I knew him once, when he was asleep

Blogging every day hasn’t really worked out this week.

I blame this on the kidlet, who seems to have entered the territory of beginning to phase out his daytime sleep.  Which means that we’re feeling out a new schedule.  At the moment, I’m still putting him down at his usual time, at which time he’ll protest a bit, go quiet for maybe 15-30 minutes (during which time I presume he’s sleeping) and then protest very loudly until I come and get him.  Only a few weeks ago he was doing 2-3 hour naps.  I actually look forward to him dropping the nap, because it will make our days easier.  Not having to be home for that nap every day = glorious.

I have been writing, averaging about 1,100-1,200 words per day on Ghosts.  Unless I get a massive spurt of concentration today, I don’t think I’ll have the draft done before the weekend.  I need to practice writing to deadlines, I think.  And find a way to eke out more writing time when my brain is working.

I really envy people who can use their evenings for writing.  My brain pretty much only works well for creative writing in the morning and early afternoon.  After that, I’m useless for creativity.  I can read in the afternoon, and critique (when I’m not dealing with a kid, of course).  The evenings are pretty much a loss for anything but messing around on the net and watching television.  Still, I know the way my brain works, and that’s a start.

One card draw

I am going to be doing a one card draw again.

Comment if you'd like a card, with a specific question if you like.

I am going to pick one person at random for a full reading - scratch that, I am going to pick two people, since I didn't do a full reading from the last draw (due to livejournal being up and down like crazy during that one).

This post will be open at least for all of today, maybe longer. Feel free to pimp out anywhere you like :)

And because I know some people like donating:
