I finished To Do List this weekend and I found that it’s releasing on December 11!

This means in the Sven 70 Days Challenge so far I’ve written 111,000 words!. This makes me very happy because during this time I had a writerly wallow and crisis of faith but I kept writing. In the last 70 days I also edited four books and did print galleys. I wrote and finished: Wolf Unbound, Celebration for the Dead, To To List, Reading Between the Lines and I started and/or revised and edited Reading Between the Lines, Fire and Rain, galleys for Sleight of Hand and Chased and several projects for my agent. I’m also currently doing revisions for Stripped for the What Happens in Vegas anthology which comes out from Spice in May of 08!

After revisions, I have some options but firstly I’ll probably do some sample chapters for a project Megan Hart and I have planned. If I don’t have to do the chapters on that, I want to revise and expand Second Chances once I get my rights back (later this month) and then finish up Standoff, the last Cascadia Wolves book which is due at the beginning of next year but I’d rather just get it done and not have the deadline hanging over me. I prefer to finish things early if I can, it’s a thing, I know.

I have a sore throat and Morrigan is sick too. I’ve been waiting on her in her little nest on the couch as she watches The Little Mermaid and yells orders at me in her little stuffed up voice. Every year like clockwork, the beginning of school plague. I’m determined to resist so I’m chugging tea and taking all 800 of my vitamins and trying to eat as healthily as possible. My middle kiddo resisted it thought I was worried at the end of last week, he broke through this weekend and D is happy and healthy and chattering about Pokemon.

I picked up, and then tossed down three different books this weekend but did love the Mandy Roth books I read on my laptop. I also read a few Michelle/Mandy books and it gives me hope that dual author books can work. They work really well together.

Ironed eight million things for all my charges and there’s still more laundry. Good lord I hate laundry. However, there’s something about the mindless repetitive movement that helps me plot and get past story blocks so that’s always a good thing.

I’m all registered for RT in April and I’m talking to Frauke about designing some stuff for me to promote the Spice anthology. It’s all very exciting. We’re planning a fun workshop/reader appreciation party with swag and snacks - me, Anya Bast, Cynthia Eden, Megan Hart and Ann Aguirre. It’s on Friday so keep that in mind.

I missed Rock of Love on Sunday!!! Writing comes before television of course and I wanted to finish the book. But now I don’t know who got sent home. Was it crazy Lacy, questionable taste in clothing Heather or One S Jes? Did anyone watch? I need to know. - ETA - thanks for the info - Crazy Lacy got sent home. Now it’s one S and questionable taste in clothing left. Who will win Bret’s heart and his horrible fashion sense?
