Titles

I've been pleased thus far with not having to change any of my titles. So when my editor explained that Cabin Fever had to be changed it threw me for a loop. I totally understand her reasons, but my mind went blank. That's what happens when I feel pressured. lol I racked my brain for anything I could pull from the story - nothing. The only thing from the story I could possible use was Mustang Love. Don't think she liked it that much and she shouldn't. Still waiting to hear if we can use the new title. I'm also assuming that since I'm working so hard on a title for a story that hasn't been contracted, one must be coming with the title change. Let's just say if I'm doing this for nothing, I won't be a happy camper! :o)

I wrote this morning. Only two pages, but it was more than I had yesterday. Today is a busy day. L has a dental and doctors appointment back-to-back. Originally they were a few hours apart, but she got an invite for a fun day of swimming, go-carts and a baseball game to end the day. Being a good mom I found a way to rearrange the dentist appt.

I have my own agenda for that too. It gives me an hour of waiting while she has a physical and cleaning, oh and lets not forget the shots. Waiting means time for editing. Woo Hoo.

Off to get ready to bring her to her appointments. Hope you enjoy this lovely day!

Busy, Busy, Busy

Finished my local writer's chapter newsletter for this month. Now to just staple and mail out these suckers! LOL Hopefully I can get back to editing His Submissive. I really want to submit it by last Friday, but that never happened. The goal is this Friday.

I sent my editor 13 title suggestions. She only liked one. Wait, she loved it! :) She's making sure it's not a duplicate before approving it, so until then....it's still Cabin Fever.

Today I need to help my oldest go open a checking account. After six long months he's finally found a job! YAY They require direct deposit, which is fine with me. N, has never wanted a checking account. I think at 21 it's about time. So, we'll go over and do that today.

My youngest has open house at her new school tonight. She'll get her schedule, locker and such. Welcome to the world of junior high. You know I love summer. Don't care for the other seasons too much, but I'm really looking forward to school starting again and getting my life back in order - whatever that is!

Happy Hump Day!

Trying to get thru the day

Went to the doctor's today. Was poked, prodded and just tortured. Currently all the tests are inconclusive. I'll have to return in two weeks for more testing. My fate is still undetermined. Frustrating to say the least when a doctor can't give you all the answers you need. So we wait. Did I tell you I'm not a patient person?



On the writing front, one of my editors will not move forward with offering me a contract until I change the title. It seems Cabin Fever has been used in the past. So I've given her one list which she didn't like. I'm in the midst of creating a second list, hoping she likes one of them.



Not much of anything else going on for me. I did post at Six Sexy Scribes today. Stop by and check out my first review of Talk Dirty to Topaz!

Oh and got notice edits for Heat Waves will be coming today or tomorrow! Fun, fun, fun!

Light at the end of the tunnel

I managed to do the revisions for Cabin Fever. Cut 8k from the story. It was painful, but I'm going to use it in another story. The edits for Chicken Soup were simple. Faxed that over. Now that's off my plate. I'm going to read Cabin Fever one last time before sending it to my editor.
Managed to get some words written on His Submissive, my short for Noble Romance. Gave myself a deadline of next Friday to have it to that editor.
Once those are done, it's back to Research Required, which is half done. I have a few ideas written in my handy dandy notebook.

One more day 'til Friday! YAY!

Revision Day

Enough of the slacking for me.

Yesterday I spent the day with the granddaughter. She's growing so quickly. I can't believe she's already 3 months old. We're having our first overnight Labor Day weekend. It's baby T's mom and dad's b-day, so grandma and grandpa are babysitting while they go away to NH for the night. This should be interesting. Haven't had a baby in the house in...well 12 years. LOL

I'm determined to get the revisions for Cabin Fever done and back in my editor's inbox by Friday. Hopefully she'll like the changes and contract it.

Received my short for Chicken Soup for the Soul: All in the Family in the mail yesterday. That needs to be edited and faxed back by Friday. Will get that done today!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday.

Enjoy the Hump Day Hottie!
