I did put in a lot of work this week, all of which counts. It's just that I said to my self, "Gee, Self, you have to get these books edited and uploaded, and all that artwork to do, so pull back on that blogging. You've got lots of posts in the can. Oh, look, there's a perfectly fine one right there for next week. Hey, and there's another one for Friday Favorites. Go for it!"
And then I proceeded to spend all of Friday and Saturday writing more blog posts. Including a post which requires an infographic. (Just what I need, more art to do!)
Still, the ebook of Misplaced Hero only needs a cover and a little work. Test of Freedom is giving me fits because I keep intending to do simple artwork -- to actually cut back seriously on the artwork -- and I ended up with something more complicated. Also, I hate the colors. I'll talk more about that on Tuesday.
Oh, and my brain started working on book three of Starling and Marquette. (The Man Who Ran Away) Book two isn't even on the schedule for serious work until January. The thing that got me thinking about it, is one of the things that spawned new blog post ideas. And those aren't even the posts I worked on the past few days.
What is it with these muses?

The goal is 20 hours a week, or 1200. Well, at least that was a win.

Sounds like the proverbial muse was in a serious creative mood all together. I can't blame her though. Planning, Blogging and artwork is much more fun that doing edits. hehe.
Yeah, funny how that works.
Wow, you got a lot done! Nice work! What did you do to attract so many muses? ;)
Glad to meet you fellow Row80er!
Thanks, Jae!
As for attracting muses, you'll find that they are like stray cats. If you stick around and feed them long enough, you won't be able to get them.
Wow! Your muses were having a banquet!
Congratulations on all you accomplished!
Thanks, Shan!
