Complete!

Posted by Michelle on 31 Jan 2008 | Tagged as: Dusty Tome

Last night, I finished Take Me I’m Yours!
YEAH! It feels great to finish that book, even though I’m kind of sad. I’m going to miss Marion and Greame and Delilah. (But not Ethan because he’s a snake. hehe)
The total word count ended up at 51,248. Of course, that may change some some it’s off to [...]

Still Plugging Away

Posted by Michelle on 29 Jan 2008 | Tagged as: Dusty Tome

I managed another 1500 words today (rounding off), which pushes me over the 46K mark. I’m guessing there is about another 2000 words left for this story. Maybe more. I don’ t know. I keep changing my mind and adding more internal with my two characters. hehe
My goal is to finish by the end of [...]

Nearly done

Posted by Michelle on 28 Jan 2008 | Tagged as: Dusty Tome

Well I didn’t get back to the computer last night. I ended up having company, cooking Chickan Caccitore, and playing Wii. By the time all that was done and it was the kiddo’s bathtime and then I had to wash and dry his hair, read to him, and get him wound down for bed.
That was [...]

Close, but no cigar…

The kiddo decided he needed a nap (and boy did he! Talk about crankypants…), so I got to write!
1200 words this afternoon and I’m about one chapter shy of finishing. I wrote the big scene at the restaurant where Marion lets Ethan have it in front of the other patrons and then she and Delilah get into [...]

…for HELL in a handbasket!
Thursday went from relatively calm to that in 2.3 seconds. I’ve been working on placing some advertising for Engineers Week (yes, they have their own week - can you believe that? It’s February 17-23, so be sure and hug an engineer that week. If you can stand to get that close [...]

Ice Day?

Posted by Michelle on 24 Jan 2008 | Tagged as: Dusty Tome

The weather is saying it’s going to be icy in the morning. I guess we’ll see!
At any rate - we got the kid’s Colin Powell presentation done. It looks pretty smashing if I do say so myself!
Friday is still FREE BOOK FRIDAY. So be sure and comment to enter the contest to win a copy [...]

One of those days…

Do you ever wake up one morning and think, “This SUCKS.”
I did. I haven’t been sleeping well lately. So I’m rather cranky. I got up this morning and thought, I hate my clothes. I hate my car. I hate my job.
Okay, maybe hate is a strong word. Let’s just say I had a serious strong [...]
