Monday Message
Monday, October 15th, 2007Well we had a good/bad weekend. Good in that my daughter had a fantastic birthday party. She got to laugh and giggle with her friends, eat junk food (which I happily supplied 
) and watched a movie. She got some very cool presents too. I think a good time was had by all. (And somehow I survived 7 screaming girls)
I also had my last RWAC meeting on Sunday. This was a fantastic presentation on Marketing for Writers by the very talented Cathryn Fox. As always, Cathy gave us tons of very practical information on how to get your name out there with readers. Thanks again to Cathy and her lovely assistant for pulling together such an enlightening session.
It also gave me a kick in the butt to run another contest! More on that tomorrow.
The bad part of my weekend came when my washing machine decided to stop working. Water flooded the laundry room and we spent forever getting it cleaned up. The kicker, the appliances are part of the sale of my house…and the new owners get it on Friday. *sigh* Couldn’t have lasted one more week…could it! Not sure what the new owners want us to do yet. We’ll have to see.
This week I’m going to take it easy on the writing. I might pick away at The Bond That Consumes Us (Taber’s story), but it won’t be anything hard core. With the big move happening this weekend, I want to keep the pressure off myself until things settle down. Plus I’m gearing up for NaNoWriMo in a few weeks. If you haven’t joined up yet, please consider it. There are a number of us who will be participating in the insanity this year, so join us for the fun!
Finally, I found out that today is Blog Aaction Day. This is a day for us to post about our concerns regarding the environment. I saw this video this morning on climate change. Now, normally I keep all talk of political things off this blog. But this man’s argument is such that I think it’s really worth spreading. Please listen to this with an open mind.
