I worked on it on Sunday afternoon, before we went to an Oscar Party. It went really well, except I discovered that for this story my hero and heroine will each have a collage to themselves. Did most of the hero's one the other day (will photograph it soon and post it) and hope to do the heroine's over the next couple of weeks - need to by another piece of bristol board.
This is all pre-writing for the next book and the collage sparked lots of ideas. But I still need some more pictures and I've exhausted all the magazines/catalogues we have. So now I have to make time to get to a used book store to find more pictures. Really don't want to have to start cutting things out of my history magazine collection. Hmm, wonder if my mother has any Past Times catalogues sitting round her house *g*. They're FANTASTIC sources for my collages.
Ok - really, I'm going to try to get some work done now. Well, after lunch - I know I'll just get going and the front door will open.

Catching up and Getting Back to Work!
Arrgh - I LOVE vacations, but at the same time I think I hate them too. Even after only a couple of days, I feel so out of touch with everything. Have spent lots of time this morning reading through email, catching up on blogs and trying to convince myself that this afternoon I really WILL fire up WriteWayPro and start working on the changes to my synopsis.
But I'm also feeling incredibly lazy. Might be because I'm still tired after two days of skiing. I slept like the proverbial log last night, disturbed only by a purring kitty at one point. He REALLY missed us, poor baby.
But this doesn't help me get back to work. And I've tons to do. Am off to the Historical Novel Society conference in Salt Lake City in 6 weeks, then Reno in July for RWA National. I also need to take at least two days in the library to do a ton of research for the edits on my ms. Spent a lot of time inserting comments like [CHECK THIS] while writing the first draft and now actually have to check things!
I think I'm babbling *sigh*. And the dh will be home for lunch soon.
Anyone here have hints on how to knuckle down after a vacation?

I'm baaack!
We were off on a little ski vacation - had a great time. It snowed for some of the time, but that was fine. Of course, I'm rather sore now, having not skiied in a year. And stuffed full of good food.
Will go blog hopping now and see what's been happening while I've been gone :-)
