Celebrate The Wagon and the Road.

I fell off the Revision Wagon.  I was forging along, but as I started my 6th day of revising the same 2000 words -- and didn't like them any more than I did 6 days ago -- I was getting kinda bummed.  

Then "The Color Purple" came on TV, so yeah, I watched it.  (And cried my eyes out -- dang that's a great movie!)  Plus, I did my IWSG post for next week.  

Then, I girded my loins, went back to revising the chapter, and changed its first paragraph for the 100th time...  

But a little later, "Saving Private Ryan" came on.  I didn't mean to watch it, but it sucked me in. *cue more crying*  (When Tom Hanks does the monologue when he admits to being a teacher and says that every time he kills someone, he feels further away from home ... Wow! That's writing!)

(I didn't realize both those movies were produced and directed by Steven Spielberg.  Oh, for a smidgen of his talent...)

So I got almost nothing done today, but I'm OK with it.  Sometimes, you need to get off the wagon and walk the road.

This week I'm celebrating enjoying walking the road for a while. Time enough to climb back on the wagon for more revising over the weekend.  :)


When you fall off the Revision Wagon, do you get angry with yourself?  Or do you just chill out and enjoy walking on the road for a while?

Reborn Blog Tour & Giveaway & Celebrate

Reborn Blog Tour

Are you ready to challenge Fate?

To save a kingdom, a prophetess must challenge Fate.

On the day of Yssa’s death and rebirth, the god Apenth chose her as the Phoenix Prophetess.

Sea serpents and gods endanger the young prophetess’s journey and sour the omens. Yssa is cursed instead of blessed, and her duties at the Temple of Apenth prove it. She spends her days reading dusty scrolls, which does nothing to help her forget Tym, the boy back home. But the annoying yet gorgeous ferryman’s son Liam proves to be a distraction she can’t predict, even though he rarely leaves her alone for two sand grains.

Her boring temple life screeches to a halt when visions of her parents’ murders consume her. Yssa races across an ocean to stop the future. If she can’t change Fate, she’ll refuse to be the Phoenix Prophetess any longer. Fate, however, has other plans for her and the kingdom.

Yssa must either accept her destiny or fight to change Fate.

CELEBRATE THE SMALL THINGS

My apologies to those bloggers I haven't visited recently and for blog posts I've missed (like IWSG).  It started almost two weeks ago when instead of celebrating my birthday for a week, I was laid low by heat exhaustion, including vertigo and other symptoms too gross to mention.  I'm doing a bit better now, but still not 100%...

This week I'm celebrating:
1) I may be sick but I'm STILL ALIVE!!  And I hope to be back to normal by July ... except that July and Aug are the hottest months in Egypt.  Argh.
2) Writer extraordinaire Dianne Salerni interviewed me on her blog: Soul Cutter: Interview with Lexa Cain. Please stop by and said hi.
3) I'm also celebrating the release of REBORN. Congratulations Cherie Reich!

My fav season is fall.  My least fav is summer.  (Too darn HOT!!) What are your fav and least fav seasons?
