Last post for a while

Things are getting hairy at this point. To Do list still really long! Running out of time! Way too much to do over the next few days. Must stay away from computer.

My critique partner did give me some cool feedback yesterday, which is really helpful and not difficult at all to incorporate. At this point, I'm going to have to depend on my notebook and my Alphie to continue to do my editing work while I'm away, then use Sean's laptop once we're in BC.

I'll try to blog when I have a chance, but at my in-laws (where I'll be after Reno) they're on dial-up they share with their main phone line, so I won't really have much opportunity. My brother-in-law does have a cable connection, so while I'm visiting him (to help our niece buy her kitten) I'll try to beg some internet time *g*.

Hope everyone has a great couple of weeks. And to those of you who'll be in Reno - hope to bump into you there!

Off for breakfast now - fresh muffins. Yumm!

Early morning blog

Yesterday was nuts! Busy at the office most of the day, then at the gym, then dinner, then a walk. Phew - needless to say, I got NOTHING done on my ms. Having a critique meeting this afternoon, so have to squeeze some writing in this morning. Hence the early post.

George woke me up at 6am!!! So I took advantage of the beautiful morning to go for another walk. Am already feeling summer slip from my grasp - must take every chance I can to enjoy the warm temps and sun.

The other thing I did last night was make two lists - one of things to DO before leaving on Tuesday. The other was a list of things not to FORGET! The list of things to do is pretty scary - some are easy, but others are more time consuming. Oh well. First on my list this morning is to clear out my AlphaSmart, so I can take it with me. Alphie's gone to two RWA conferences and it's amazing to get home and just dump my notes into my computer, ready for printing :-)

One thing I get to do in Vancouver is go kitten shopping with my niece! It will be fun. Just have to remember NOT to kitten shop for myself - George would NOT be amused *g*.

Must continue to mull over my pitch in my head. I know if I stay calm it WILL go well :-) I love this story so much - even when it frustrates me. Rewriting scenes has been interesting. I have a better sense of my characters now, so in some ways it's easier to layer in the emotion etc, especially for Cecile. Her voice has always been much stronger - does anyone else find that? Their heroine is more cooperative and easier to hear? Hmmm.
