OhholygodIhurteverywhere and Foreign Covers
Hello,
This morning I went to a real, hardcore ballet class for the first time in over a decade. And like any self respecting Type A personality, I refused to take it easy and instead hurled myself into the class despite the fact that I no longer have the ballet-specific muscles or endurance to do that sort of hurling. Good news, I can still do a lot of things I didn't think I would be able to do. I can still jump like a fracking gazelle and spin in lots of circles without puking (though I did get a LOT dizzier than I used to) and decipher a combination that is spoken to me in French rather than fully demonstrated. That rocked. I felt sparkly and the other students in the "adult" class--would be more accurate to call it the college girl class, as few looked older than twenty--were very sweet and let me trail along behind them and watch when I got too confused.
It was great, and I am now filled with the burning desire to get back into performance worthy shape and try out for next year's Nutcracker. I can do it, I think. And my supportive husband is being very supportive, as usual, and said that he'd love for me to do that and would help watch the kids and would love to come see me dance and that meant so much to me because I never realized that he realized how much I miss dancing and oh la la la happy day!
So that's the good news.
The bad news, is that now I hurt everywhere. Ev-er-y-where. My toes, my back, my shoulders, even my thumb, and the place between the thumb and pointer finger. I will not be writing much more today. *ow* *wince* Or maybe even tomorrow. *ow* (Good thing I was very productive with the word count earlier in the week.)
So I thought it would be a good show and tell picture day! Let's look at the pretty foreign covers and I will be back with a real blog post next week. I promise. Mostly. Probably....
Unless I have an amazing writing week like I did this week in which case I will continue to draft because I'm loving this book and writing it is fun. (In related news, those of you with Publishers Marketplace will have seen my big news. For everyone else, I will save the big news until Monday. So come back Monday. Big news and more specifics than the Pub Marketplace memo.)
Now without further ado:
Juliet Immortal in Turkey:
Dead on the Delta in Germany
Juliet Immortal in France (just came out this week! Hope my French readers enjoy it.)
Juliet Immortal in Germany
Thank you very much.
I'm off to down a few ibuprofen and try to walk through the agony.
Happy weekend,
Stacey Jay
