Time for writing

Dear Barb,

Friday, finally! I feel like I've been dragging all through this week. We had everyone over for game two of the world series last night, which was very fun and I finally slept well last night. Today is the end of week one on my new meds (Adderal/Prozac) and I'm beginning to notice some changes. Not huge, but good ones. I am definitely calmer...less jumpy. I'm not sure which med that is, since the Prozac isn't supposed to hit full steam for about four weeks. According to the Today Show this morning, there's a 50% chance that I've been prescribed placebos, but if the mind over matter works just as well as chemicals, I'm good with that. In addition, I'm noticeably less irritable, which is good for everyone around me. :)

Kim, my friend the published author (she signed her contract yesterday) was asking me about my own writing the other day. She asked how far I am in my novel and what my plans are for getting published. As if I really have any. She really wants me to go to a writer's conference with her and have an opportunity to introduce me to people. Wow, she has people. Of couse, I'm flattered. She reads my blog every day and comments on it. Not that she's an expert on writing, just because she's published, but she certainly has more follow-through than I do. I'm thinking of maybe going with her sometime in the spring. Til then, I need to pull out the old draft and start putting aside some time for writing.

That's my goal for this afternoon, while the house is quiet. I have until 3:30 to sit and write before anyone gets home and I have to start doing my real job. I hope your week went well and that you're settling in for nesting this weekend. By the way, how was dinner with C on Thursday? Looking forward to hearing from you later,
Love, A
