Can You Believe...

Can you believe how fast this year is flying by? It only feels like yesterday I celebrated Christmas and  now it is only 48 days away... I am busy trying to get my 2012 commitments finished because next year I have specific things I want to get done and out in 2013. But I will tell you what they are on Jan 1st.

My poor cat Droogie has had a woeful year as well - his latest incident happened when I was at GRL. A neighbours dog bit him on the head and no one even realised - when I got home it was the first thing I saw as half his face was swollen... Two weeks later he is almost back to normal and following me around in case I leave again.

Em is back at work and working hard - she has been working late nearly every day to help get some drilling done for her dad. Don't ask me because I don't know - If I act like I'm interested then I would probably have to help, (there's a method to my madness).

Exciting news is in about eight days Embry Carlysle is going to submit her first story (Warrior Vamps) for publication to MLRPress so I have all my crossables crossed for her. I know she is a tad nervous so can you all keep your fingers crossed as well.

This year I have met so many interesting people for the first time - some I have know over the net some not. And some people have given me as well as many other people plot bunnies (yes Jared I'm talking about you). next year I hope my friends list grows because there are so many interesting people I have still yet to meet.

Just Subbed...

Just a quick note - I just subbed my Australia Day story: Bush Bashin' to MLRPress. I am damn tired I can tell you as I wrote about 6K all up yesterday on all my different projects. I have to write a blurb for AD:BB and I don't want to as I suck at blurbs... but it has to be done and as my mum says, "Suck it up, Princess, and get the job done."

Now I can concentrate on the NaNoWriMo and the Warrior Vamps - Come on December - LOL. Once November is passed I won't be quite so hectic.

Mixed Tape Anthology for MLR

This is the inspiration of my Mixed Tape story for the MLR call out - this is an open call out. Click this link to go to see the info on the call out. It is the first on the list... Give it a go - you don't know what you are capable of until you try.

MLR Submission Calls

A Moon-Runner Christmas

BLURB:

Two Lives – One Destiny. When fate decides two people belong together, nothing can stand in its way. Liam Kantry and Carlo Bruenelli find themselves caught up in the madness of Christmas as they discover the meaning of being true heart-mates.

Liam Kantry wants to be with the man he has loved his whole life, yet incessant rumours and innuendos have labelled him the pack whore –– a point he never disputed.

Carlo Bruenelli is waiting for his heart-mate; he is one of those who believe they really do exist. In his heart he wants it to be his best friend, only Liam doesn’t believe in heart-mates. What will it take to change Liam’s mind?

Christmas is drawing near, and between snowball fights and the contract ceremony. Liam and Carlo find themselves caught in the excitement and obsessing over what their future holds.

Are the true heart-mates will they forge a successful future for themselves or destroy two families?

Today I am....

=> Again I got up before the rest of the household and began working on my NaNo story - I got another couple of K done bringing my total up to 5,420... but apparently the NaNoWriMo site doesn't like me today and won't let me log in to up date my stuff - I will keep trying all day until I get it done.

=> I am determined to finish my bloody Aussie Day story today - I was at the Doctors yesterday with Em and then did some running around for our company so I didn't get a damn thing done. I need to get it to my Beta today.

=> Did I tell you I bought a trampoline... and no not for my kiddo, because as most of you know she is 22 (almost 23). I got it for me the Doctor said it is a great way to exercise... I had to get one with a safety net as most people who know me know how much of a klutz I am... I will let you know how it's going - or - how many bruises I have accumulated. I am hoping the hubs can put it together for me today - and wouldn't you know it - it looks like it is about to piss down rain. (After seeing pictures of myself at GRL I decided next year the pictures will look way better - I don't want to be supper thin or anything I just want to be healthier. Em has me on a better eating and exercise routine. .. Remind me later and I will give you an update on what is happening with me, (after GRL I came home and I was 104 kg or 229.2 lbs). I can happily say I have lost some since then I am calling the regime... Project HEA 2013 = Healthier eating Alternative & 2013 because I will keep going until GRL 2013.

More Updates - In Case You're Wondering.

Okay, Today is the start of a very busy month for me NaNoWriMo started for me today and I am happy to announce that I got up at the arse-crack of dawn and wrote on Taking Chances: Lie to Me 3140 to get me almost to my two day tally - as I have to go to Toowoomba tomorrow. Also just when I thought I was going to get my Aussie Day story done  Bush Bashin' which I still have 4K to go - I got my first round of edits on MLR's Christmas story - Christmastime at Papa Lee's. I am happy to announce that I got them finished today. I am still way behind but my wonderful MLR editor Kimberly Brandt is allowing me two extensions on the Aussie Day and my Warrior Vamps - Sons of Evenmore: The Crimson Grimiore.

Here's hoping that this weekend I get a heap of writing done and catch up on all my late projects... feel free to give me a little nudge when you think I am getting slack.

My Fan-Girl Moments At GRL

Okay everyone, do NOT look at how white my legs are in those shorts - Damn I sure have the Tasmanian tan going, and I haven't even lived in Tassie for at least 18 years. I so should have worn jeans or at least a long skirt. In next years pictures I will look way better - even if I have to get a spray on tan before I go so I don't look like I could stand buck naked in a blinding snowstorm and blend in.

Ethan Day - OMG he is such a beautiful man.

Carol Lynne - I could not believe how nice she was - Em was fan-girling as well.
