Heir To Magic

I’ve got another 398 words added to my novel.  It was not really that hard, hardest part was staying awake to write.  And no, it was not because it was boring, it was because I was sitting in a doctor’s office waiting for the doctor to see my dad.  My dad had an appointment to see his doctor yesterday and I went in with him, taking along my little laptop.  As I waited with him for his turn to see the doctor I worked on my novel.  It was around 8 p.m., so me and him were both feeling a little sleepy.  I did manage to get another nearly 400 words added to the novel though, so I am really happy about that.  And the scene I was working on is one that I can easily pick up and keep working on, so I am happy about that as well.  Looking forward to adding another 100 or so words to my novel this afternoon or evening.

It seems like every time I get a few minutes to work on my novel, I fall asleep.  Last night a friend of mine was talking about how she was going to work on her novel in a notebook for a few minutes before she went to bed, and I actually felt envious of her.  I still had half an hour of work to get done on other things and was already drifting off to sleep.  Oh how I would love to get some work done on my novel.

I’m just going to have to take back my writing time.  I mean, sheeesh! I wrote an entire 80,000+ word novel in under 30 days once, surely I can find the time to write 300 words on my novel each week throughout this year, right?

And here I am supposed to write the first chapter of another novel to boot – I ain’t even had a chance to outline that novel.

So, I am going to see what I can do about reorganizing my work and reclaiming a hour each night in which I work on Heir to  Magic.  We’ll see how that works out, I might not get an hour every night, but I might get one hour a week.
