The weekend

I feel like I lost a little momentum this weekend. I'm not going to look at it that way, however. I indulged in a little extracurricular sleeping two days in a row. That's something I don't do nearly enough of these days. Then I followed that up with full eight-hour days at work. Saturday I came home and played a game with the family, had a family meal (tacos!), and watched a family movie (Spiderman 2). Today I came home and mostly vegged, but spent some quality time cuddling with the kids and just hanging out. Little boy fell asleep in my arms... that's always worth it. It won't be long before he's just too big for that.

So like I said, I'm not going to look at it as a loss of momentum, but rather a gearing up for the final stretch. I'm so close that I just know it's going to happen. I'm going to finish a novel! And it's going to be readable (at least mostly) at that! The whole thing is right here in my head. I just have to keep pulling it out, word by word. I barely even have any questions left. It's just a matter of making it happen.

Perhaps I'm a little behind the Jennifer Weiner curve (she's my age and already has three books published), but I'm still a little ahead of the Amy Tan curve (she was 37 when her first novel was published).

So... here's to an early and productive Monday morning.
