Tag: furlough

I’ve been super busy. I finished the 80s! Or the photo albums from the 80s. The 90s box is out. I’ll probably tackle some of them tomorrow.

My middle daughter and I went to the farmer’s market. We wore face masks as did all the vendors. We even had some vendors who had double wide tables to keep customers further away. Our Jam lady and our cucumber guy were happy to see us. I’m excited for fresh local produce again.

The phrase – going to – has become my nemisis. Apparently I use it a lot in my writing and I’ve been cleaning up manuscripts and I hate this phrase now.

Last night I did a great one. I’m on the read through part of my Wayfarer novels. So I started Immemorial. I was hoping to get all the way through it. I was getting into the groove but I kept thinking – I thought I changed this. I dug out the manuscript with the edits and sure enough I had. I went looking and discovered two files for the same book in the folder. So I’d gotten a third of the way through. Now I would have just discarded but I liked some of those changes. So I stopped last night and this morning came to my double screened computer and worked on a compare in Word which helped me work my way through. Shortly I’ll be reading through the rest of it. I hate when I do dumb stuff like that.

This morning I made bacon for breakfast while my daughter made biscuits. We had jelly (yup from our Jam lady) on biscuits with bacon. It was good.

I’ve updated two of my Ava books – new edits and new covers! Eaten by the Wolf and Big Bad Wolf Tames Red both have been updated. I love the covers!

I spent minimal time on Facebook to check on my groups and such. This is the extent of my social interaction today. I’m totally okay with that.

It’s raining so that means I’m aching. I’ll go to the recliner, cover up with a blanket, and work on reading Wayfarer books!

How’s your Sunday?

I finished five photo albums! The pictures have been scanned and uploaded to Shutterfly for the family. The 70s are done! At least the box marked with the 70s is done, whether they were in there or not. The next box is the 80s and only has three albums in it. There may be another 80s box but I’m taking the stance that there are only three until I find another box marked 80s.

Wayfarer novels have all had the edits accepted! Next step – read through all of them. I’m also working on re-writing the blurbs. I think there’s three more steps to get through – reading, formatting and uploading. Progress made and will continue to be made.

This morning I spent time answering emails, setting up arc reads for my arc group, and setting up posts for my book tours and interviews. I have one more interview but I’ll set it up tomorrow to come out in a couple of days.

I have some marketing to do and Facebook to deal with but then I’ll be reading Wayfarer Immemorial. I’ve started reading this four times and gotten sidetracked. Mostly because I’ve started it when I’m tired.

Tomorrow I’m venturing out of the house but only to go to the farmer’s market. We will be practicing social distancing and wearing masks. Plus we’re going early to hopefully avoid the crowds!

I’ve got a general routine which I’m trying to stick to so I can accomplish as much as possible. Fingers crossed I’m super productive while I’m on this furlough.

Oh – picture at the top is of me in 1968.
