I’ve accomplished very little this year as far as writing goes thanks to all of the other things in life I could blame: couponing, blogging, reading, gardening…you know, all those things I’ve been filling up my site with here each and every day.  By the way, my blog post a day is still going strong this year!  I haven’t missed a day yet.

J is out of town this weekend and next to visit family and attend a wedding.  Despite my regular chores this weekend like laundry and grocery shopping, I plan to take full advantage of the alone time, or at least that’s my plan.  Heck, this is Saturday’s post I’m writing and scheduling it on Friday morning!

Last weekend, while I was out of town, I spent the 3 hour drive down there and back doing a lot of thinking, as I always do on long trips.  But, I basically plotted out my entire next novel.  This is a book I’ve mentioned before on here and have been working on – off and on – for the past 5 years.  You might remember a recent post where I mentioned that I was going to change the lead character from male to female.  No sexual reassignment surgeries needed when you are writing!  Ha!

But, I was still having trouble with another character and some scenes I’d written a long time ago which I thought were still crucial to the book.  I also had no idea how the book should end.  A three hour trip to Tennessee cured that.  So, this weekend I’m sitting down and starting over (Again!) from the start.  Wish me luck!

It’s gonna be a mad weekend.

Check back on Monday to see how I did.  I’ll post more about it then.
