Tired

I am so wiped out. I’m at the point where the screen just kind of blurs in front of me and it takes me hours to edit one page. There will be fleeting moments where I can see through the fog and get some work done, and then they’re gone and I find myself rereading because I didn’t absorb anything.

The RT issue with the BBA review is at the printers. (I have to say that I think mailing out a listing of Feb. books in Dec. just doesn’t make sense to me. What good does it do to present books to readers over a month before they go on sale?) Anyway, I’m really, really :puke: over the fact that the review for BBA is done. Some days, like the day I got the email from Sue, I think, “hey! maybe it’ll do alright for a first book.” Then there are days like today, where I think I’m getting excited over nothing. As I wrap up this last book in my second Brava contract, I understand that I am now unemployed. Will BBA do well enough to garner me another contract? :neutral:

We have a pile of fortune cookies here at my house (we like take out Chinese :razz: ), and my daughter and I picked one today and opened it just for fun. It said, “Keep your expectations reasonable.” *sigh* Okay, hint taken.

I tell myself not to worry about things I have no control over. But I’m a worrier, I guess. And it’s so freakin’ dumb to be worried over book sales. Aside from promo, which I hear is dubious as far as helping more than name recognition, there’s nothing an author can do after a certain point. The rest is up to the publisher and the public.

My WIP isn’t going anywhere at the moment either, and my cp (God bless her) told me bluntly today that my last chapter was not my best work. (I hope if you have cps, you have ones who are as honest with you. I love it. Love her. She rocks.) So I scrapped most of it and am working on salvaging the rest.

Wish me luck, eh? :grin:

    I know. *sigh* I suck. I need to stop my bitching and be grateful. :oops: Too much work is better than no work.

    Haven’t you already discussed how overworked you are…. I could have sworn I saw that on a topic here somewhere.

    ;) it’s easy to overextend though. Between the kids, Christmas, writing, dealing with two … nope, make that three websites and a blog, it’s a wonder I can even remember my NAME.
