I never really had a plan for today. Last night was payday so I paid the bills. I also ordered cover art for Once Upon a Time in the Swamp. There are so many new publications right now I’m hoping May will be a good time for a release.
I started a new project involving my space trilogy. It only came to about two pages, but I’m still getting reacquainted with the characters. They need to go on a quest into unclaimed territory and it’s a little different than the civilized parts of the galaxy.
I scheduled the third part of my creature creation series for Story Empire. It will go live later this month and involves those creatures who may be a little more like us. Those that need some culture and societal background to them.
Then I hacked out a bit of a post for Story Empire for sometime down the road. I like to get a few notes down early, because I occasionally struggle for ideas over there.
I also started reading a book of short stories and got three of those under my belt. Good stuff, but I have to balance this stuff out with everything else. I love short fiction for this reason.
Later today we’re taking my truck in for regular service, then I promised Old What’s Her Face we could have date night. It looks like I’m not going to kill it with word count, but it all counts as progress. As far as date night and trucks, that counts in a different way. Might manage a few more words tomorrow.
Date night sounds like a great distraction to me. Hope it was awesome!

Should be a fun challenge for your characters. No handy space stations to refuel and get supplies. Plus, what is the space isn’t as unclaimed as they think?

There will be beings there and they generally don’t have to refuel. Still need to take on food and water.

A date night really counts, and in the grand scheme of things, it tops the list. 😊

We did a night out with family last night–drinks, appetizers, and dinner. Today, I’m going to start a new writing project. Or at least that’s the plan.
Hope your day is a good one today!

Can’t kill the word count every day, Craig. Date nights and trucks count too. 😀

That was the entire extent of my author effort. I didn’t get anything accomplished on Sunday. There’s always another weekend.

We had a good time, but I never got anything else accomplished. At least cover art is in the works.

It can’t all be about word count. Cover art is coming and we had nice evening.
