Blankety-blank-blank

A good friend of mine sent me a meme this week, which was excellent timing since I don’t have a lot of time to write at the moment.  Well I do, actually, I’ve just allocated it to writing elsewhere.  I am back at work on the book.

I’m calling it the book now, because the other one?  Is crap.  I’m not happy with the direction it took, and I don’t have the required amount of editing in me right now.

I’m officially throwing in the towel and starting over.

Not completely over, just starting to work on something that I’ve had in my head for years now, but never put on paper.  I’d planned on waiting until November for NaNoWriMo, but seeing as how procrastination has gotten me only to where – well, nowhere – I’ve decided not to delay.

Cross your fingers this one isn’t crap too!

I’ve carried it with me for quite a long time, too afraid to do anything with it.  This was the week I took the plunge.

So back to the meme.  It’s a fill-in-the-blanks, which is exactly what I can find the time for.  Play along? Please feel free to snag, and let me know if you post so I can read your answers, as well.
