proposal time
First, before I forget, Larissa is almost all settled in her new house and her new state, and except for a cable problem that prevents her from getting online *sobs* she’s doing well. Hopefully, she’ll be back up and running by July.
Now, as for this weekend, I am going to finish the two Blaze proposals I’ve started no matter what. I’ve been sitting on them for far too long, and although it’s been a nice and well-deserved break, it’s time to get back in gear. Especially because, once Larissa is back, we’re planning on getting our Sydney Croft book 1 edited and sent in early. And we’ve already subbed the proposal for book 2 and it’s been accepted, which is awesome. And Kathryn was very happy with the second Blaze I sent in (it was a full, my just in case, book that I wrote while waiting for word on my first book, which is something I highly recommend doing. Because now I’m a full book ahead. Which is why I want to get these next proposals moving. I really, really like being ahead, because you never know when life is going to throw something your way. ) So that book has been moved up the line and I’m just waiting to hear. With everything crossed.
What’s everyone up to? Writing? Reading? Playing? Oh, speaking of reading and playing, yesterday I pulled out two of my all-time favorite reads and just gorged on them. Better than comfort food. That, combined with a feast of My Fair Brady, Hogan Knows Best and Supergroup where I get to watch Sebastian Bach implode - (hey, I’ve already admitted I want to read Posh Spice’s autobiography, so I have nothing left to hide from all of you), plus talking to 3 of my favorite people for hours made for an awesome day.
Anyway, I’ve got nothing but rain here, which is excellent writing weather. I’ll ignore the migraine as best I can and just get to it.

FInishing up a novella I have to mail on Thursday. I ripped it apart on Tuesday and cut 22 pages *insert maniacle laugh here* and the proposal for book 2. It’s almost done, just needs some tweaking but novella first. Then I’m gonna work on proposals for two other projects in July –that’s the plan anyway.
Take care of your head babe!

I continue to hop from one thing to another. Bad Tori! But at least I amuse myself. :) Right now I’m toying with a paranormal chick lit mystery.

A book ahead? You rock!
Very smart because things do come up. Life happens.

Well, I’m stuck in Vegas right now and while that sounds fun, I’m here with my 3 kids. That brings the fun quotient way down, like into the 5th ring of Hell.
I just finished a book which had all the elements I despise in a romance novel…and I really liked it. Maybe all those negatives make a positive?

Cece - I hate cutting, mainly b/c I’m always struggling for word count.
Tori - I’m always hopping too. I figure, as long as something’s getting done, it can’t be all bad :)
Hey Charli! Well, the book ahead came more from fear of rejection, but I have to say it came in pretty handy.
Rene - *sighs* You need to try and escape for a few minutes. Maybe head to that Huntington/Hart place they show on Inked and get a nice tattoo. Oh, and I love when that happens with a book - because even though I’m sick of the whole “it’s all in the execuation’ thing, it proves that you can do anything if it’s done well.
