where you just want to tune out the rest of the world and zone for awhile? :couch:
Yep, I’m there. I have a horrible headache and so even looking at a computer screen is out. Makes my head swim. So though I have a proposal I’m supposed to be writing, my mind keeps drifting away to new ideas, characters I can’t write yet but want to, dreaming up their situations….
Sigh…
I kinda like these days. Well, except the headache part. I’d really give about anything to get the icepick out of my forehead.
I love it when that happens. I’m feeling pretty good right now. Just sent off the more fun than a barrel o monkeys book off to my agent who squeed her delight in a return email. Next up is a proposal one of my editors is waiting for. That starts tomorrow. For today, I’m going to breathe, take some downtime and celebrate an accomplishment.
Grilling out for lunch today. Mmmm down here, if you can’t grill it, it ain’t part of the necessary food groups.
I also booked my flight to California this past week. I felt a little stressed booking it because I was thinking about all the stuff I have to do. And then I realized that I’m supposed to be FINISHED with all that stuff before my trip. So uhm it’ll be a reward, right? Downtime with one of my bestest girlfriends….ahh. Heading out there second week in October, and I can’t freaking wait.
so if you haven’t visited, hop over because we’re kinda going nuts today with the giveaways.
I’m on target to finish the first book in the great evil plan this Thursday. I don’t have a lot of time to enjoy that because I have to get it polished, edited and squeaky clean to send off ASAP. And then I have to immediately jump on a proposal that my editor is waiting for. (Evil plan part deux) Okay, make that two proposals *sigh* One for each editor.
Er uhm and then I have two books to finish. :violin:
I might see daylight. Next year….
I’m celebrating the release of For Her Pleasure over at Writeminded. :cheer: I’m giving away prizes all day, so head over for the fun!
I just remembered that today is the last day of the month, which means that the October books will go on sale after midnight at eharlequin. And I’ve got so much stuff to do that I can’t binge like a junkie and go buy them all and spend the weekend reading :crying:
I’ll be scarce for awhile. Tis madness right now. I’ll be over at Writeminded in and out for the next two weeks as we throw our party. My main days I’ll be posting are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week (my release days and also the ebook madness day where I’m giving away tons of ebooks)
But I’ll mainly be in my writing hidey hole. Most of yesterday was either spent on the phone with my agent or emailing her. We have a couple of things brewing and so for the next couple of weeks I’ll be eating, sleeping and drinking the writing.
I’ll be chatting over at Romance Junkies Tuesday September 4th, so if you’re inclined, pop over and say hi. :hug:
Renee sent me a pic of For Her Pleasure that she saw at her Borders. A week early! :banana:
The kids went back to school today :weee:
Just one more week until For Her Pleasure hits bookstores everywhere. Can’t wait to get a glimpse :whoo: The Writeminded party kicks off tomorrow and we’ll have two weeks chock full of giveaways. Brazen also releases next week (same day as For Her Pleasure) so it’s going to be a very, very cool week! I can’t wait!
We went to the beach this evening. I was feeling restless and edgy and wanted a little adventure. I wanted to go late and stay to watch the sunset. We’re currently being plagued by seaweed. After driving the beaches on the Bolivar Penisula, we opted to take the ferry across to Galveston and watch the sunset on the ferry ride. We got ice cream in Galveston then rode back and drove home.
It made me anxious for my upcoming trip to California. I’m flying out to see a friend and we’re going to hang out in Carmel and watch a few sunsets with drinks :drunk: I can’t wait. Just a little over a month until I go.
This has been a fantastic writing week. Love it when that happens. And I’m so proud of myself. I love lists and schedules. They make me happy. Which is hilarious because I’m the most disorganized person I know. While I LOVE lists and schedules, I never stick to them. Ever. I love making them because they give me a false sense of organization, but then as soon as I make them, I discard them.
Anyway, I made a writing schedule because I needed to map out my writing time for the rest of the year. I have various commitments and needed to plan accordingly. I actually stuck to the schedule all week and so I jammed on the page count. I love the story I’m working on. It’s fun and I love all the characters. They’ve been so fun to write and hang out with.
One more squee, but the kids start school Monday :banana::rockthefuckon: Nuff said.
however, the kids have now decided my bedroom is the place to be? :kap: :crying:
It’s been a productive morning, though. I busted ass over the weekend because I had two sets of edits show up on the same day. But the copy edits are fedexed back to NY and the Samhain edits have been emailed to my editor, so now I just have to get cracking on the other stuff I planned for this week. Namely, writing!
