Can you believe it’s almost October? I can’t. The last thing I remember is mailing off a ms in January and thinking I was going to take a month off of work. I was unemployed, no contracts, and I was going to take a little breather. A few days later my Brava editor bought three more books. Then I sold three books to Avon, and then three to Zebra. It hasn’t slowed down since.
The last two years in a row I’ve been under deadline at Christmas, and the last two years I swore I wouldn’t do it again. This year I’m under deadline for two books. 
LOL! Funny how that works out, huh?
But I’m having fun still, so it’s all good. 
Last night I was working on a story and it just flowed. I enjoyed the act of writing so much.
My mom is coming by today. She recently retired and we’re considering moving out of state. I’d like more land, a bigger house, and my mom’s help with the kids/dinner/laundry. Hubby was against the idea in the beginning, but it’s starting to grow on him.
I can’t believe it’s almost October either. I have a book due Oct. 1, a book out Oct. 13, and then three more books to write. I really hope I’m done or at least at a break during Christmas. Like you, I hate working over the holidays. I just want to drink hot chocolate and relax.

It always works that way. Hopefully the words will continue to flow and you will still be able to have a peaceful holiday. (Or as peaceful as you can have when you have to spend time with family)
