Thursday 13: Stuff to do!
I ‘m back! Didja miss me? Lie to me, okay?
Anyway, I’m back and I have a list of things to do to get settled in here. Wanna see it?
13- My office. I actually have one now! I have my desk in and my computer set up(duh) and my shelves in place but that is it. I want to paint the walls before I organize the shelves and stuff on the wall. I am open to color ideas. It is a small space, off the kitchen with hardwood floors, no window though. Hit me with your ideas.
12- Paint the entire inside of the house really. I have colors selected everywhere else though, from a toast brown to a light jalapeno jelly green (that is the actual name!!)
11- I want to finish edits on a massive contemporary that is the book of my heart to get ready for submission. I am almost there. Slow going right now, too much real life.
10- Heh, Did you know I am a mentor over on Romance Divas? Yup, I am. And my poor mentee has been drifting without anchor. until now. I finally stepped up and am doing my job and red inking all over her WIP. It has manlove in it!! I need Jake to drop trou pretty fast here. Not that I am, ya know, ANXIOUS or anything.
9- Speaking of manlove, I contracted my m/m/f menage COMING CLEAN to Carina Press as part of the Dirty Laundry series . Cade and Grant get frisky! yummo! I am looking forward to edits on them!
8- Edits, Yeah, I actually LIKE them. It means something is happening. I’m also waiting on edits for LIPSTICK ON HIS COLLAR, another steamy novella. Bram is just droolable, hands down.
7- I have a nice flowerbed with Crocuses here that someone let overgrow so bad it is shameful. I don’t know if I can save any or not it is so bad. But I am going to try. I want next spring to have it overflowing with daffodils!
6- I need a hair cut. I look like scary Walmart lady at 3AM. A brow wax wouldn’t be unheard of either.
5- Tweaks to the website. Have to get on those. *sigh* Anyone want to add a few hours to the day?
4- I am writing the final in the trilogy with Myla, Salome and Darach. DARACH IN DARKNESS is underway!!
3- Mail the taxes TODAY!! MUST DO!
2- I don’t have a microwave! Ours worked for one day at this new place then gave up the ghost. What is it with appliances and moving? They are worse than my preteen.
1- I have somehow misplaced my vehicle keys… like during the move. I really hope they are not 600 miles away on a counter. I keep looking and using the spare set.
BONUS!! I have a cover for Salome at Sunrise! Did you see it? I have to line up some more promo before her debut in MAY but I do love this cover!
I like edits too LOL. There’s something very satisfying about doing them
Take care and have a great Thursday.
Wow! That’s a lot of stuff going on!
The only suggestion I have for you regarding your office is this: since you have no window, why not put a painting or poster some such image (which you enjoy) up in a frame which looks like a window frame? Just a little something to fire the imagination, from time to time, and something which you can change out whenever you like.
Just a thought.
Happy TT!
ciao for now!
I love this stage of moving best. It’s like opening Christmas presents. lol I hope you find your keys.
I too look forward to edits. I love honing my craft to be a better writer.
Happy T13!
*sticks out tongue* Ha! you prolly thought I wouldn’t show up.
You are a busy bee, Inez!
And still loving the cover.
I so hate painting. I’ve hired a guy to tackle the entire inside of my house. That’s the gift to myself and my partner for the next several occasions.
I like edits and painting! LOL!
*hugs*

I missed you all right, but it has more to do with my computer woes than your move. Looks like you have more than enough to keep you out of action a bit longer. Get those taxes in, then do your best to get back to us.
Super lovely cover! And man you’ve got lots to do!
Boy do I wish I enjoyed edits/revisions – maybe I’ll get there.
