Relaxation
It has been a lovely relaxing weekend because of finishing A LICK OF FROST on Friday afternoon. It meant I could let the writing for the weekend and spend time with the family. Which I have done.
But Sunday afternoon is a special time to relax here. The three of us, Jon, Trinity, and myself each do our own thing, that we consider most relaxing. For Jon and Trin sometimes it’s a computer game, or music to listen to, or video or tivoed show that no one else is that eager to watch. For me, it’s either reading, usually for research. Catching up on all those magazines that keep coming in the mail, or I keep buying at the news stand. But just lately I’ve given myself permission to write on something that I simply want to write on. Not what is due next, but what tickles my fancy.
I know how weird is it that my idea of relaxation is to write something else. I’ve spent the last few years trying to relax the way most people relax and just getting more and more frustrated. So instead of trying to fit myself into a mold that is not me, I’ve embraced what truly makes me happy. One of those things is writing.
Today I worked on the Jason novel/ or novel-lite. I still don’t know which it will be. Which would usually bug me, but seems strangely pleasing to my muse, and me. The uncertainty is oddly relaxing. Not sure why.
Jon and I did some editing on the art for our comic prequel to GUILTY PLEASURES. We also looked over some art for the hardback, or is it trade paperback of the collected first six issues of the Anita comic. We saw some of the colored pages for the intro we did. Very cool.
But all the work we had to do, is done. The work I wanted to do is done. So good night all. Pleasant dreams.
