at least it’s finally getting better. I have this problem. See I’m stubborn. STFU, Amy. I mean even when I know something isn’t working, I still get all stubborn and I’m determined to get through it even though the logical thing to do is go around it for awhile.

But there’s that whole linear thing I have such a problem with…

So I was hitting a wall with The Darkest Hour. I mean like banging my head repeatedly against a 14 foot cement wall. I argued for a few days and got absolutely nothing done, sulked, whined and bitched. Then finally I did what I knew I should have done from the start, which was put it down and work on something else.

I wrote some scenes on one of the subplots for the book, and gee, imagine that. 10 pages in half an hour. Yeah, I know, I’m a dumbass for not doing that three days earlier.

There’s that whole stubborn thing at work.

So I’m writing, and at some point I’ll go back to the cement wall with some C4 and blow it all to hell :pffftt:

so I’ve been writing along on Ethan and Rachel’s story. Only last night I realize that the last 30 pages or so have to go. Away. As in they’re all sorts of fucked up and I have to rewrite them completely. I can barely contain my enthusiasm. :cursesign:

So yeah, I’ve got a lot written today. Too bad it’s not progress and it’s just me fixing what I screwed up to begin with. So in essence I lost a bitchload of time that I can’t afford to lose.

To that end, I’m going underground for the next two weeks. I’m hoping by the end of the month I’ll have blazed through a good portion of this story so that September can be spent figuring out if it makes any sense. :headscratch:

Try not to have too much fun without me…

Which I’m not sure why I’m so excited. I’ll be way more excited when the kids go back to school. Not that I’m counting the days or anything. :pray:

Headache is gone. Stress level is back down. Hope to resume writing, which has taken a big hit this week. This weekend, well again, WHY am I looking forward to it?? I have grocery shopping to do, back to school shopping to do, a house to clean, okay so it’s a shithole.

I think I’m going back to bed. :sack:

I think I’m going to need copious amounts of alcohol to get through it.

Oh, and before I forget, the new website should be going live soon. It’s a completely different look but I believe it’s more functional and easily navigated. Less confusing and focuses on what’s most important. The books!

I’m out of migraine medicine, out of refills. :sack:

Need more. Waiting on doctor to give more :pray:

Until the kids go back to school :worthy: This summer has gone by SO fast, and at first I thought hell, I’ve gotten nothing done, but that’s not true. It just SEEMS like it. I do look forward to having my nice quiet days back, though.

I love utter quiet and calm, and that’s just because with three kids and hubby at home, the TV is always on, there’s always fighting and bickering, loud play, rambunctious romping etc.

But during the school year, for seven whole hours, there is complete still. No TV (I never ever turn the thing on) no arguing, no conversation. I even resent the phone ringing, which rarely ever occurs. Isolationist anyone?

People wonder why I spaz when I go to RT or RWA. Well, there you have it. You throw someone who is used to isolation into a crowd of noisy, outgoing people, and meltdown is inevitable.

I’m finally writing The Darkest Hour. I love this story, these characters. I love this series. I just finished edits on Into the Lair which is another series I dearly love. Oh, and I also just turned in Desire book 2, which I titled The Tycoon’s Rebel Bride. :whoo: Such a perfect title for that book. I’m hoping I get to keep it.

Oh and in book news, I can tell you that there will be a sequel to Golden Eyes this next spring. Amber Eyes is the story of the “lost” sister Kaya who we learned a little about in Golden Eyes. You can look for that story in March from Samhain Publishing.

Conference was really terrific this year. People always have different things to say every year. Some people love it, others thinks it’s a waste of time, but in the end, it’s all about what you make it.

I will say I can’t wait for next year. I love Washington D.C. The hubby’s going with me this time, and one of my dearest friends on earth lives there, so I’ll get to see her :whoo:

I came home to a ton of work (nothing new) and the kids are going back to school in a couple of weeks, so there’ll be back to school shopping. I’m kinda looking forward to September heh
