I plan on reserving Tuesdays for writing news of all sorts on this blog. Not just my news, but yours, too. So, tell me. What are you working on? Any good news to share? Have bad news and need a hug? The road to publication is filled with hundreds of ups and downs, and so is the road that continues after we sell that first book. Let’s celebrate and commiserate together.
My Good News is that I’m finally back to work on Sex, P.I.s & Packing Tape. I read the first several chapters yesterday, and, I have to say, I like me, I really like me! (Um, I mean, it. I really like it.) Now let’s see how long I get to work on this manuscript before an editor contacts me asking me to work on something else. Packing Tape has turned into my “between projects” manuscript, but that doesn’t mean it’s not deserving and a manuscript I love for itself. I do. But I’m at the mercy of the publication game just like any other writer. And, because I write under two names, sometimes that publication game can feel like a roller-coaster and merry-go-round combined. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Everyone have a great writing day today!
Yahoo! Great web presence. (And that chick on the front just has great presence.)
Great energy. Love the look of your website, Cindy. Hope great things come of it!

Thanks, Linda. That chick on the front isn’t a representation of me, in case anyone’s wondering. It’s really, really bothering her that I won’t say who she is yet. Maybe tomorrow. Heh, heh.
Website looks great, Cindy! Good for you for getting back to the WIP.
My good news is I finished the rough draft of my latest romantic suspense this weekend! Now I’m taking a much needed break to read and focus on the day job before I tackle revisions.
Wonderful job on your website, Cindy! Great to see you diving back into writing. Hey, so am I. 🙂 Way to go for being so productive on all fronts! ^5

Lexi, that’s excellent that you finished your rough draft. I’m not a rough draft person myself. Every time I try rough drafting more than a scene, it bites me in the butt.
Diana, high five back to you! After all the non-writing hard work I know you’ve done these past few weeks, here’s hoping getting back into writing is a breeze.
Hi, Cindy! I love your new web site! Great work! 🙂 As for writing, I’ve finally decided to back-burner the book that was giving me great pains while trying to finish plotting, and digging in to a new book. Hopefully by the time I finish writing this new book, I’ll have figured out what my problem was with the previous one. This is the first time in 10 books that I’ve had such an unidentified obstacle right out of the gate. Guess there had to be a first! 😉
Aw, Christina, I’m sorry to hear that. But you’re right, there’s a first time for everything, and the time away from the problematic story could very well be exactly what you need. Best of luck with the new story!
