Red Sunday

Today I'm feeling a tad red... it could be because I have so much to do and no time to do it in... Or it could be because my Muse has gone on vacation with my Sanity and haven't left me a date they'll be back by- Hope it's by November 1st when NaNoWriMo starts.

My office looks like a cyclone has just blown through it - why do people think it's okay to dump there junk all over my office desk? Then I have to clean everything up by sorting through it and putting it away.

I have two of my nieces coming to visit next weekend it will be good to see them as I haven't seen them in two years.

I'm having a spruiking (being proud of myself) moment today as well... First time ever I am finally on top of all my taxes... & I plan on staying that way. I have finally gotten into a routine of sending everything off to my book keeper at the end of every month. Though while filing stuff away I didn't realise until I'd finished one folder that I have to pull everything out and do it all again because I put everything in the folder backwards.

I haven't heard back from Steve L (MLR editor) on The Lines Of Marsden: Living In Shadows... Nor do I know what stage Experimentals: Blessed With A Curse is at. I fricken hate waiting, but in all honesty - I don't know how busy Steve L is. I just hope I hear about them soon so I can let all of you know.

Today I am...

My hubs as wonderful as he is put up some more shelving in my office/library extension and I have just sorted and put up all my DVD's only to find that a shitload of them are missing - Fast & Furious number 4 is just gone - why would you only take one DVD out of a set and Harry Potter 7.2 is gone as well and a heap of my very bad vampire and werewolf books has vanished. - Man it pisses me off when they just magically seem to walk away and everyone you ask swears that they don't have them.

You know you're having a bad day when...

• When the first words out of your kiddo's mouth is "Mum, I'm so sorry." Then she brings her hands from behind her back to show you she has accidentally knocked water all over your marriage certificate and ruined it... Yes, the one she promised to be careful with...
• When you have to drive for 15 hours to pick one of your workers up from hospital and then drive him all the way into Brisbane and not get home until 9:30 pm.
• When you go to drink your coffee only to find the cat has beaten you to it, and left fur floating on the top.
• When you want to write - something/anything and your mind has gone totally blank.

Well that pretty much sums up my days yesterday and today... 

I hope tomorrow is better.

I can finally see it.

Weirdly, after all these years I can finally see it when people say Em and I look alike... not as in looks, but we have exactly the same mannerisms and stuff. 

Just finished some like edits on Experimentals: Blessed with a Curse... and returned them to the wonderful Steve L... I really can't wait for the cover art on this one.

I am supposed to be writing today, but as per usually a million other things have jumped to the head of the queue of important shit to complete.

I did see that The Connelly Chronicles: Family Connections... has been uploaded onto Amazon under the wrong name they misspelled Nielsen... hopefully it will get fixed soon. Then to top matter off I now have the damn book twice on my Goodreads... Sometimes I just SUCK!!! Luckily the talented and awesome Rebecca Bec fixed it all up for me

Pissed off and ranting...again.

Well, my life sucks at the moment because: there is something wrong with my computer... the stupid mouse/pointer thingy keeps sticking and driving me insane. This all started as soon as I tried to update windows to the 8.1 version... for the love of God don't do it... I have no clue how to make things better. Nothing is working like it should... this is seriously pissing me off. I'm at the stage where I want to hit the computer but in  all seriousness I was the one that clicked on the button...Why do I always have to click on the buttons?

Suck it up, Princess ~ it's another rambling day.

This is how I am feeling today. My mind has decided to take a little vacation when I need it the most -- Typical!

I am supposed to catching up on sorting out the filing and then realised my book keeper still has some of the taxation folders I need. I will have to email her and see if I can get them back... weirdly I have a strange filing system but it works.

I'm trying to get all this done before NaNoWriMo rolls around and I find myself at the end of November with everything stacked up on various parts of my desk. 

Also my brother Ted is collecting me a whole heap of information on this healthier living regime he guarantees will help me lose some kilograms. He's lost 14 so far so I will keep you all informed on my progress.

Sit back, relax, & let me ramble on...

Here I was realising that I have so much to do in the next 2 & a half months and then I see pictures like this, which put new story ideas in my head.

I'm trying not to start on something new when I have so much I need to finish by the end of the year... and I need to revise some of my writing schedule for 2014.

My major projects are:

1. Sons of Evenmore: Blood to Blood, which I have decided will be my NaNoWriMo for this year & will go to MLR.
2. The Connelly Chronicles: Beautiful Goodbyes, which is still just a happy for now book with one bit of heart breaking tragedy that I am working myself up to write for Silver.
3. The Lines of Marsden: Living in Shadows, which I will hopefully have in edits with MLR
4. The Experimentals: Blessed with a Curse, which will hopefully be released soon with MLR
5. The Gaean Prophecies: Admetus Gaea, which is about to start edits with Silver.
