Sorry if anyone had difficulties viewing the blog today.  For awhile, it wouldn’t display at all; then it displayed goofy SQL error messages.  Thank God for Google.    I kept repairing MySQL database and finally the one table resolved itself.  Everything should be back now!

Well, I have to admit that last week was mostly a bust.  With a sick kid most of the week, I got really ran down.  There’s only so many nights I can sit up with MM from 3:00 a.m. dozing in a chair and get up to work all day without collapsing myself.  Everything caught up with me yesterday, and I spent Mother’s Day with a terrible headache and upset stomach that’s still bothering me.  I only had two cups of coffee all day yesterday, if that tells you anything.  Not even a whole cup yet this morning and I’ve been up since 5:30 a.m. 

Yet I did manage to get preliminary plotting finished on The Fire Within.  I have character names, now, and ran through Storycard Archetypes for both.  This morning, I started Emotional Toolbox work.  By the end of this week, I’ll be writing the first draft.  I wanted the first draft completed this month, but I don’t know that it’s possible at this point.

I hope your week was more productive than mine!  Redoubling efforts this week myself to catch up.
