I'm Still Here

Can I just say: moving takes a lot out of a person. I've been moved for two weeks now and my brain feels like a giant puddle of mush. It seems like it's only been a couple of days and then I'm all "AHH! My blog is so neglected! I'll post something soon!" and then I'm all mushified. (Why, yes, mushified is a word. *adds it to dictionary*)

Then yesterday I got hit with some virus or something. My head feels like it's stuffed with cotton and I'm achy and my voice is all funky. Basically, if i hadn't already felt like a giant puddle of mush, this would have made me feel that way anyway. Huzzah. ;)

I have been doing a ton of editing. And rewriting. And more editing. And some plotting. And did I mention editing? I've been working on two different novels--the one that I said I was going to self-publish has been passed off to my final editors and as soon as I can decide on how to approach the cover, my wonderfully amazing artist friend is going to work on the cover art. My goal it to have this sucker published by the end of July or sometime in August. It's kind of hard to think right now. O_o  I've also been working on rewriting/tweaking one of my other novels so I can start writing the sequel in July.

In July, I plan to be writing like crazy. My goal is to get half of my next book written. I have several writer friends who are joining in with their individual goals--some writing books, some doing rewrites or whatever else they've been wanting to do. I find it incredibly helpful to have people working on goals side-by-side with me--it gives me a good push and holds me to my goals and allows me to encourage others to stick to their goals.

Do any of you have writing plans for this summer? What are you working on right now?

I have a list of writing topics I want to discuss on my blog, and I am going to do my best to get one written and posted within the next few days. I'll be back soon. :D

Some news and another heads-up on a contest.

Remember how I said I've been very distracted (re: a bad blogger who still hasn't updated her world-building series) because of many things, including trying to move back to Tennessee? Well, that's stepped up a notch, because I'm moving in fifteen days. O_O  I didn't know this until yesterday. We knew it could happen really fast, and I'm super excited, but I have so much sorting, organizing, and packing to do. Most of my day today is going to be spent organizing things for a very fast yard sale tomorrow. If at all possible, I'm going to squeeze in my world-building update during lunch, after I sort through all the books on my shelves.

But just as forewarning: my blogging over the next few weeks is likely to be sporadic. Thanks for hanging in there with me!

For now, here's a shiny contest that the lovely Becky Taylor is having over on her blog to win a $50 Amazon gift card. Check out her blog--she's fantastic! Becky Taylor's Amazon Contest
