I've Been Busy...

▷Yesterday I spent the day making up a calendar template that I can use each year to set out my writing for the year. I worked out that if I work on 2K a day I can write 2 (100K) novels and 15 (40K) novellas a year. that still leaves time for doing edits. I'm happy with that. Now it just means sticking to it. I'll try it out for the end of this year. 

▷This is what I'll be working on:

The Connelly Chronicles 3: Because of You

Cotter's Girls 1: Tash (M/F)

Sons of Evenmore 3: Fear the Scarlet Moon (NaNoWriMo)

Wardens of the Guild 3: Heart Strings (NaNoWriMo-partly)

Lancaster's Way 3: Pre-loved

Experimentals 3: Messages from the Dead (just the start as it continues into 2020)

▷So Far I've been keeping up with my word count along with doing my edits on other books. The big test will be when I get first edits back on The Lines of Marsden 4: The Trail of Red Roses. I'll let you all know.

Playing Catch Up

Robson loves helping me when it comes time to work. I don't get much done, but he thinks he's doing a great job. Oliver, on the other hand, is off somewhere sunning himself. Though, not today as we are having a dust storm. I think it's probably from the fires we have hereabouts. All I can smell is dust in the air. Not the greatest thing in the world after being ill.

Today I'm supposed to be writing and I need to make it to 13K on The Connelly Chronicles 3: Because of You to keep me on track for my end of year of my writing schedule.

I'm waiting for the final line edits on Admetus Gaea 1: The Gaean Prophecy... and first edits on The Lines of Marsden 4: The Trail of Red Roses.

I still haven't heard from MlRPress about covers yet. I will have to email my editor to make sure if I sent the cover art forms to the right place.

Still Sick...

▷Yeah, I'm still fighting this damn cold. The nose is drying up, but I still feel as if I'm coughing up a lung. My head is still pounding and my ears are ringing like nobodies business, and somewhere along the way, I lost my sense of taste. I'll be glad when everything is back to normal. Even Emily is still trying to shake off this cold as well. I blame her for giving it to me.

▷It's all overcast here today. I hope we get some rain, we surely do need it. The grass all around us is as dead as a doornail.

▷One of the houses across the road is going to be moved out today/night. Not sure where it's going to. I just hope another house goes in and they don't build a block of flats/units.

▷Grace (my granddaughter) just went through some teething and went from having 4 teeth to having 12 teeth. So she has been a cranky little miss for the last few days. I say feed her what she likes as she is off eating at the moment except for chicken nuggets, coloured popcorn, and chocolate. 

▷The chicken noodle soup I cooked was good━not that I could taste it, or really smell it━but my mum told me it tasted really yummy so that was a plus. I was afraid I was going to overcompensate with the spices because I couldn't taste if there was or wasn't enough.

▷The weather is starting to warm up here. So hopefully, it will be time to pack the jeans and jumpers away for another year. I much prefer wearing shorts and skirts. hell of a lot easier when it comes to washing day as well. Yeah, I'm bitching and complaining, but what else is new?

▷I still haven't heard anything about covers yet, but considering everyone is probably getting ready for GRL then I won't here until after that is over and done with... or is that already been and gone? With being sick I've kind of lost track of what's been going on with everyone.

I'm sick!!!

⇨I have another bloody cold. I hope like hell it doesn't turn into bronchitis again... that would be all I'd need. I also have a headache that just won't quit, but I think that's because I'm so stuffed up.

⇨Yesterday I received back my fully signed contract from MLRPress for The Lines of Marsden 4: The Trail of Red Roses.

⇨Jay. H Jay was able to tell me the name of the author and the book title I've been looking for, for the past few days. Bailey Bradford: Something Shattered I can finally stop looking.

⇨I was reading on the NaNoWriMo site that when it renovates it's site and switches over our profiles go over, but not our buddies list━Does that me we have to re-friend everyone again? 

⇨I still can't find the missing pieces to my printer, so it looks like I'll have to get a new one. I hope I can get the same kind so I can use the same ink cartridges as I have spares. I'd hate to have to waste them.

Admetus Gaea 1

 The Gaean Prophecy

Still waiting for covers, but will show you as soon as I can. I'm getting excited to see what they'll look like.

Been Sick.

I have been ill since Friday night, as has my little granddaughter. I think we both might have had a touch of food poisoning. If I still feel like crap tomorrow I'll go to the doctors.

Today I have my little helper Robson keeping me company. Actually, he and Oliver have hardly left my side since I've been ill.

I've been watching Northern Exposure. I'm up to season three, and so far. I've come to the conclusion all Joel does is whine.  He's probably the most annoying character in the whole damn show.

My granddaughter has been to the hospital and they are taking her back to the hospital today. I think she may need a drip to get some fluids back into her. I'll let you all know how we are getting along in the next couple of days. I can tell you I have a massive bloody headache from vomiting so much, and boy does my stomach hurt.

Update Time...

Okay, of late I have been a bit slack. I have no excuses, well none that really count, just the odd headache, cold, Dr app, JAG Marathon, Murdoch Mysteries Marathon...

In between those I have been doing edits on Admetus Gaea 1: The Gaean Prophecy... I've also filled in the BIF and sent back to Christie N at MLRPress.

I've also been working on The Connelly Chronicles 3: Because of You. I scrapped what I had and started again. a bit drastic I know, but I decided to go another way with the storyline. I think it will now fit with the series back story better.

I also had to update my windows as my computer stopped letting me do some things, and now that I've updated, I can once again get back into everything,

I have also been getting some of my reviews done and sent back in for the Rainbow Awards... there are some talented people out there.
