Yes, I actually do still blog here. I have been MIA for the last few weeks it feels like. Here’s what I’ve been up to. . .

Major landscaping project (half done)
Trip to New York City (yummy! Love Little Italy, sigh)
Kickboxing, kickboxing, kickboxing (still trying to lose those darn 5 pounds I gained at RT)

Wrote, re-wrote, re-re-wrote, revised, re-re-re-wrote prologue from hell
working on novella from hell
And now I’m on vacation at the Cape.

My house is a pit, I need to go grocery shopping in a bad way, and I’m pretty sure I’m behind on sending out my bills, but things are moving along.

My plan is to take the summer off from writing and “refill my well” of creativity. Actually, I’m teaching summer school, going to RWA in Georgia, throwing a party for my grandmother, and having my sister and her family at my house for a week so somehow I just don’t think I’ll have a whole lot of writing time. Instead of making myself crazy again this year, I’m going to focus on edits and promotion and just play around with the many ideas I have for stories. I figure I can just sort of let them simmer in my head and maybe by the time the kids go back to school I’ll have the energy to bang some of these suckers out.

Right now I think I need a week long nap. . .yeah, right. . .
