Late to Bed, Early to Rise

I became accustomed to staying up late during the long winter break at my kids’ school and now I’m finding myself really dragging-tired in the mornings. *ugh*

In funner news, ARCs for Pleasures of the Night arrived yesterday. They’re unlike any other ARCs I’ve ever had before. My previous ARCs have been covered in a thick newsprint-type generic cover with basic sales information on the front (title, my name, ISBN, price) and nothing on the back.

My PotN ARCs are a bright Chinese red (maybe because they’re “Avon Red”s?). The covers are thick and glossy with a blurb of the story on the back, as well as quotes from Susan Grant and Booklist, plus my website and MySpace addys. Verra nice.

I also got coverflats for Passion for the Game and Perfect Kisses. They are also verra nice. *g*

I’m presently “binge” writing, which basically means I’m typing as fast as I can and not reading backwards. I have to do this occasionally when I fall into a 2-3 page a day rut. It’s been fun so far. Hope to finish soon and then spend time tweaking/fixing. :)

It’s Friday! Yay! I look forward to the weekends. Don’t we all? Do you have any plans?

  1. I’ve seen some odd looking ARCs in my time. The last one had stickers, rectangle stickers, all over it with different sayings. “This book is NOT to be sold.” “This book is NOT the finished product.” yada yada yada. :)

    This weekend? All I have planned besides writing is sleeping in tomorrow. Oh how I love to sleep in. sigh…


  2. Writing twenty pages a day for the next three days. *ggg*
