Today marks the beginning of a new era in the Cheryl Brooks saga. I have simply GOT to start writing again! I've been blogging constantly for the past two months and getting very little work done on Renegade. I hope the promotions for Fugitive were effective, but I won't know for sure until I get my royalty statement, which, if I remember correctly, will be arriving in late April. Aside from the blog tour, part of the reason I haven't been doing much on Renegade is that was that I wasn't completely sure my editor wanted it. Knowing that a contract is in the works helps enormously, but I still have to buckle down and do it.I came up with a great idea while I was sitting in the INRWA meeting on Saturday, and fortunately, I had a pen and paper to write it on. I tried writing a little bit on Saturday night, but by the time I had caught up on all the emails and blogs and such, I edited the last few pages a bit and wrote maybe two lines of new dialog before conking out. This is NOT a good trend! Granted, I have until the end of June to finish it, but during that time I also have to work and go to Myrtle Beach and the RT Booklover's Convention.
Speaking of RT, Last year's Mr. Romance, Charles Paz, is apparently expecting me to "find" him and give him a big hug, so that's one thing to look forward to in Columbus this spring, but aside from that, I'm hearing that the convention is one big party and I am so NOT a party animal! I do try, however, but I do best when I'm among friends. In a big crowd like that, I tend to disappear. And for the record, I am NOT dressing up as a Zetithian. That would require a complete body, face, hair, eye, and ear makeover, which I don't think I'm quite up to.So anyway, I will be writing more and blogging less in the coming months, with the result that there will be more books for you ladies to enjoy, so I'm sure you'll understand. The blogs will still go up daily, but forgive me if I don't check in quite as often. Any hunks, stories, or recipes you ladies care to send me to post will save me a lot of time and will be greatly appreciated.
Oh, yeah, right. . . . It's Monday. What the devil is wrong with me? I almost forgot the moons!
Enjoy your Monday!
