Can you believe it’s the second week in October already? Jeez. Time flies faster every year, I swear.
HEAT OF THE NIGHT galleys go back today and then I’m done with the book. The next time I see it will be when it hits the shelves on January 2. Yay!
I started writing new material in MARKED 1 this weekend, even though I said I wouldn’t. 
Thing is, instead of forcing myself to work through the weekend, this time the problem was that I couldn’t force myself not to. I’m just too excited about it.
Since it’s been so long since I originally conceived the concept, I’ve spent the last year thinking, planning, plotting, etc. I had all these ideas of what it should/would be. (Plus, I had a couple ‘friends’ who said things that made me doubt myself and my direction.) But… awesome thing is, when I sat down with it again and started writing, the story took on a life of its own again. It will be what it will be, and I’m having so much fun with it! It’s the most difficult thing I’ve written, but also the easiest. I guess because I love Evangeline and her story, and at the end of the day, that’s the most important thing — that I wrote a story I loved and then shared it with readers.
I spent a lot of the weekend doing technical stuff with my sites, which I love doing. This week it’s all about tearing myself away from writing to clean my house. 
Writing is way more fun than cleaning, I must say.
Happy Monday!
