more work--oh joy!
The Sears repair guy just left, so this is the first chance I've had to get on the computer today. Well, I could have gotten on before he got here, but what's the fun of being on the computer if I can't check e-mail? And if the repairman had tried to call while I was online, he'd have skipped me for the day & I would have had to make another appointment. So, you know--this is my first chance to get on the computer. *g*A little nut fell off the pedal of my exercise bike, which is why the repair guy had to come out at all. Thankfully, the bike still works & doesn't seem to be at any risk of dying on me in the very near future, but it does need new parts. So he's going to order those, then come back.
While I was waiting for the repairman to come, I made the mistake of starting to clean. Yikes, what what I thinking?!? I just wanted to move a couple of things, but now it's completely out of control. It's going to take me months to get everything put to rights again. :-p At least it was fun cleaning, tho...I was organizing books. :-D
Speaking of books, I think I might have made a mistake in picking up Janet Evanovich's Eleven on Top & Laurell K. Hamilton's Blue Moon at the same time. It never occurred to me, but both are written in first person & the main characters are starting to get a little jumbled in my brain. LOL When I'm in my office & pick up Eleven, it takes a minute to realize Stephanie Plum isn't hunting vampires; & when I'm upstairs with Blue, it takes me a second to remember Anita Blake isn't a bounty hunter. Both are good & I'm enjoying them, but I think I'll try to be more careful about coordinating my reading next time around. :-)
And, unfortunately, today's mail wasn't quite as fun as Monday's. Today's mail brought work with it. :-P The galleys for my November Silhouette Desire, BEDDED THEN WED, arrived & need to be proofed & returned by July 6th, I believe. But hopefully it won't take too long to get through; for the most part, all of my books with Desire have been very clean.
I hate having to stop what I'm doing to work on them, tho, because I just got started on FORTUNE'S FORBIDDEN WOMAN. But this is quite typical. And it doesn't have anything to do with Harlequin, lest someone think I'm complaining. No, no, it's called Murphy's Law. We (meaning writers) joke all the time that line edits & galleys & art fact sheets will always show up or be due at the very worst times--like when you're a week from deadline with 100 page left to write. But it's all part of the job, right?
And I'd better get to work!
