As I suggested in my last update, my writing schedule was very casual this week. Taking breaks is good for everyone after all. However, I did imagine that I would work a little here and there on the next manuscript I had sketched out.
Of course the best laid schemes of mice and men…
Instead of continuing to lazily draft my current work in progress, my brain decided it would be a good idea to start a draft of another book. So now I have started two potential first drafts of very different stories that are currently close to the same length. Sometime within the next week, I’ll have to decide what I want to do about that, if I want to let one of the drafts wait, or if I want to work on the two simultaneously.
At least I will get to start 2017 with options.
Regardless, I hope that you all have a happy New Year as well and celebrate in whatever way works for you! (A local brewery is hosting a dog friendly party that I may end up going to, but we shall see.)
Sounds wonderful! A Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year to you and yours. ♥

Where would we be without spontaneous inspiration? Good luck with your choice! By the way, any party with “dog friendly” in the title sounds worth a shot, at least to an overly enthusiastic dog lover like myself. Happy New Year!

You’re right about the inspiration bit!
And Doggie New Year’s was filled with wagging tails and fluffy ears, so I couldn’t have asked for much more.
