Party all the time!

That song used to abslutely kill me...My girl wants to party all the time, party all the time, party all the tii-iime. LOL. I won't sing anymore just in case I make that song loop in your mind all day :)

So today I will be partying most of the day. Lots of relatives are either already here or on their way. Oy, family! I don't plan on writing today but am firmly entrenched in the ms so shouldn't have any trouble getting back into it come Monday. I'm having a blast with this story and hope it is as amusing as *I* think it is ;)

I just joined a new site called Romance Junction Books through invitation from my friend Alayne Adams. It's a great social site for romance readers and writers. I recommend going over and checking it out at www.romancebookjunction.ning.com Some great authors over there and it looks like the creator Victoria Purling has many exciting things in store coming up. So hop on over, check out yours truly and see what's the haps. I don't think yuo'll be disappointed. :)

We'll chat more tomorrow!

Catch-up

Lots of good things going on. My youngest brother just moved into the area and we've been having a good time hanging out. My daughter's birthday is coming up, so I'm getting ready for that. And this weekend is a huge family weekend. Whee!

I turned in the next Ivy book to Draumr and hear that I will have the same cover artist ehich is AWESOME!!! I love Patricia Storms. If you haven't seen her work other than my covers, you really should go check her out.

I'm working on my next manuscript. Did over 3000 words yesterday and think I have the flow going again - total relief. I hope to have it done about mid-April, then editing, then who knows? But I will be going on a writing retreat in May and want to write something new there, so that's my goal. Yippee!

Also, I JUST CONTRACTED ANOTHER BOOK!!! Woo-Hooo!!! It's called A Mother's Heart and you can see the art for it on the side bar. I think the artist did a fantastic job with the concept. Love the dog! I have to label it as Coming Soon because I don't know the exact release date yet, but I'll post when I do. It will be an ebook first so you can have the convenience of buying it at 3 in the morning if that's when your credit card calls to you :) Or your reading necessities. I'll post blurb and stuff later, but if you want to see more on it, you can go to The Wild Rose Press site at www.thewildrosepress.com

Have fun and we'll talk more later!

CHAT TONIGHT!!!!!

I could have sworn I had posted this when it originally came up but now I can't find the post. I'm having some technical issues over here so I'm not sure what happened. I may have written it and not posted it but that would be weird!

Anyway! The authors of The Shape of Love - Victoria, Vicky and me (the Un-Vicky!) are having a chat tonight over at our publishers website forum area. Stop on by and be prepared for a fun time! You can find us at http://www.draumrpublishing.com/forums/index.php?&act=Reg&CODE=00 to register then head on into the forums! We'll be there from 8 to 10 EST so come over for some fun!

So Many Cool Things!

Hello out there! I had to take a break for a family crisis and I apologize for that. Unfortunately this crisis will be somewhat of a longterm thing so I figured I'd better get back on the ball with my life in the meantime. So here I am. Happy to see you!

I had two book signings recently. Both went fantastical! The first was at The Paperback Exchange. I sold a ton of books and got to hang with two local authors Susan Kelley and Alayne Adams. Great time! Then I got my new anthology in the mail and spent some time with the two V's to sign before we had another book signing at a great store called One Good Woman. Phenomenal! Great coffee, great gifts, great atmosphere. Sold even more books and got to hang with Vicky, Victoria and Alayne again! YAY!!!! I'm going to put the cover up here as soon as I remember how the heck to do it :)

Then today was day two of no school because of weather but I did manage to get back into editing Ivy and it's flowing right along. So good times, good times! What have you all been up to?

Here I am!!!

Did you think I forgot about you? No way!!! One of my goals this year is to be consistent with the whole blogging thing. So here I am. I had a good time in VA. I love hanging with my girls. We went to dinner and sang in the car and so many other fun things. I think I'm going to carve out time this summer to spend a week down there. My aunt lives in a house surrounded by a creek, a bay and a river. It is so peaceful and I even wrote down there! YAY!

And speaking of writing, here are some numbers for you if you are interested. :) Saturday - took the day off, first one since Jan 3rd. Sunday - 2007. Monday - 4075. Tuesday - 4112. And today - 2091! So yay! again because I have consistently (love it!) hit my goal every day. Woot!!!!

New news!!! I just got a peek at the cover for THE SHAPE OF LOVE and I cannot wait for it to come out. It is gorgeous and I will share as soon as I have permission!!!

Misty - should be smacked for excessive !!!!!!!! use ;)

Cya soon!

I'm going to VA tomorrow morning and I won't be on the internet at all until Sunday night again. So farewell until then :) Have a good weekend and behave yourselves.

Before I go I want to just check in with the word count challenge. I hit 2007 words today so I have kept at a minimum of 2000 words a day since the 3rd. And I'm pretty excited about the story now. I'm taking my laptop with me this weekend so we'll see if I manage to get anything done.

Wish me luck!

On track

YAY!!! I hit 3000 words today and the strange thing is that it was 3000 words exactly and I hadn't checked word count since 2273. How bizarre is that? But I have met or exceeded my goal for eight days now and am feeling good. I am over halfway done with the book and feeling good about that too. I love getting halfway at least because it feels more like downhill from there. I still have many plot twisties and nasties but I also have a firm idea of how it will all work out and come together nicely. YAY, again!!!

Tomorrow I will hit at least 2000. I have a social engagement during the day (I love the way that sounds LOL) and then I will write in the evening. Then Saturday I am going to be in Virginia, right where I set the fictional town on Martha's Point so I will do a little research and rejuvenate myself in the writing by taking in the scenery and putting it on the page. I plan on writing while I'm down there but we will see. I have two days of writing vacation coming to me, but I'd prefer not to use them.

Ta-ta for now!
