Piss Off's & Other News...

Yesterday I missed a day of blogging due to the fact I sat at our work shed for Five hours waiting for the guy to come and lay the cables for our phone line. It had to be me as the hubs was in meetings all day, Emily was in at the office working, Cameron was in TAFE learning something or other.


So there I sat for five-fricken-hours and the guy still hadn't turned up, the hubs, Em and I all tried calling him but got no reply so I decided fuck it, and I packed up and went home.

Still the guy hasn't called or arrived at the shed so I have no clue what his problem is.

ON OTHER NEWS:

I have done the first lot of edits for my MLR Father's Day story: When Souls Collide. And you will be all happy to know there was only one instance of head hopping I am so proud of myself on that one. As it has been something I have been working on. Okay that is my little bit of an update.

Book Thoughts & Other Ideas.


 Okay, well what can I say I am still not feeling 100% so I think I will leave writing the blog story for tomorrow.  Though I have done:

1: One more lot of edits on One Last Kiss Goodbye for Silver, I even sent them back. (Go me - I hope they make sense) LOL.
2: I made my pick for the Father's Day covers for When Souls Collide ( I really picked two because I liked them both and then told them to surprise me.)
3: I have made a start on fixing up The Lines of Marsden: Living in Shadows. I don't have major changes but there are things that I want to add in as well as scenes I want to take out.
4: Talked with Erica Pike about Hop Against Homophobia which is coming up in 17 days.
5: And had a IM conversation with one of my Beta Readers (Yoda) about the changes I plan on Making on TLOM 2.

So all in all I think I have had a very productive day. I am even looking up how to make Cheese, Cauliflower, and Broccoli parcels as that is what Emily wants for dinner tonight.

My Ad for GRL

The wonderful and very talented Lex Valentine made me this ad for the GRL Magazine ~ I love it.

Made by Winterheart Designs


I know I'm supposed to do Jettermane today but I have been ill (Stupid Flu & Migraines). I will try and get it written for tomorrow. But be forewarned I do have edits as well.

Brain Farts & Promo Items.

It is 7:19 am in the morning and my brain hasn't really kicked in yet. Mainly because the wonderful Dan Skinner sent me some more wonderful character pictures for perusal hence the reason I am having a brain fart.

I have been told that The Lines of Marsden: Rules Are Meant To Be Broken has gone off for Galley Proofing at MLR, and I have until August to tidy up book two: Living in Shadows (three months is doable, right?). I am lucky as the story is basically written I just have to remove a couple of the characters and bring Doyle into it more ~ Have I told you lately how much I love Doyle? Every one will love Christian or Michael but Doyle just has something about him that makes me want to hug him.

LiS follows straight on from RAMTBB, and then book Three will follow straight on from there and it is called: Pools of Amethysts. it will round out the first major hurdle that the Lines of Marsden has to face.

I am happy to announce that Sue Main has kindly agreed to beta for me on this one. I need a little bit of sanity in the rush that is about to come our way. I have Yoda (Jim Adkinson) as my other beta and between the two of them I am sure they will keep me on track. Luckily the Lines of Marsden is a project I hold close to my heart so I will give it my all. One of these years I will have to write a companion for this series so you can see my thought process of how this all came about.

And as for the promo portion of this post ~ I am still trying to work out what to do for GRL, Erica and I did one thing as a duo and now I have to work out what to do as an individual I am thinking Postcards or trading cards with two of my covers on them. What do you think?

What's Happening...

I am having one of those days where I just wanna throw my head back and scream long and hard until my throat is so raw that my voice is no longer able to sound. 

Why I hear you ask?

EDITS!

I have to admit they aren't even bad edits really I think I am just crap at explaining things. I am finding it very strange and difficult to jump from one mind frame to the next. I have two editors in two different publishing firms that want two very different things from me. seriously I jumble everything up when I try and squash both methods into the one story. Shouldn't there be like one universal editing system out there? (I can dream can't I?) I know I will get it all eventually but up until I do I am gonna wanna scream (a lot).

I think in the end it will be better for me but I feel like I need to go back to school just to learn English again ~ believe me I sucked at it the first time around. I really don't want to attempt it again. I know the picture I have posted has absolutely no relevance to what I am ranting over - I just thought it was pretty.
