Done!

So, it took me longer than expected, but I am finally done.

I'm going to breathe for a couple of days, and to all of you who have sent emails with questions and such, I'll be getting back to you either tomorrow or the day after.

The last thing I want to do right now is write anything.

=)

Happy writing to you all!

Silence is golden

I'm still working. Still whittling down the word count and polishing scenes.

Just wanted to let everyone know I'm still around.

Manuscript 1 (the regency) is already on the editor's desk.

Manuscript 2 (the contemporary) is getting ready to fly out of my hands and into hers. (Well, I'm getting ready to chuck it really, really hard out of my hands).

Hopefully, next week will have a semblance of calm and I'll be able to post some stuff. When I say that I have been 24/7 consumed with the book, I mean that literally.

It'd be nice to see daylight again.

On the Cusp of Something Wonderful

I'm wondering if I'm alone in the sentiment. I find, now that my dreams are finally actualizing in front of my eyes, that I'm getting cold feet.

I mean the kind of "hitch up your wedding dress and run far, far away from the altar" cold feet. (For the record, I did no hitching or running on my wedding day . . . just throwin' that out as an example).

Many times over the past few weeks, I've thought about setting the pen down, never to pick it up again. It's one thing to write for my enjoyment, but do write my little stories as a job?

Shudder.

I know I'm whining, and I'm really trying not to, but I feel rather poised on a precipice . . . and one wrong move (or adjective--if you will) could send me tumbling down either side.

Hmm.

Just a thought for the day.

Quote of the Day

"Many suffer from the incurable disease of writing and it becomes chronic in their sick minds."

--Juvenal (lived 60-130 AD)

HaHaHa . . . how funny, and yet sadly true.
