Two Sentence Tuesday

I have no brain this week at all. This past weekend I had one of my three-day trade shows, and I am completely shot. (Most of my shows are two days, I have two three-days and two one-day shows every year, both of which are a drain, though for different reasons.)

So my two sentences reflect my lack of brain, being trivial in the extreme. But I find myself focusing more on trivialities these days!

“If I get the ones I usually wear,” she explained, “I don’t need to try them on. We can just buy them and go.”

And two -- well, three -- sentences I read this week that I printed out and pasted in the front of my notebook, from Jessica Faust's blog:

Think of always moving your career forward. Don’t get stuck working for years on the same book or the same series. If you truly want a publishing career, and not just to write books, you need to be in search of the next thing.

Jessica is talking about books and series, but I need to remind myself of this on a scene-by-scene basis. If I let myself, I can become mired in the physical aspects of a scene, just trying to move the characters around, rather than getting through it with the knowledge that I can go back and perfect it later.
