Matutinal Monday

matutinal ~ of, like or pertaining to the morning; happening early in the day

How was everyone’s long weekend? I don’t know about where you live, but where I am we had record breaking temperatures all weekend. It was amazing! People coming out of hibernation, peeling off layers of outerwear; lawns getting raked and gardens getting uncovered. The cats are happy campers because I’ve had the windows open for the last few days (although last night I had to close them ‘cause the temperature dipped down again).

I got a lot accomplished during my long weekend, but only some of it was writing. One thing I did notice was that I got more writing done sitting at my desk in my office instead of sitting in front of the television. ;-)

Got my all my regular posts written and up last week, although Friday’s post was slightly delayed as I struggled over just how graphic to make it. I’m finding there are a lot of things I’d like to change when I get the Space Opera into edits, and this scene is one of them.

The cutting myself off from games didn’t go as well as I expected, I still have a serious problem with Mahjong Connect. If anyone else would like to give it a try, you can find it HERE. It will provide hours of mindless fun.

Friday, I managed to get some editing done before the kids came over to help rake the yard. We’ve got a really big yard and can use all the help we can get. Saturday I spent a lot of time working refining my database and entering more books into it. Okay, I also spent a lot of time skimming through a few books I’d forgotten about, which is why I didn’t get any writing done. Though I did start reading one of the new books I bought for myself as an Easter present.

Sunday I surfed for subjects for my middle of the week posts and got some editing done. Then late in the day I suddenly remembered it was the fourth and today was the Behind the Headlines Blogfest. Naturally I ended up spending an obscene amount of time searching for my headline. Hopefully, I’ll get the actually story written either today or tomorrow.

This Week:

Tuesday: Part X of my Fortune Telling Series will be the art of Graphology. Hopefully I can pare down all the information I found regarding it to a manageable amount.
Wednesday: Something humourous of course. I have no idea what yet.
Thursday: This week’s Passion for Poetry will explore the Bref Double. Don’t forget folks, this is National Poetry Month. If you want to have some fun with poetry, have a go at the PAD Challenge (poem a day).
Friday: Chapter 34 of Space Opera. Will I allow Chaney and Nakeisha time to bask in the afterglow, or will I throw something bad at them before they can even catch their breath?

Elsewhere in my week:

Tuesday night I’m going to go Clash of the Titans with a friend to see how it compares with the original version and Wednesday I have a Scribes meeting (which should have been tonight but the library we meet at is closed for Easter Monday).

I’m thinking it might be a smart move to not only figure out what I’m posting (for the week to come) on the weekends, but write the actual posts too. This way all I have to do is schedule the posts for the appropriate time and weeknights would be available for other writing.

Too bad I didn’t think of that at the beginning of the weekend instead of the end. ;-)

And that’s pretty much it for my week. How about you? What are you up to?
