Writing taking a hit

I am up and down this summer. Summer is my big writing season. For some reason, when it’s warm and green out, I get more writing done.

Not this year.

I’ve been writing in fits and starts. And now I’m behind on my JULY newsletter! Whooops. I might just skip it this month because of the whole nightmare of renovations happening.

My mind seems to be on what I need to buy, what I need to do, what am I forgetting, etc. Every day. I feel like if I don’t do some things on my list today, I will be mad at myself in two weeks when the deadline approaches. I don’t want to be painting frantically at midnight or cleaning windows at 5 am. No thanks.

So I try to do something every day.

Problem is, my husband is the exact opposite. He likes to work in long stretches under pressure. He waits and waits and waits until it almost drives me bananas! I think, gee, you could be installing a light today or putting up trim. But he doesn’t see it that way. I have to wait until he feels the need to work, which can really add to my stress.

Sigh.

Today is more painting. I am trying to finish up a cabinet project I gave myself. A couple more layers of paint, and it should be done. I hope. The coverage is not what I wanted. And I think I probably should have done a better job with the primer coat. Whoops.

On another note, I don’t think SNOWDRIFT is going to show up this week on Fictionwise. Guess I’ll look again next Monday afternoon. Sometimes there is a delay in uploading…who knows why. I’ll definitely post a link once it’s up there.
