…I fantasize about having a PA. Someone to write witty blogposts, and let people know I am still around, just working really hard.
But since I don’t, and I still have to travel, write, do laundry, write, and scoop kitty litter, this will have to be my wave from deep in the writing waters. Yes…I am waving, not calling for help.
Back to back deadlines are hitting me hard and all those fun blogpost things have had to be set aside, along with podcasting. Yet I wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you I am indeed still here, just with my head down.
Hopefully, in the next two weeks I will be back on deck, breathing deeply, and very proud of myself for handing in two books in as many months. And then I will have hopefully some news I will be cleared to share with you. It’s been so full on this year.
As you all gear up for Nano, think of me…I am planning a No Nano this year. Yep, not working on a novel at all. Just short fiction, and polishing up a couple of new series proposals for my agent of awesome Laurie McLean to shop around.
On the game plan are some blogposts about what I have learned in these last madcap two years. (Yep, it is only two years since Geist came out!)
Until then…let me share with you my new friend. A lucky tiki I found at Goodwill. He was only 99c, but is a little battered, and lost his friend. I imagine he and his friend were bought from New Zealand by some holidaying Americans, as souvenir salt and pepper shakers. So, we found each other. Ex-pat kiwis, far from New Zealand, and no we are traveling companions. I plan on taking him to all my conventions, and maybe even back to New Zealand some time soon—just for a visit.
His new name, thanks to the unlikely event of us finding each other, is now #luckytiki
More stories from him when I return!
