When It Rains, It Pours

So, I signed up for NaNoWriMo. I'm totally stoked and the fires are burning, the kettle on the back burner is starting to steam. I've told my husband about my goal and he's on my side. It's gonna be good.

And then, the other day I get a notice in my email - a huge order (well, huge for me) for workbooks! Wonderful! So I spend an entire day putting those together. I can't have them professionaly bound, no one will put the rings on them that they are designed to have, so I print and compile them myself. I don't mind, it's not a gigantic amount of work, but it does take time.

Just finished those up last night and the neighbors come knocking on my door. We share a common interest in the Renaissance, and they asked if I could design/sew a tunic for him - and they need it by tomorrow afternoon. Of course I jumped at the chance, I love to sew as much as I love to write!

It never ceases to astound me how it's never one thing at a time. Oh, I don't mind, I love to be busy, and the timing isn't particularly bad. It's just that it seems to be feast or famine. I guess it's my turn for feasting...

Will somebody pass the salt, please?

I'm so glad you're getting orders for the workbooks. YAY!

I'd say feast is much better then famine. :)

Ooooh, good luck on the NaNoWriMo. I'm still trying to decide if I'm doing it. You'll have to keep us posted on your progress!

You have a love for the Renaissance?!? Where have you been all my life? Oh, I'm totally stalking you.

Hooray for the feasting! (Loved how you tied in the salt with the rain comment. ;) )

I'm doing Nano too, with just a bit of trepidation. Glad your books are doing well. I finally posted my review.
