Lost Tonight!!
I’m a Lost freak. I love this show. So since it’s Wednesday…
You Are Sun
|
You have a past history of being secretive and deceptive.You’re the type of person who will protect yourself at all costs.While you can be crafty when you need to, you are usually giving, friendly, and likable.
You truly care for other people, and you are very sensitive.
People tend to underestimate you. You seem like a fragile flower, but you’re not.
You are gutsy and clever. You have a way of getting what you want without anyone noticing.

It’s Been Awhile
Good morning all. I realize I’ve been very neglectful of my blog as of late. Yeah, sorry about that. 
I’ve been crazy busy the last couple of weeks, but I seem to have myself better organized this week. At least I hope so.
I’m still riding the high of receiving the cover for Curse. I have to say, I’ve been very fortunate with cover designs. Both my books have fantastic covers. And there is the small thrill of finally having something in the Coming Soon section of my website. Yay!
Also, seeing two of my books with covers has made me all the more determined to get Blood and Bone ready for submission. Keeping my fingers crossed for the end of this month, but, in reality, likely not until mid-March.
So with two books coming out–Living Lies out in print at the end of April. No release date yet for Curse, but I suspect late this year–I’m hard at work on marketing. As I’m not the most outgoing person in the world, things like chats do not come easy. Also, too much time promoting takes away from writing . So as I put together my marketing plan, I’m constantly looking for the best way to get my name out there, while leaving myself time to work on new stuff. It’s a fine balance.
I’m currently reading Die With Me, Elena Forbes. I just started it, but the opening really pulled me in. I’m hoping the rest of the book continues to be as good the first chapter.
I guess that’s it for now. (You’d think with having not blogged in a while, I’d have more to say. LOL)
Mood: Good
Music: Trouble Me, 10,000 Maniacs

The Cold that Would Not Die
Progress has slowed some this week. I caught ds’s cold. I started coming down with it on Friday and wound up spending most of the weekend on the couch watching movies on T.V. And while I’m feeling better than I was, the cold is still lingering. Today, I’m stuffed up with a lovely sinus headache. These ridiculously frigid temperatures aren’t helping either. Okay, I’m starting to sound sulky. Enough of that. Advil should be kicking in soon and I’ll feel better.
WIP is at a standstill this week (I find it hard to concentrate when I’m sick) though rewrites on Blood and Bone are going well. Touch wood, but I’m really liking the way the story is moving and I love these characters. Given the hassles I’ve had with this story, I might have walked away from it ages ago if the characters didn’t have such a great chemistry.
Don’t forget to check out the contest at Tera Kleinfelter’s blog. All you have to do to win the daily prize is leave a comment. You’ll also be entered to win the grand prize which is full of really cool stuff.
Music: The Battle of Evermore, Led Zeppelin
Mood: Sick of being sick!
