Right now, I am...
seeing :: piles of paper, notes, and photographs....and ultimately the finish line! This manuscript is all but 'done', but I've come to learn (this third time around) that I will use every last second possible to tweak and edit. I've also come to really love this part of the process - when it all comes together, and I linger on the details one last time before letting it go. (Remembering to wander helps.)
listening :: to She & Him Volume II and The Avett Brothers I and Love and You, evenly alternated through the course of my day. Good music is essential.
eating :: green smoothies, peanut butter toast, and chocolate. All day long. It's a semi-balanced diet that works just fine. For now.
feeling :: grateful for my rockstar of a husband, who is keeping us all fed, clothed, and happy while Mama keeps working. Not to mention building a new sandbox for the kids amidst it all, painting furniture because I asked very nicely, and editing his own work in this book to boot. Can you see why I didn't ask him to step in as my guest blogger as he usually does? He would have done it, though, he's pretty swell like that.
thinking :: I need to step away from this space just for the next two days. I'll be back on Friday with {this moment}, and with my third book out the door!
anticipating :: some celebrating in honor of that. Oh, yes.
I'll see you here on Friday!
