Things never work out as planned...

You know how I had every intention of getting that story revised yesterday? Well, it didn't work out. It's still not done, but I have a good reason for it. You see, after I finished my galleys and emailed them off, I got a new copy back. And because I'm a freakish double checker, I went through it again!

Yeah, I'm weird. I know. Still, at least I'm now positive that I haven't missed any typos or dashes. Lol. Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

But anyway. After I got that out of the way, I had the third edits for OBSCURE waiting for me in my Inbox. I intended to get about halfway through last night, but the hubby worked so late that I just kept going and going. Until I got to the end. They're now done and emailed as well. Can't wait to see the cover for this one. Heck, I can't wait to see every cover. I love getting covers, it's so exciting.

So, I'm now free to work on something else. Let me just go and think about it. Have you checked out this insane challenge? ;) Might have to take part. I need the weekend to think it over.

Isn't it funny?

Yeah, life is funny. But I'm not talking about the old ha-ha kinda funny, I'm talking about bizarre funny. You see, I woke up yesterday morning with nothing on my writing plate. Okay, that's not accurate because I've always got something in mind. But what I mean is that there were no edits to get out of the way, or any new NaNo words to be written.

Nope, I had my pick of things to do. So, I decided it would be wise to get the second draft of one of my stories done. You know, get a move on it so I can do the third draft next month and sub it in? So, I got to it. Got as far as 38/75 pages before I checked my emails and found some galleys waiting in my Inbox. LOL.

Anyway, I put aside the revision and got stuck into the galleys. Let's just say that I got them finished about twenty minutes ago. And it feels good. This is for my AA X-mas release. Yeah, I've got a few new releases next month. ;)

So, I think I'll tackle another chapter of the revision and then try to get it finished sometime tonight.

It's been a really strange and hectic kinda week. Anyone else looking forward to the weekend? Man... I really need to get a to-do list ready for December.

Just hit the send button!

That means the second round of edits for my upcoming Cobblestone Press release, OBSCURE, are now done and emailed to my excellent editor. Yay!

I pretty much spent all day on them. On and off. There are always other things to do, right? Like real life stuff, I mean. :)

So, it's 9:19pm here on Wednesday night and the hubby's not home from work yet. What should I do? Wander aimlessly online, do some research, veg out in front of the TV, or pick up a new book to read? Ah... choices, choices.

Anyway, I hope you all -

New week, New goals

It's early Monday morning.

Got the third round of edits for VB completed and emailed yesterday afternoon. Yay!

Also added a little bit to the NaNo novel before my daughter woke up:


Hoping to cross the 50k today. I'll post again later.

Productive, but not with NaNo

Well, I got stuck into the third round of edits for Valentine's Beast. I had to stop because the lappy almost died on me, but I did get halfway through. So that's cool.

Oh, and I finally got my November newsletter done and emailed last night!

Now, I hope you all...
