Saturday I had fun hanging out at the local library with other local authors. DJ Murphy and I showed off our youngest readers…and I tried not to be put out by my grand daughter’s apparent preference for DJ’s book to mine. LOL.
Anyone miss me Friday?
Last week was a challenge for me as I wrestled through revisions, while fighting a series of migraines due to the unsettled weather…and probably somewhat due to my unsettled feelings about a couple of scenes in the story that I was struggling to make work.
I’m ecstatic to report that I typed “The End” on Friday evening and celebrated by reading other people’s stories all weekend. What a treat!
One of the stories I read was an advanced reader’s copy of Margaret Daley’s 2013 release, Scorned Justice. Oh my. She kept me up until 1 am. There were lots of twists and turns in the plot, but wow, I did not see the big one coming. If you love romantic suspense, you’ll want to add this one to your to-be-read pile.
This week, I’ll read through my own story one last time, and write a revised synosis for the art department, as they begin their task of creating a cover for the story, which… still hasn’t been named.
My apologies to all who offered suggestions on that front. We haven’t won over my editor with any yet.
Your Turn: What do you like to do for a change of pace?
Sandra, offering a baby’s smile at a book signing is much better than presenting a bowl of chocolates. She’s adorable 🙂
Your question on change of pace is perfect timing since yesterday I actually had a change of pace for a change: after church my husband and I enjoyed brunch out and then a matinee performance by a local theater company of Man of La Mancha, which definitely encouraged me in my dreams!
BTW, you have amazing book covers!
Elaine, oh wow, listening to “Dream the Impossible Dream” definitely sounds like a great way to recharge. 🙂
So glad you like my covers. The Art department is great to work with.
So happy for you and the – THE END! It’s always a great feeling!
Read, watch movies, get outside and listen to music. 🙂
Your weekend sounds wonderful! Too cute about your granddaughter. CONGRATS on finishing!!!
