Sometimes there isn’t a whole lot to say about a day, especially when it’s not significantly different from any of a dozen others, and when the most exciting thing that happened was when the new edition of the APA Publication Manual arrived in the mail. (Seriously, though, my ordering this was long overdue. We have one copy in the office, luckily on my bookshelf, but also the previous edition.) I did a little work on a theories book in the morning, a little on an art therapy research book in the afternoon, and in the middle I went for a little walk around town. Same old, same old.
I also did a little bit of writing when I got home this evening. All told, I only wrote about 150 words, but that’s actually not half bad for me, and I actually think I like where this story’s going. Maybe it’s partly being inspired by Heather‘s write-up of her ongoing writing residency, and maybe it’s partly getting waist-deep into editing stories for Kaleidotrope, but it’s really nice to want to write. (Though I realize the only way to consistently get and stay there is to write even when I don’t want to.)
Speaking of Kaleidotrope, I’m actually thinking of doing a one-time third yearly issue in July. Right now, the zine comes out in April and October, with #8 and #9 planned for 2010. This would bring me up to an even ten issues (!!!), but it’s mostly because I may have over-accepted and would like to publish some of these stories and poems before 2011. The cost involved, particularly with paying contributors and postage, isn’t a non-issue, but I’m seriously considering it.
And that was my Monday.
