auctions, writing & smoothies, oh my
Auction Updates: Day 3 of Larissa’s auction goes live tonight at 8pm PST. It’s the same link as the first two days and it’s the final batch of auction items. FYI - the Day 1 Auction ends tomorrow evening.
Anyway - I’ve just been busy as anything with the auction and trying to get my writing projects whipped into shape. I’m moving along pretty well with the revisions and got a few brainstorms over the past day or so for BOL (Nick’s story) so that’s finally moving along at a good pace - 15 pages yesterday plus some clean-up in other areas of the ms. If I keep up with the schedule I made out, I could be done with both (and I use the term done very loosely in this situation) by the end of September. *fingers crossed*
I also had a whole little mini-rant written, about how a school in my area is sending forty 17 year olds to Texas for 6 hours to volunteer in a church, but really, the stupidity of it all just made me too tired. They’re going to build a sense of community. Yes, in 6 hours. Because I’m sure that money they’re all spending for plane tickets couldn’t find any better use.
I’ve got to stop thinking about that - it’s making me crazy. Well, crazier. Because, let’s not forget that I’m living in the land of smoothies over here. A land where the four year old likes to wake up at one in the morning and stay up until at least 5am. A land where my mother just said to me, you’ve already written a lot of books. Maybe take a break for a while?

I think you need a break too, but not from writing. ;)
((hugs ))

Hugs, Steph! But the work you’re doing for Larissa is wonderful. Wish I could afford some of the auction items! I’ll be sending a gift card instead.

It’s a strange world we live in, isn’t it? I agree with Sasha.

Hugs, Steph!!! How’s the construction going? (In other words, how soon can you leave the nest again? :))

Sending hugs too, because apparently our kids and our mothers are all twins separated at birth …

Tell her, “You’ve already taken care of a lot of patients. Why don’t you take a break for awhile. Or, maybe, bring them a nice, cool smoothie?”

cute emoticans!
I came over from Larissa’s blog…have you heard from her? I worry about her and Bryan driving all that way. Of course I am sure she is fine, but I wanted to check.
I think that somedays would be much better if the kids and mom lived far far away :) :) :)
Hang in there! I am sure it is not a break from writing you need…although I wish I could just say “yeah, I think I need a break away from my job for a while…I will call you when I want to come back!
I wish I could afford to do more, but it looks like the gift card is going to be what I give too…although if she stops by my place for a night, I would feed her and fill the car up too :)
Thanks for all you are doing for her…you my dear are a wonderful friend!!!

You know Steph, a smoothie just might make everything all better.

Thanks for the hugs, guys!!
And Emma, maybe if there’s tequila in it…:razz:

Or maybe vodka…

Jean - I might just forgo the smoothies all together and hit the vodka…
