Happy Friday!
We’re wrapping up the second week of August. It’s been a heck of a couple weeks with hot temps, lots of rain, first drafting, copy edits and a preview of fall temps. A little bit of everything this week.
The copy edits of the next Food Blogger mystery wasn’t bad so I got through them quickly and returned the manuscript to my editor on Tuesday. It’s such a good feeling to have that off my desk. Now, I’m waiting for the cover design and the proof pages. I can’t wait to see the cover since it’s a mystery set at Christmas. At the beginning of this month a course I enrolled in started and week two has wrapped up. Four more weeks to go and there’s so much information within the modules and could easily be overwhelming but I’m taking it slow and I expect to have to go through the course again to fully absorb all the info. I did have to set aside working on my first draft of another novel to work on the copy edits and this week I was able to get back my writing. I eased into the words slowly on Tuesday and I’m so happy to be back into the story. I missed it. I also missed my early morning writing sprints that I started when I began the book. At this point, I’m not sharing any details of the story. Hopefully, soon.
