Last week was extremely busy, and this coming weekend is going to be even more so. Despite all the craziness--mostly involving the dentist, a Girl Scout Thinking Day costume, a belly dance performance and a contest submission--I did manage to get another scene written for Shifts last week. I'm going to work on the next scene a little tonight, though the cold I caught isn't helping matters.
I remember one time I was so miserable with a cold, I wrote a cold into the manuscript--infected one of my characters just for...I don't know...spite, maybe. But a cold doesn't fit into any part of the scene I'm writing now, so even if misery loves company, I won't have any this time around.
At least after this weekend, the kids' piano Festival will be over for another year, as will my younger daughter's Irish Dance recital. Maybe after this weekend, I can make up for some lost time--though as the contest submission was for a writers' contest, I can't exactly say that I made zero progress this last week-and-a-half.

I'll keep the name of the contest secret just long enough for the finalists to be announced (sometime in the next few weeks, I think), just in case one of the judges Googles the organization name, stumbles across the reference to it in this blog, and happens to notice the name of my book. (grin) I promise to tell later, though....
If your daughter's in Irish dance too, then I guess you'll probably be as frantically busy over St. Patrick's Day as we will....
Well no... St Pat's is celebrated with green beer in the local pub but that is about all in our small community.
The irish dancing she does is at school as an extraciricular activity, Thursday lunchtime. But she did do an exam by a fellow who came over from ireland to test them, which I thought was good.
She enjoys it.
Ciao

Sounds like a great program; I'm glad she enjoys it. It must be great not to have to rush around all day on St. Pat's. Sometimes I dread March, because it's too hectic. Oh, well. It is what it is....
