Yippee, I’m having an excellent Tuesday. Last night I found out that BORROWING ALEX WON the Contemporary category of the From the Heart Romance Writers’ The Lories Best Published contest. The winners of each category now go to a bookseller for ranking, and the ultimate overall winner will receive a conference fee to RWA National or Romantic Times or a similar conference. How cool is that?
Other than that, I need to do page proofs (also called galleys or author’s alterations, depending on the publisher) for my Alter Ego’s December ’08 release. I want to finish writing a scene in my cindypk WIP first. But after that I better get hopping on the page proofs, because My Liege was very, very sick beginning Sunday night. He spent all yesterday in bed and bagged out in front of the TV. I’m hoping I don’t catch it. I have too much to do. Egad, can you imagine if I were going to Romantic Times this year? Where would I fit in the page proofs? I just learned about them on the weekend. If I were going to RT, I’d have been extremely busy these last couple of days. As it is, I don’t need to have them back to my editor until Saturday, which is very do-able, whether I get sick or not.
How’s everyone else? Good news to report? Yucky news? What are you working on?
I wish Fabulous Editor would tell me which idea she wants me to go forward with. Not liking this stagnant feeling. (Though it does leave me time to blog-surf.)
And woo hoo! on the WIN! Yay!
I hope the stagnant feeling ends soon! Why not choose one of the ideas and play around with it? Maybe you’ll get lucky and choose the same one she does. Or…come up with more ideas for back-ups or future books. Or…ahem…play with an idea for another publisher…just something to do while you wait? (You never heard that here!)
Yay, congrats on winning!!!
Thank you, Sara!
Fabulous!!! Congratulations.
