Have you ever?

Have you ever had the feeling of loss when you finally finish something you have been working on for over a year-- Do you feel like something is missing? Well, that's how I feel now that the taxes are finally done.

Though on the other hand I have had a very productive day... I redid my writing schedule for the rest of this year and next year. I also made a list of all my series and the books therein so I can cross them off as they are done... It'll make me feel like I'm accomplishing something.

I've also found out from my MLR Press editor Steve L that Experimentals: Blessed With A Curse has been sent to line editing... so I'm one step closer. Now I just have to wait and see what he thinks of The Lines Of Marsden: Living In Shadows... Hopefully it will get picked up as well. In December I'm hoping to also submit to him, Sons of Evenmore: Blood To Blood.

I'm also waiting to hear back from my beta reader: James A on The Gaean Prophecies: Admetus Gaea... Then it will be off to Cinder's O to see if she can pick up any holes.

What's the happ?

Today I'm happy to announce that the bitch of a migraine I have lived through and survived for the past two days has finally subsided to a dull roar.

Today I also heard from the amazing Steve L (my MLR editor) about Experimentals: Blessed With A Curse... Hopefully it'll be on it's way to the next person in line.

I'm also catching up on more taxes.. I pray I'm finally getting to the end of them all. I feel like I've been doing taxes forever and  a day.

Today I'm also working on The Connelly Chronicles: Beautiful Goodbyes. I'm trying to get chapters 3 & 4 finished.

Getting tattooed today & other news

I'm getting the last of this tattoo hopefully finished. when it is I'll put some pics on my blog so everyone can see the finished job of my tattooed sleeve. Today session is up near my left armpit and in the crook of my left elbow. I will be glad when it is finished.. and hopefully it will be fully healed by the time I get to Sydney for OzmmMeet. The only problem is today and part of yesterday I have a fricken migraine.

On other news: I have finished and sent to my beta reader James A. the first book in The Gaean Prophecies: Admetus Gaea. From there it will go to Cinders O, before I submit it to a publisher.

I'm now back working on The Connelly Chronicles: Beautiful Goodbyes. I'm hoping to have it finished before NaNoWriMo starts in November.

Losing my mind.


Have you ever had one of those days when you find the need to re-read and old WIP only to find myself so engrossed I've started tweaking what I have and written an then proceed to write almost to the quota I had set aside to finish this book in... though I may end up going over so that I can end the story in a believable spot.  I should tell you the story is The Gaean Prophecies: Admetus Gaea... and as by this picture you can tell it revolves around Faeries and Elven-kind (Elves) There are also other species in there that everyone will be familiar with. Though one said species I had to modify to fit with my species.

Here is a cursory blurb:

Grayson Gellespie: Finds himself thrust into the role as the saviour of a world he had believed was nothing but an imaginative story.

Jarkebb Arindad: The banished son of Lord Jondalar Arindad - ruler of the Elven-kind. he was sent out to find the saviour the prophecies foretold of.

Bailin Greer: Warrior of the Deepwoods Faerie Glenn has been tasked by the Lady to be the saviour’s eyes behind enemy lines.

Alone they will fail but once they combine forces they have the power to forever change the world in which they live Three stories woven together to tell the tale of the Gaean Prophecies... Apart from saving the world our heroes have to fight to claim their bond mates along the way.

Okay, I should point out this story is not M/M/M it's three couples who need to work together to save the world they live in.

Today I...

Today I'm supposed to be helping the hubs install the new air-conditioner for my office... but as per usual he got called away so god knows when he'll be back. He says a couple of hours.

Then I thought I would take a break from writing as well so I've been going through all the WIPS I have in my dropbox and make sure all is hunky-dory.

Yesterday I bought myself this awesome skull it is a human skull but has like werewolf teeth. My mum hates it so it must be good--but  she's in her 80's--LOL.

My sister gets here either tomorrow afternoon or Monday morning... not sure how long she is here for. I'll be busy writing and doing edits so I'll spend some of each day with her and some working--sounds like a plan.

What a fricken day I had yesterday.

<= This picture is just because I need something pretty to look at...

Yesterday I did a 10 hour round trip from my home to Woleebee Creek & back to pick up one of our worker and then that was followed by 4 hours sleep before I had to get up and start today--So not fun.

Though today in my inbox I had an email off of Reese Dante discussing my upcoming cover art for The Connelly Chronicles: Family Connections. I can't wait to see the final thing.

I'm so tired that I don't want to do anything and yet as the say "life must go on."  I don't even have time for a nana nap because I have so much on my to-do list today that I didn't get done yesterday.
