I know, terrible. I am completely out of control with the lack of blogging. Every minute of every day the last few weeks has been sucked up by work, grad school, and/or football. I love being busy, but it's also meant I'm a little stressed out and there has been no writing time. I have gotten a couple of pages of rewriting done for the new edition ( Read more... )

Am I the worst blogger in the world or what? I'm going to try and be better, but don't hold your breath. My birthday came and went, I survived turning 40. NYC was awesome and we had a fabulous time. Hubby and I will be going back next February for a day, since my sister gave me tickets to the NYC Ballet for my birthday. Squee! I am happy, hubby is ( Read more... )

 I know almost all writers have one. I SHOULD have one. I probably need one.  I'd love to meet once a month or a week at a coffee shop and chew the fat and critique work. I've had beta readers and critique partners over the years, but no one that's really hung around. It's not that I don't like to critique - and I'm pretty good at it, to be honest ( Read more... )

 Hey all! Been a bit, sorry to not blog for awhile,hope you've been keeping yourselves out of trouble. I've been on summer vacation for two whole weeks now, and I'm just getting over the 'ahhh' of not working and into the 'I need to find something to do'. I have plenty to keep me busy: making Powerpoint slides for the Worldbuilding seminar I'm ( Read more... )

 * I have STILL not started new job. State DoE and sundry other persons are being so slow it's almost painful. If it were up to me this would have been taken care of weeks ago. Alas, it's not as important to anyone else as it is to me (and possibly my school's principal), so I must wait, hopefully not much longer.

*Virtual Book Tour continues! I ( Read more... )

 My virtual book tour starts tomorrow! I'll try and keep up and post the links, but I think there are five or more stops a week, so if I miss one, please forgive. I've got a lot going on in May - getting ready for my new job, going to the Maryland Faerie Festival. School is done for the summer, fortunately, so at least that pressure will be off. I ( Read more... )

 Busy week! The time I have off now, between work days, is spent trying to get it all together before I start my new job and have NO weekdays off. Yesterday was spent finishing my final project for Instructional Media and catching up on my YA lit class, organizing for the book events of the week, going to the doctor for my pre-employment physical, ( Read more... )

 Let's hope this week is a little smoother than last week, shall we?

*Hubby's home from the hospital, not really any more sure about what's wrong. The medicine they gave him in the hospital took away the nausea, but as soon as he was home it started coming back. They didn't prescribe the stuff he had in the hospital to take home either, which sounds ( Read more... )

 What can I possibly say about this week? It started out well enough; two days of subbing in two different libraries. There I am cruising along, liking the new service I'm working for, taking off on Wednesday so I could work on my final project for my Instructional Media class.

Then the whole thing fell apart like Charlie Sheen's stage act. See if ( Read more... )

Been using time productively this week. Started and finished video project for Media class (audio project garnered an A, thank you), and bibliography project for YA Lit. Still reading like a madwoman, but we're up to the SF/Fantasy week, so I'm totally in my element. Compared to last semester, this is a total vacation!

Next week is my "Spring Break ( Read more... )
