Ended up having the afternoon off work. Not really because of any holiday or summer hours or anything. Came home and all I wanted to do was try to get a little sleep to get rid of this pounding headache. Anyway...it was so wonderful to have the afternoon off. It's like playing hookey from high school almost. I need to do this more often.
Anyway, yes, I did get some writing done. I've started work on a new idea I've had for some time that takes place here in DC. Good news is if I need to do any research, I can take a quick walk around the block and check out any bars or restaurants easily. I won't have to spend a hurried work-filled two weeks on the other side of the world trying to take everything in.
This one is also a lot lighter in that it's not about any newsworthy tragedies. Should be more fun to write as there are quite a few scenes in my other novel that are so emotionally draining! The first time I wrote this funeral scene took a whole Saturday, and that was one of the longest and most depressed Saturdays I've ever had.
Oh well. You gotta suffer for your art, right?
Really looking forward to working on this and of course to finish editing my other novel.
