This is definitely one of the Monday-est of Mondays. After four days off, I'm catching up on things; laundry, emails, and of course, writing. I took my computer while we were having Thanksgiving fun, but only got on it long enough to order a couple of things and then was off again. This week sees me starting at nearly the halfway point for the manuscript I'm currently working on and ideas flooding with another. Yeah, it's going to be fun keeping my thoughts straight for the next couple of days.
Since I missed it Friday, I'll be releasing What Brooke Read this coming, so be on the look out.
Have a great one!

Because last I checked, it was still the beginning of November.
I swear, the older I get, the faster each year seems to slip right through my fingers. All the books I want to read. The ones I want to write and publish for the world, sometimes I wonder if I'll ever have enough time to share them all. Pictures still to take, like getting a spring one of the image above and of my children. The exploring I want to do and the peace I want to find are what consumes me most of my free time.
I don't have much to share with you this week other than moving onto a different book really helped out my slump. 18K words into this story and I feel great about it!
I hope you have a great week.

Okay, I'm going to be honest, I gave up on my free-for-all book especially considering I already have a sort of rough draft of the book done. I wanted to do something different but couldn't for the life of me change that direction.
Instead, I decided I'll use what I have and when I do second drafts and my own edits, I'll make my changes then.
With that set in my mind, I moved onto my next book and watching my favorite anime while doing it. This book will include a certain old lady I introduced earlier this year and will make more of an impact in future books.
This week, I had hoped to read more. I'm currently trying to devour both Princes of Ash by Angel Lawson and Samantha Rue and Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros. It's really difficult trying to read both when you can't put either down, but on top of that, we have a mouse family.
So, it was taking apart the house and cleaning all weekend and then finding out we got momma but there are still babies running around. Ugh. So, needless to say, I haven't accomplished anything over the weekend except maybe a couple of chapters of both books.
I plan on writing today, but first, I'm going to go check on my dad. He had surgery this morning and haven't heard back yet.
Have a great week!

Chaos.
That's about the only word I have for this work in progress. And that's okay. At least that's what I'm trying to convince myself of. I'm usually a woman with a plan, but this book isn't working out like that. I'm going off completely random with this book and doing my best to tell myself it's okay, that's exactly how I wrote My Cowboy.
I don't have much to share this week, so I'm going to leave you on this. Have a great week.
