A surprise waiting in my INBOX
Another exciting moment! My cover for Believing Is Trusting arrived yesterday. Jinger Heaston has done a yummy job. Since Bacchus is the hero for this story, the grape vines are perfect and I love the bright lime green...or should I say green grape. As for the couple, damn I hope my story comes across half as hot as the three of them!

A week in review
So my word count for this week isn't as good as I hoped. I started off well, which I think has saved me a lot of discouragement. My day job robbed me of most of my writing time this week but as of now I am almost commitment free. I have one short article on sustainable farming to write and then I am free. Free to write on what I want to write on and not what I have to write on. It's a nice feeling.
I'm very lucky. For the most part I love my day job, and I love being an Author. Who else can say that they have two jobs they enjoy?
Everyone once in a while I have to remind myself that, because it's very easy to get pulled into the miserable vortex of store gossip and corporation complaints.
This coming week I am aiming to regain my lost words, as you might have noticed I have not been keeping up with my Monday Muse Challenge. That is going to change as I am going to use the challenge to keep my NaNo word count going. I'll post as I go but what arrives on the blog, may not make it to the final draft.

AND WE'RE OFF!!
Big day today! National Novel Writing Month has launched at 12:01 this morning. I was in a bit of a rush to finish my edits for Believing Is Trusting in time. I didn't want to start the month already behind. That is never a good thing. But those have been sent off and will be awaiting my editor when she arrives in her office tomorrow morning.
Currently I am stitting at 1,457. Not a bad start, I would like to get a couple hundred more words in there before I go to sleep tonight. Tomorrow is my day off so if I can get a couple K buffer, that will be nice as well. *G*
