Writing Related: Had a pretty good writing week last week. I need to contact my cover artist to get on her schedule for the cover of Caine's book. I've already booked my editor so I need to get my butt in gear to make sure the manuscript is ready for her by the time I'm supposed to send it to her.

What I'm Reading: I'll be starting Pretend You're Mine by Lucy Score tonight.
Random Thoughts: I'm trying to decide if I want to cut my hair this summer. It's nearly to my waist and I almost always wear it tied up in the warm weather so why not get it cut shorter. I can't seem to make up my mind - one day I'm going to cut it, the next day I'm not going to cut it. I don't have any real reason to hurry to make a decision since it's been cool and rainy lately.

Writing Related: Still working on Caine's story. I didn't meet my Camp NaNoWriMo goal, but I did write 20k in April so I'm okay with not meeting the goal. I wasn't too far off considering I had some unexpected things crop up.
Motivational Quote: I'm repeating the quote from a couple of weeks ago since I have a lot going on this week and am not sure how much writing I'm going to get done. The quote is a good reminder that some words written is better than no words written. "Always look for the thing you CAN do, with the energy and focus you DO have. Little wins pay the way for bigger wins. 1% beats 0%." ~ Glenn Patrick Doyle
What I'm Reading: I started Rock Bottom Girl by Lucy Score this past weekend. I'm liking it so far, but I'm only a few chapters into the book.
Random Thoughts: Ugh! Can I complain about the weather? I try not to, but we've had so much rain lately. We had more rain in the month of April than we've had in years. Unfortunately, May looks like it's going to be the same way. I'm hoping a change in the weather pattern will move all the rain out of my area for at least the next few days.
