I’m doing pretty good on my goals. I quit smoking. almost three weeks now, but I’m not going to kid myself. I will smoke at National.

I sold my L.O.S.T. series, or the first two books anyway, and am working on another proposal (must keep my name out there).

I haven’t lost the weight I’ve wanted to lose, but I am walking regularly.

Congrats on all the great releases ladys!

I am so far behind with everything. It has been a year of trying to catch up. I am almost done with my summer reading program and have been doing prep work as I go. The plans were in my head and finally on paper, but not as soon as I normally do. Was working on a remodel and reorganization of the children’s room at the library at the same time. Since we moved into what was a storeroom/program area, I am still having to deal with all that. By Dec. I will probably be where I should have been in June. Unfortunately, my house is in the same shape. What I need is for everyone to be gone and to lock myself in for about a week.

*sigh* Must hit bookstore now.

Goals? I’m getting there. FAERIE FATE is done and I have my release date for April, 2010 so I can start planning marketing strategies while I finish edits on FAERIE FIRE and get it back to Ms. Editor.

Between now and Thanksgiving, I hope to have many agent queries out (and returned with offers! *crosses fingers*) plus getting my urban paranormal (yes, I created my own subgenre – lol) and romantic suspense novels revised and polished to be represented when that dream agent calls.

And cut the TBR pile in half. Ya’ll stop releasing books, ‘kay?!?

Not quite on track, but aiming for end of August to be where I want to be.

I love the Wii Fit. Lost 4 pounds so far.

Reading Toni’s book. Awesome.

Love Heather’s cover. Cool

Loving life. Yeah!!!

I’m behind on a couple of goals (especially working out consistently… I’m still too sporadic). Writing-wise, I think I’m close to what I thought I’d be. Family wise, doing better–had a lot to get done the first half of this year. Had a son graduate as a firefighter two weeks ago, too, so that’s really super.

And *thank you* for the mention for the books. I have my MSW list and I am hitting the bookstores tomorrow. Fingers crossed for everyone that it’s a great week.

Congrats to all on the new releases!

I’m meeting my writing goals, although my career goals (which are more like ‘dreams’ because I can’t really control them) aren’t progressing the way I’d hoped. I made some tough decisions, but I think they were the right ones, even though they shoved me back along the trail.

Real-life stresses, like tomorrow is hubby’s last day being employed, and we’re trying to sell the house in an impossible market — they tend to drag one down. But I thank goodness for the outlet writing gives me.

Hi
Thank you for sharing! The park sounds delightful and perfect for a summer stroll.
I’m behind on my year’s goal of finishing my novel but am confident I’ll complete it & rewrite it & send it out by Dec 31st.

Love From Canada
