What I’m Reading

I’m still powering my way through the beta reading queue, and feeling lucky to know so many talented writers.

What I’m Writing

I finished my CampNaNo deadline last week with hopes of just collapsing in a pile of worn-out Emmaness, I have done a lot of collapsing in worn-out heaps, mostly due to my recent acquisition of a chest cold, but I’ve still been writing at a steady pace.

This month’s goal is a relaxed 20k, and I’m at 6k so far.

Right now I’m rewriting the ending of ALL THE BROKEN THINGS. Ending rewrites are simultaneously the hardest thing and the most rewarding thing.

I’m looking forward to getting back to work just after I hit ‘publish’ on this post!

What Inspires Me

Sleep. Sleep inspires me.

I LOVE SLEEP, you guys. And I will never get enough of it.

What Else I’ve Been Up To

Driving is still going well! I babble about it over on Twitter on the actual driving days, but in short: nobody has died. This is the most important thing. And my driving confidence is slowly but steadily rising. I can now do things that would previously seem unthinkable: driving at 60mph! Tackling roundabouts! Traffic lights! Fixing problems like the wrong gear choice without panicking and stalling!

Dave and I also took Mac swimming by the beach last night, so have some gratuitous photos of our Labrador enjoying a nice evening.

I hope your week has been going well and continues going awesomely.  I’m looking forward to hopping around everyone’s blogs today!
