Recently I posted a blog entry regarding time management and my struggle with finding enough time in my days and nights to get everything done that needs to be done. I am sorry to report that things haven't improved in that quest. If anything, I have added more things to my 'to do list' instead of checking them off.
I will have an announcement soon about what has been going on, but I can say now that I am thoroughly excited and ready for this next chapter in my life!
There may some long gaps in blog entries for the next couple of months, but I promise I will update when I have some spare time.
My book signing went exceptionally well! Many friends and family stopped by to have a slice of homemade pie and buy a book! Everyone had a great time and I thoroughly enjoyed sharing my experience and journey with those who came. To date I have sold over 100 books since my release in late December, so I am very pleased with sales so far! I am also beginning to see royalty payments from Amazon and Kindle, so that, too, is exciting.
(I have tried to insert a picture of me signing books at my book signing here, but for some reason Blogger is being difficult this morning...so imagine me sitting there with a pen in my hand, happily signing away!)
Morning coffee and French vanilla creamer is my kick starter each morning. I am out of French vanilla creamer. This alone is tragic, but I CAN suffer through plain, black coffee if I have too. However, my hubby had some Almond Joy coffee creamer that he uses, so I decided to try it. Yuck. My 3/4 full cup of coffee is currently sitting beside me getting colder by the minute. I will have to find time to go to the grocery store and get my French vanilla sometime today.
(Another picture insert fail: Imagine me sitting here with a pouty face, staring at my nearly full cup of Almond Joy tainted cold coffee.)
I am working on my next book, "The Liars' Club: Town Hall Chapter" today. I haven't read at Writer's Guild for a couple of weeks, so I need to have something prepared for tomorrow's meeting. I am still struggling with character and storyline development. Maybe it is because I do have so many things on my plate right now.
Speaking of cliché's...I know, we weren't actually discussing cliché's but I did just type one out.
"...I do have so many things on my plate" in case you missed it...
Anyway, one of our Writer's Guild members brought a fantastic article regarding the over usage of cliché's in writing. It was a very cleverly written piece that was completely constructed using cliché's, however you didn't realize that it was written that way until you read through the first paragraph then the light bulb went on and suddenly you understand how easy it is to fall into that trap.
(Have you caught the cliché's I have included in my last paragraph?)
I need to get busy. My wet hair is drying into a ridiculous variation of my normal style and if I don't do something about it soon, I will have to start the whole process over again and quite honestly, I don't have time to be fussing with my hair today (or any day for that matter!).
Thank you for sticking with me to the end of my rambling. Hopefully, I will be more inspired to write something profound that will bounce around in your head for more than a nano second the next time I decide to sit down and update my blog. Stay tuned!
Happy Reading!
