Talking Taxes...

Well, I'm finally on top of the taxes... that's until the next lot comes in. I hope to god they get EOY 2015 over and done with soon as I hate dealing with all the bullshit that goes along with taxes. I feel relief seeing the bill paid but sad at how low my bank account is now looking.

Just A Quickie...

Just letting you all know I'm still ahead of the count when it comes the last 4 books I have planned for 2015... so I'm rather happy... I still have no clue what order I'm going to be writing the books in for 2016 but I'm giving it my all. I've even told my husband about the 2016 challenge and he says he has faith in me to get the job done... 2016 is definitely going to be my year. I will keep you all informed along the way as to how I'm going.

THE CHALLENGE HAS BEEN ACCEPTED

I was chatting with Penny Brandon and said that if I managed a certain word count every day - I think it was 2,138, then I could write 20 (40K) Novellas, and 2 (100K) Novels in 2016... so now that I have opened my big mouth the challenge has been set. I have no clue what order I will work on said books but I am going to give it one hell of a shot... Here is the list of stories I will choose from I've added the length and if I've done any work on them... This way everyone can keep an eye on me.

Inspiration ~ Lay Your Body Down

This is who I  picture as my new characters.

Houston, We Had A Problem...

Once again I've had to have my Surface Pro 3 fixed... This time around the Outlook email which my bigpond.com email is with decided to wipe itself out and leave me with nothing but a data file where I could receive emails but not reply to them... Totally sucked I can tell you...but $55 later and I'm back in business thanks to the lovely people at CUBE Computers in Gatton.

Onto Other things: I still haven't received Galley on The Lines Of Marsden 3: You Make Me Die In Pieces... hopefully someone from the MLRPress formatting department will get them to me soon 15 days and counting to release date.

Also I've been keeping on track with the project of getting my last 4 books finished for 2015 all up there will be approximately 210,000K written... So I'm limiting my time on all social media until December 31st.
