Some Work, Mostly Play
Where does the time go? I aim to blog weekly, but August zoomed by. Did it zoom by for you all, too? I’ve been doing lots of playing, which has been a blast. Boating, hiking, shopping, movies, reading, you name it. But, I’ve been working too.
Yesterday morning, I met with a fabulous new writing friend at Starbies (my cutesy name for Starbucks). We drank coffee, gabbed about books, writing, and had a grand time. Did I really just say grand? My friend is married to an English guy and must be rubbing off on me.
Today, I finished THE TRUTH ABOUT FOREVER by Sarah Dessen. I absolutely adore her books and think about her characters long after the book’s over. She totally rocks. Can’t wait to read her next one.
I’m dying to read the 4th book in the TWILIGHT series. I need to pick that up. Did you all hear about the midnight bashes the bookstores threw when BREAKING DAWN came out? Apparently, a lot of wedding dresses were worn. Does anyone know if Bella married Edward? Don’t tell, just curious if anyone has the 411! Went to the SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS movie yesterday and saw the preview for TWILIGHT. No way I’m missing that when it comes out.
Lastly, I’ve written a few more scenes in ZOMBIE LOVE. It’s getting near the end (so sad!) and is so hard to wrap up. More and more keeps pouring out. Ah, well. I’m sure I’ll have to cut later. Although, Stephenie Meyer didn’t have to! Or maybe she did.
Hope you’ve all had a fabulous few weeks. Been balancing the work and play as well?
