I'm here in Modesto CA (not far from Yosemite) because my son has a soccer tournament here this weekend. They won this morning's game and have 2 tomorrow. I'm exhausted right now. I've worked a little on revising my outline for Magellan's Witch, I can see things are lined up better now and I have a place to go forward to, as it were. But now I'm so tired I can hardly think. Thursday I was up until 11:30 pm writing a blog post for Magical Musings. It took me until then to figure out what to write, which ended up being about where and how to start a novel. It's a subject I think I'll expand on and add to my website later. At any rate, I had to get up an 4:30 am for work, then take my son to a soccer game then leave for Modesto. I still have sleep to catch up on, which is why I'm dragging badly now. Also sadly, I have to work Monday so no sleeping in. Drats.

I'm going to try to get something done with my chapter 10. In a bit I expect we'll be heading the kids out to dinner. Tomorrow morning's game is at 8:00 am. Modesto is in Central California and there's actual weather here. The low is 29 deg tomorrow, so it's going to be freaking cold for this N Cal girl.

Off to see if my brain can write OK.
