I’m working with the cover artist on the book while I wait for the proofreader to finish proofing.

Never Ends
This is going to be a weird day. I have people coming to take down two trees that are problematic, and I also have a guy coming to fix my garage door. (It will open, but it doesn’t always want to close.) Then after all that is done, I have a dental appointment this afternoon. What fun. NOT.
English Teachers Rock!
I’m putting the final touches on my WIP and getting it ready to go to a reader and then to a proofreader. You would think a former English teacher wouldn’t need a proofreader, but apparently this one does.
The Tax Man Time
Income tax. I’ve been working on it all morning. Sigh. Whine. It has to be done.
Back-Cover Time
I think I’m finally satisfied with the book. I’m waiting for a reader to get to it, and if she doesn’t find any big problems, then I can send it to the proofreader. In the meantime, I’m trying to write the back-cover blurb which can be harder than a 70,000 word manuscript.
Double Checking
Well, I had hoped I’d finish going over Home is Where Your Heart Is, but I’ve decided to go over it again. Still not completely happy with it. It won’t be long.
Polishing
I have finally been able to sit down at the computer and work on polishing the draft of my latest book. I hadn’t looked at it in about six weeks and I was good to see that I still liked the story and didn’t need to make too many corrections.
Getting on Track
Funny thing about holidays, they tend to throw you off schedule. I forgot today was Tuesday. I’m hoping I can finish all the chores I have to do before next week, so I can get myself back on track. I have a rough draft to start polishing.
Merry Christmas
You may have noticed that I didn’t post last week. I have an excuse. I was out of the country on a long-anticipated trip to Europe to take a river cruise on the Danube to visit Christmas Markets. What a wonderful way to get into the holiday mood. And while I was traveling, I got a terrific idea for another story.
We Were on a Break
I’m enjoying taking a break from writing since I did finally finish the draft, and I’m running myself ragged catching up with Christmas preparations. No resting, I guess. Will pick the book back up and polish and edit after the holidays.
