…by my mother for not posting on my blog. *g* 
I’ve had “story brain” the last 4 days, writing like mad and having fun, but staying up until 3 AM every night, then getting up with my kids. I’m tired. :yawn: So I’m not thinking up new stuff well.
ARCs for ASK FOR IT arrived yesterday (riddled with all the errors found in the galleys *sigh*), so I’ve been mailing them out to review sites. I sent most of my BBA ARCs to reading groups last time, and I’m not sure if doing so helped or not. As it is, with all the mistakes in these ARCs, I don’t think they would. Even though it says “Uncorrected Proof” on the cover, I don’t feel better.
What does make me feel better is my awesome editor who is working on her end to help me get things straightened out. Bless her.
I’m dieting. Started yesterday. Been hardcore, so I’ve lost weight already. Atkins. Melts off the weight. I’ve heard it works as well for some people, for others not so much. Pure protein fills me up like nothing else. I stay full for so many hours I have to remind myself to eat again. I also have a lot more energy, so I’m drinking about 1/4 the amount of coffee as I have been recently. I fell off the wagon about a year ago, I think. Maybe more. Time is just flying by for me. In a few weeks I’ll be in Daytona hanging out with my friends, and I want to feel good doing it. 
So I’m motivated.
I’m almost finished with my Avon novella for the March anthology. It’s gone through my cps, now it’s out with my test reader. Once she weighs in, I’ll send it off. It’s a departure for me in more ways than one. I hope it works for readers. Now that I think about it, I hope it works for my editor, too. We’ve never worked together before, and I went over word count. :shifty:
Anything new with you?
I’m on week 3.5 on Atkins. Cured my constant exhaustion and I’m losing weight. I went off Atkins when I was pregnant and nursing, so now I’m back at it.

Glad to hear you’re in writing mode! Is MY IMMORTAL out May 7th? Yikes, that’s like around the block!
God diets, what can I say, it seems every other month I’m on one! But I guess it’s better to be on top of things before you gain a huge amount of weight which would be harder to take off. Good luck on that front as well. :cheer:
