Time for one more post on my weekend plans as part of the #100Days series. If you follow the blog, you know that I took a break after finishing up my recent run of books over the last six weeks (publishing Permanently Princess, Rush, and Ripple, and drafting Frannie’s story for Seaside Valleria 3 and handing […]

It’s the weekend! Now that I’ve finished up Rush and Ripple (Yay!), my weekend goals have shifted, at least for the next couple weeks. I won’t start writing my next book until July, which gives me time to catch up on ALL the things I set aside so I could finish the books. The pre-orders

Why am I celebrating today? Because I’ve just finished – and I mean FINISHED – the first two books in the Seaside Valleria series, Rush and Ripple! Whoo hoo! The pre-orders aren’t up yet, but they should be in the next several days. I’ll do a post when they are. So when are they releasing?
Today, I’m stating the obvious… I’m an author. I think about author-related stuff several times over the course of a day. Sometimes it’s about the menial tasks any business owner needs to do (because being an author is a business) like accounting and other admin. Other times, it’s about the stories swirling in my head.
In keeping with my recent posts on self-care, here’s a Tuesday Reminder: Sometimes it seems like a constant struggle, doesn’t it? Reaching for that glimmer of happiness, grabbing it and holding it tight before it disappears again. Yesterday was a good day, a great day, in fact. I finally finished testing the Rush ebook (hurray!)
Today I argue that procrastination can be necessary for progress. Last week was tough. I’ve learned when I have those sorts of weeks that I need to take time for self-care. But… What about the book? What about the publishing date I have in mind? What about this? What about that? I need to work,

Though the weekend’s nearly over, here’s a glimpse at my goals and progress. Right now I’m focusing on Rush and Ripple, the first two in the Seaside Valleria series. I’ve finished edits for both and now it’s time to test the ebooks and finalize them! I want to release BOTH this month (eep!) but I

Well, that Saturday didn’t turn out how I hoped… I’d planned to spend my only day off this weekend from the day job (Saturday) working on Rush. Well, it turned out I needed to work the day job some on Saturday, too, throughout the day. That meant I couldn’t really get in ‘the zone’ for
The Best Laid Plans… Read More »
I love weekends…usually. This weekend is a little different because I have to work the day job on Sunday. It’s rare we need to work weekends, but it happens a few times a year and this is one of them. That means I only have today to work on author stuff. I’m going to focus

Today’s starting off on a good note… I am SO excited because Seaside Valleria 3 is off to my editor! Whew! This is off to my developmental editor, which could take a month or more, so I’m not expecting to work on it again July (I’m hoping for an August release if everything goes well).

I may not be there yet… My word count yesterday was atrocious for Seaside Valleria 3, but I did manage to get some words on the page and some editing done. Time to focus, focus, focus! What are you working on this weekend, or what fun plans do you have? Comment on this post and
