The Adventure Continues!


(Image courtesy of Pat138241)

This has been a crazy year so far. I did my calculations and since January 1, 2013 I have written 126,000 words, spread out over three projects. Some of those projects got started in 2012 but all of them have been finished--or at least, as finished as they need to be for right now.

I've completed two novels, and written two proposals for my agent. For the summer, I'll be working on getting those two proposal books finished up, and then I figure I'll be busy with edits come the Fall.

In between all the writing and editing I'm going to be attending two conferences this year. The first is in Las Vegas in August. The Entangled team, including staff, editors, authors, and publicists, will be descending on Sin City for a week of workshops and other fun stuff -- If I don't die from the heat! And finally, I'll be in Ohio in October to attend EC's Romanticon, which is a fantastic event, well-attended by readers and bloggers who love erotic romance.

So that's it for me in a nutshell this year. Mostly unexciting, I know. But it's keeping me crazy busy and I couldn't be happier about that!

One down...

I finished a project yesterday (technically very very early this morning). I had edits due on a book and boy did they prove to be tough. I'm not sure I achieved what my editor wanted me to but the good thing about working with someone you trust is that even if you miss the mark, you know she'll steer you back on track. And I've been seriously lucky with my editors. I have three and love them all.

But now that this project is off my plate (until the edits come back for the next round, I guess) I'm going to be working on something new. FRESH WRITING, YAY!!

What is it?

A secret...shhhhh...

But...anyone who is waiting for Greta and the Goblin King might just be excited for this!

Domestic Bliss

My days are pretty boring ("What?" you say?) Well, sorry but when I'm not at the day job I have a 9 year old son, a puppy and a husband...all of whom seem to want things from me. Clean clothes, food on the table...ridiculous stuff like that.

But I get to a point (like right now) when if I have to look at another dirty sock, or hear "MOMMY!" I will absolutely scream.

And I have to go hide. It usually means I take off to Starbucks for a while.

Where do you go to get away?
