Ok, I don’t but Blackadder was in my head and… well, what other reason need there be.
I can officially say that this week was one I cannot wait to forget. I worked approximately 60 hours in the office, including every night baring last night until approx 23.30. Yet event hen I got nowhere near through the to-do list I was given. This was in no small part due to me being too nice and offering too much of my time to helping other colleagues. Partly because I am too stubborn to admit defeat and ask for help, choosing to struggle along and risk drowning. The main reason however if because there is just a metric crap load of work that needs to be done, and just not enough hours in the day to do so, especially when a lot of time is lost trying to figure our and report the never-ending list of ‘bugs’in the system.
In short, I had a week that stressed me out to the point of breaking. Especially when coupled with the fact that I had a three-day free book promotion campaign to organize that ran from Tuesday until the end of Thursday. This added extra stress to me, but somehow I managed to still get all of my promotions done and still find time to spend every moment I could with my kids and sit with my wife and watch a bit of TV in the evenings.
Sadly to ay however, I have only managed to edit three paragraphs all week. I did get some reading done, and have almost finished ‘I Am Legend’ which I have enjoyed very much until now.
I am definitely going to get back to editing tonight, and only 28 pages left until this WIP is finished. So I have no reason to panic, it is just that I am itching to start writing something new while this novel is being ripped apart … read by my Beta readers.
I hope therefore to have more to report at the next check-in. Perhaps even the happy announcement that I am finished.
I also plan to get back to blogging, having all but neglected my blog for the past two weeks. Ever since we moved in fact. While I don’t see work settling down any time soon, the house is now finally feeling like home, and I am adjusting to the ‘quirks’of an older house etc, and I hope to finally start settling back into my rhythm with regards waking early to write before work.
Until next time, happy writing everybody and I hope you are all exceeding the goals you have set yourself for this round.

Perhaps you should study Time Mgmt.????
In any event, perhaps following the advice of the biblical Jethro to Moses; and followed assiduously by the late Ronald Reagan. DELEGATE, DELEGATE, DELEGATE!!!!!
Doable???

Delegation is a great thing, the only problem I found in this job was that when I delegate nobody did the work and it still ended up my fault. Luckily, it isn’t always like this so I hope things will start to quiet down a little bit from now on. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
