My Upcoming Week

I have an agenda... How well my week runs is how close I can stick to said agenda. With the way I get distracted we all know that could happens so easily this week might just turn into a giant cluster-fuck.

First off I still have no new editor news for MLR (I know I have one just not who it is as yet - to be honest I think my computer ate it). If I don't hear anything by my Monday I'll email and ask.

I have the last 10K of Windblown Kisses: My Knight in Tarnished Armour, which I promised my beta reader (Yoda - aka - James Adkinson) he'll get this by the end of the weekend or the middle of next week by the latest. After he's finished doing his thing with the story line I'm going to sub it somewhere. Not sure where, but as soon as I know I'll tell you all. Though I want to know if before I send it to be subbed would Cinders read through it to make sure I haven't left any major holes in the story line... Let me know if you can.

I have a ton more tax stuff to get together and I have a meeting with our business manager on Thursday in Brisbane... so I have to get that done. (Funny story: I will be able to laugh about it later, but right now I feel like slamming my head against the wall. One of our cats (Toby) decided it would be a good idea to jump up on my office desk, an in the process he knocked down all the carefully separated files so everything fell into a big mess. So now I have to re separate them all because when my mum picked them up she mixed them up even further and put them all together). I plan on fixing them on Tuesday and Wednesday so I have them ready by Thursday.

Emily is getting ready to reapply for the Army... her required amount of years has passed since she had her operation (spleen removed). We have been given the Army work out schedule for her to build up her stamina. Em in all her wisdom has decided if she has to do this then I'm doing it as well just to  keep her company... So if I suddenly drop off the radar you'll all know I've keeled over from trying to run... My body was not built to run - and apparently there is a lot of it.

My hubs has gone out the morning and is getting the supplies we ordered to build the office/library extension so we'll probably start on this as well at some stage today. (When I say we - you all know I mean Em and the hubs - they know how unco I am, and have banned me from touching any of their tools - no matter how good a job I did with helping Ted do reno's in the Tattoo shop: which come to think of it, Ted wouldn't let me touch the tools either, maybe they have something?)

I Got Distracted Again...

Are words even needed?

I didn't think so...

Until July 31 (The Next 56 Days)

I have a headache today - I did so much running around this morning (still no new computer tower - because the guy's shop was once again closed) every time I go there lately he is closed - I think I need to find a new computer guy.

I am still working on Windblown Kisses: My Knight in Tarnished Armour... I am at 54K and I want to try and get the whole story finished by the end of the weekend or by middle of next week at the latest - (only 26K to go).

After that I will concentrate on the following three stories which I hope to have all of them finished by the end of July:

The Lines of Marsden: Living in Shadows (44K to go)

The Diamond Rose: Undercover Hearts (35K to go)

Kody (15k to go)

All up I have 120k to write ~ wish me luck.

Em's Turn...

Here are some oldies but goodies.

I used to sing these to Em when she was a baby.

Enjoy!

NEWS FLASH!!!

I've just had a message that I'll find out this week about my new editor at MLR Press.

Also I will be getting a contract for Experimentals: Blessed With A Curse.

PS: This is the song with three awesome lines which gave me that great story idea.

Yeah the one I lost.

I'm Having One Of Those Days...

I'm having one of those days when Murphy's Law seems to be running rampant in my life. It's all the little shit that goes wrong that makes you want to bang your head against the wall for hours at a time. I should add it's nothing major happening just stuff that adds up to be a bog fat pain in the arse.

Come with me if you will while I share: my house phones died so I had to replace them (nothing is made to last these days). The new phones while they look good are crackling and I have no clue why.

I still haven't heard who my new editor is at MLR - but I do know that someone is reading my stuff so hopefully soon I will hear something (we all know how much I love waiting - LOL). I have had contact with the EIC so I know I will eventually get somebody.

I was listening to a song the other day and I got a great idea for a story so I quickly jotted down my idea and then promptly lost the notebook with the idea in it. - (How can I lose a notebook?) I have no clue where it went to and I never found it while I spring cleaned my house out over the weekend.

I am trying to book my stay at a Sydney hotel for a meet I am going to in October and the place is never heard of it even though the Meet is at there hotel (why don't people tell other people what's happening so at least one person each shift knows what the hell is going on?) So now I had to email them and I am waiting to hear back from them while they sort it out on their end.

The good news is I am still reworking Windblown Kisses: My Knight in Tarnished Armour ( I am going back and revising the last 10K I just reworked to double check the head hopping).

PS: The picture I posted is here

 just because I thought it was HOT!!!

This is what I did today...

Today Emily and I registered for the Oz M/M Meet 2013, and later on this afternoon when Em gets home from work we will book or accommodation and organise our flights.

Other than that, I've been working like mad on Windblown Kisses: My Knight in Tarnished Armour. I have made it to 46K, which totally blows me away. This re write is going way better than I thought it would and I can tell you I am so over head hopping. As strange as it seems when I originally wrote this story I gave every single character (whether they be a major or a minor) a POV. So the damn thing was jumping all over the place. I'm trying to stay as close to the original story line as possible but inevitably you know as well as I do that with all re writes changes get made.

I'll be away a lot over the next two days so I'm not sure I will have time to blog. (I will be out buying stuff for my office/library extensions & helping with the building). Not to mention I'm trying to buy a Dan England CD. I have one but I want his other one - (purely for research of course - LOL).

Enjoy!
