Too Many Things

Hmm. Combatting the phenomenon of having WAAAY too many things going on in my life. lol. Both a blessing and a curse! I have noticed that when it gets past a certain point I sort of freeze - and then have to remind myself to just get things done one at a time and it will all sort itself out. Which it always does.

There have also been a lot of changes in my life and in the lives of people around me lately - people getting laid off, new jobs, new puppy, things in the house break and need fixing, spring is coming so we need to de-winterize the yard, garage sale next Saturday, need to do some crits for my critique group, submit my next book to my editor, blah blah blah.

Woo, I'm tired just typing it. :-)

Advertising, Promo and Reviews

I am waiting on my publisher to let me know what they do regarding advertising, promo and reviews so I know what they do and don't double-do something. I am interested to see what's what.

In addition, I guess they help you build your ARCs if you're going to submit to somewhere like the Romantic Times Magazine (RT). Am waiting to hear on that. Hopefully they do so I can have someone walk me through it - then next time I'll know what to do.

Romantic Times

So I am thinking of taking advantage of a New Author deal that the Romantic Times offers. For a much smaller fee than usual, they do a "spotlight" on you and also get you a review. Which is SO nice. So I am pulling together my package for them, including a headshot. Biggest challenge is trying to get a headshot done where I don't look tired, lol. I have way too many things going on in my life to sleep enough. On the bright side, it's all good stuff and I can't complain!

My sister

My sister Amanda found me on MySpace. Totally hilarious to see how different we are based on our myspace pages. I love her to death. But I suspect the only thing we have in common is a love of Nine Inch Nails and black and the rest is simply that I adore her. :-)

Anyway, we linked up and I'm so happy to have another way to keep track of her and be updated on her life. Yay!!
