Rolling Up My Sleeves

Okay Holy week and Easter is now over. We have today as a bank holiday to get over, for some, a long week of church services and for others, copious amounts of chocolates. I didn't do the chocolate overindulgence, but I only made a few services since Meg tires easily and I have to be conscious of exposing her to too many germs and sudden weather changes, which can make her sick. 


Anyway, I haven't been writing much these last few weeks and I am anxious to get some more work out there. Let's Pretend just go released on Wednesday and I'm waiting for More Than a Playboy's galley. Also, Harlequin Mills & Boon is considering the full of Zach's Rebound Girl for their HeatTM line. All good stuff, but I would like to buckle down and see what I'm really capable of.


This said, I'm working on another story to submit to HM&B and a couple more for TWRP. This is Meg's last week of intensive chemo for a little while--she's still on chemo but not as invasive a treatment--so I have seven weeks in which to make real progress.


Wish me great time management & inspiration!
   

Autumn Goals

Where has the summer gone? I woke this morning to a distinct sense of autumn in the air. Soon the days will be short and night long and cold. The perfect setting for snuggling in my comfy executive chair and writing.

Autumn is also a time to review my writing goals. My new book—Divorce Etiquette—is on sale this autumn (November 18th) and I’m thrilled. But with the approaching release I’m conscious that I need to keep up a steady output of stories, and have been hard at work to do so.

This in mind, my autumn/winter goals are to compartmentalize my life so I give more time to my family. “Give me just one minute” is starting to lose its power. I have been neglecting my exercise routine also, so I really need to get back on some kind of exercise plan.

I’ve just finished writing More Than a Playboy and am planning to get Zach’s Rebound Girl done and out the door asap.

What are your autumn/winter goals?
