Somewhere Over the Sun

Sunrise

I woke up at 6:30 this morning. It marked the first time in three days that the sun beat me to wakefulness. So, I failed at my mission. My goal was to get all four sunrises, all four sunsets. My question is, if my body wanted to ignore the four alarms I set, why not let me sleep a few more hours?

Anyway, this isn’t such a bad thing to fail at. No repercussions, no penalties. No one dies or loses a home or gets slapped on the wrist. My pride isn’t even really damaged. The sun will rise again. For at least the next few days, I think I’ll skip it. But I’ll be back someday.

Sunset

More of the same. Family dinner at 7:15, right at sunset’s climax. I missed out, and I’m okay with that.

Boo.

You guys failed, unless you come up with 85 likes in the next 50 minutes. Oh well! Your loss, guys. This way you have to wait until the book’s out in November. Speaking of which, we’re one step closer to that happening, as I completed revisions earlier this evening.

I will have a guest post on Write Words later on this week, and will start seriously working on book number two tomorrow. My goal is 500 words a day to start off with, which is a little lower than the 1,100 clip I was writing at for Somewhere Over the Sun. This way it leaves me a little time to work on promoting the novel.

Cheers!
