette - Sounds like the last time I went goldfish bowl hunting too!
ReplyDeleteCeCe - Half way there. I have the stuff copied and ready to stuff in an envelop.
