horoscopes
Astrology for Writers, Editors and Filmmakers
Aries: mars in your solar third house is a big fat rush of writing energy. stay at your desk long enough to receive the genius. skittish energy can be assuaged with a long walk before the tasks at hand.
This is good to know, because I need a really REALLY big fat rush of writing energy. I might have to glue myself to my desk (well, in this case couch since I can’t write on a desk. never could - even when I was younger, my desk sat unused and I did homework on the bed or the floor. And in front of the TV…I’m seeing a trend here.) but the horoscope’s definitely right in that I have lots of skittish energy that’s leaving me unable to concentrate for long periods of time.
I’m sure I’ll settle down in the next day or so, but for right now, my mind’s running at 100MPH at all times. I’m trying to think about promo and website things and upcoming interviews and new titles and…well, you’re getting the drift, right?
I’m supposed to be working on revisions for the Sydney book (they’re light this time - yay!) and Jake’s book, which I need to finish by March 5th. When I set that deadline a few days ago, I said, to myself, that’s 15 pages a day - you can do that! So, by the end of tonight, I’m supposed to have 30 new pages.
I have five. Four and a half, really, but I played with the spacing. 
Only twenty-five more to go! It’s only 10:30PM - plenty of writing time left…If I get discouraged, I just picture Amy - I know she’s usually up as late as I am writing. That’s oddly comforting come midnight.

leo: mars in your house of cards makes for new entries on your blackberry. all of yours past kindnesses will really pay off if tiffs arise, but that need not be the case. your charm will get you out of any scrapes, but mostly it will bring more charm-ee’s into your fold.
*note to self: buy a blackberry*

Can I still receive the genius if I only have a lapdesk?
What if I leave milk and cookies for it?

Mine basically told me I should get out more. *rolling eyes*

I’m a night time writer too. :) If it comforts you at all, I’m always around way after midnight.

Mine says: “cancer: cancerians unite. joining a writers group and going to conferences is to be looked into. if tickets are offered to any group activity, esp. with other cancers, why stay home? someone will no doubt offer to give you some sort of scholarship, to which you will say yes.”
Okay this is whack!

I’m a late night writer too. I have these two kids who are always hanging around me in the day, demanding things.
Gosh, you’d think I was their mom or something.
I just ordered all of the April Blazes from HQ - I’m hoping they’re in my mailbox today. Can’t wait to read yours!
