It was a milestone for me this weekend!  I received my copy edits for Play for Me last Tuesday and I finished them a day early and sent them in on Sunday. The editor has such great ideas and suggestions. I really appreciated them.

I am working on my next book, doing research and such. I am at the library again. Even though it is a school day, there are tons of college students here who have taken the tables with the electrical outlets.  Also, there is a reading program going on for toddlers. Some have escaped, but I don't understand why the library personnel doesn't reprimand the parents of screaming toddlers. People come ot the library to work. Next time, I will bring ear plugs.

Since I majored in music, I cannot listen to music and write. I have tried but I listen to every note, chord, transition and find myself so wrapped up in the music, I can't concentrate on my writing. Which is why I come to the library because someone is always listening to music in our house.

Crazy weather around here. We've been having spring temps; in the upper 60's and 70's. My outside plants are very confused.....the daffodils and tulips are coming up....in January?

First off, Happy Birthday to our cousin Kristin! Also well wishes to cousin Paul who had a heart attack on Friday. He's only 48!  I hope he is doing well after emergency surgery.

So today, I was all ready to get down to work when McAffee decided to run a scan. I usually do it on Mondays, so why today? I cancelled the scan and then it decided to do updates. Let me tell you, it really slows down my computer. Waited that out and then Windows decided to run updates and needed to reboot the computer. So, I asked if this was a sign from God that I should be doing something else?

It is a beautiful day outside with temps in the upper 60's. I think I will take a walk to take advantage of this nice weather. Then, I will go back to work. I had some active dreams last night and jotted down some ideas for my next book.

Football today, though. Torn about the later game...we shall see!

Have a great day!

I finished the first round of edits this week. Very excited! Starting on my next book. I also am trying to work on two books that I wrote a couple of years ago even though they are a different genre. I am using my new found skills and polishing up on some bad writing habits I had.

Celebrated my husband's birthday. I always like to go out to dinner.

Weather here has been crazy. It was 74 on Friday and I was wearing shorts. Today is a mere 29 and not getting above 45. Back to jeans and sweaters. My poor plants are so confused. My pansies are dying and my tulips and daffodils are coming up. I want to push them down and tell them it's not really time yet!

I am sitting in the library finishing my first round of edits for Play for Me. I find if that I can reserve at least two hours of "me" time, I can get these done.

I have Mondays off, so I can get out of the house, away from the washer/dryer, vacuum cleaner, other books I'm reading and give Play for Me my undivided attention.

Took a break this weekend and saw The Hobbit. I thought it was good. Lots of action.
It's been a quiet week...no company, no drama. Now that I've posted that, things will change!

Wishing everyone well!  Back to the edits!
