So I’m being healthy again. No, seriously, I am this time. And I’m making my kid be, too. I joined www.peertrainer.com (OMG I love it, sign up if you haven’t. It’s free!!) I’ve been working out and eating better, and best yet, writing down everything I eat. It’s amazing how writing down everything that goes into your mouth can inspire you to put less in it, and better things at that.
Okay, so I have this book, this book I cannot wait to target to NY. It’s my contemporary romance that is not erotic. It does have some spicy love scenes (not as many and not as hot as my erotic stuff), but it’s definitely not getting tagged at erotic. This book is my baby, my project I’ve been working on for two years. TWO YEARS. I put it down when I was halfway done because I got into writing for the erotic market.
Anyway, I finished up projects I’d committed elsewhere and decided to hardcore focus on this book. I’m really trying to meet my 1k a day minimum and having been doing pretty good. I’m just under 30k from being done, so I could have this sucker done in a month. Which is great because I fully intend to pitch it at the Seattle conference.
You know what really gets me writing at night? Even when I’m sluggish, or would rather just surf Ebay again and chat on Yahoo. I pull up my playlist and close out of my internet browsers. But the playlist, I swear it’s like someone hit the on switch for my writer mode. I hear the first song The Lucky One by Alison Krauss and I am off like freaking Seabiscuit!!
Here’s thirteen other songs (ha, look at me turning this post into a TT!) on my playlist. Obviously I like a little of everything. What’s on yours?
- Crush, Dave Matthews
- Before he Cheats, Carrie Underwood
- Everybody look what’s going down, Buffalo Springfield
- Cowboy take me away, Dixie Chicks
- Time to say goodbye, Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli
- Dream a little Dream of me, Carly Simon
- Sympathique, Pink Martini
- Teach your children well, Crosby, Stills and Nash
- Oranoco Flow, Enya
- Amarillo Sky, Jason Aldean
- Feels like home to me, Bonnie Rait
