In hiding

So I have to admit, now that my holidays are over, I will miss them dearly! My only goal for last week was to hammer out as many words that I could and be able to read without interruption. Now you’re probably sitting there thinking to yourself “Out with it woman! What was the result?” Well this is what I managed to walk away with:

• Novella titled Hellbound is in its final chapters of the 1st draft being completed
• Short story titled Karma (hoping @TheWritersDen will like it!) – just checking it over for the 10th time before submission to The Campfire Page
• Read Stakes & Stiletto’s by Michelle Rowen in 1 day (a must read!)
• Read Tall, Dark & Fangsome by Michelle Rowen the next day(a must read!)
• Started reading Frostbitten by Kelley Armstrong (a must read!)
• Spent an obscene amount of time on Twitter
• Cooked dinner everyday this week w/the exception of my birthday on Friday
• Some housework and spend $0 money (hubby was impressed w/the money part)

So as you can tell, my week in retrospect was spent in solitude, but I LOVED every moment of it! Yes I was busy too, but it was a relaxing busy. I’m only hoping when I go back to work tomorrow that it will be a relaxing busy too, but it’s not likely to be.

As soon as the 1st draft to Hellbound is complete, I plan on going back to my Novel and start rewriting it. I’ve been carrying some guilt for sometime now, as I’ve ignored it for so long. Plus the desire to get back to my beloved characters, and their stories are dying to be told. This book will be the 1st of three that I have planned. Hopefully the rewrite won’t be as painful as I’m expecting it to be. I will probably post a brief blurb on my Works In Progress page about Hellbound and my untitled novel. I’m thinking, I’m going to have to finally give it a name, but it’s so damned hard. I’ll figure something out eventually. *sigh*

 Well I should probably get some writing done before I go pick up the hubby from work. Oh wait, I forgot, HAPPY THANKSGIVING CANADA & HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY to my American friends.  Oh, another thing, if anyone has any suggestions on chapter books that a  6yo old girl would like please leave a comment as to what your recommendation is. I’ve been trying to find something that would spark her interest but I’m falling short of ideas and the closest Chapters bookstore is 4 1/2 hrs away…I know, that royally sucks!

Ok ok I’m going now! So as usual, please feel free to leave a comment or if you’re in the mood to trying twitter just look me up. I’m always happy to tweet with some new people and I follow some really great writers and interesting people alike.

Cheers,

Layna
