At this point, I am existing on cat naps and the occasional legitimate length nap. I’m pretty sure beta edits are supposed to come back at some point this week. Maybe today. Or tomorrow. It’s kind of all foggy at this point. I’m not even sure what day of the week it is. I knew…
I’ve been kind of quiet over the last three weeks or so. One because I wanted to finish the second draft of Aileen 7. It’s done, by the way. It came in at a whopping 144,000 words. People, it’s Firebird long. And there’s one or two things I need to add that didn’t make it…
I have been keeping a small secret from everyone. Well not that small considering the upheaval my life has and will continue to go through. Earlier this year, the husband and I found out that I was pregnant. With twins, no less. This was very much a planned event. The pregnancy that is. Not so…
I was hoping to start writing this week. So far I’ve not written a single word–excluding this blog. My brain has decided to take an impromptu vacation. It’s pretty much considered AWOL at this point. Every time I sit down in front of the computer, it’s like I’ve forgotten how to write. The words desert…
For those of you who didn’t see the Facebook post last week, I finished the second draft of Firebird 5 last Wednesday. Just in time for the Husband and I to fly to St. Lucia the next day for a vacation we’d been planning since February. Having the draft done in time was one of…
On Friday afternoon I discovered the cats had fleas. That morning I’d gotten up and noticed black dirt like stuff where Loki had been sleeping at the end of the bed. I thought it was strange and made a mental note to check her over later to see if she’d gotten into anything. It wasn’t…
The last two weeks have been a whirlwind. I am utterly and totally exhausted. We went from Dragon Con directly to Florida for vacation. I still haven’t decided if that was a good way to do things or not. On one hand, vacation. Yay. On the other, I feel so behind and am trying not…
Friday did not go as planned. It started well enough. I got up, attended my Orange Theory workout class before returning and getting cleaned up. From there, I packed up my computer, headed to the coffee shop and dug 1200 words out of my brain. It was a pretty good pre lunch effort. I drove…
Now that I am about to embark on the second draft for Aileen 6, I thought it was time to build a little excitement for the coming book. As promised, here is a deleted scene from book 5. It was the original beginning of Twilight’s Herald. I cut it for reasons I can’t remember, but…
I finished the first draft for Aileen 6 yesterday. The idea that this part of the process is finally at an end is taking some time to sink in. This morning I woke up at my usual time despite promising myself I’d sleep in. After breakfast and puttering around the house for a little bit,…
