Monday Check In

Last week...

Writing Related:  I had a better writing week last week despite having appointments that ate into my writing time. I have one additional appointment this week, but that's it so I'm hoping to get even more written this week.

Motivational Quote:  "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'm reading Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez. It's the third book in the Part of Your World series. I've enjoyed all of Ms. Jimenez's books that I've read so far. 

Random Thoughts:  It's hard to believe it will be May in a couple of days. The last few months seemed to drag for me, probably because of my fall resulting in the fractured ribs  which seem to be finally healed. I rarely get any pain from them now, just an occasional twinge depending on what I'm doing.

Writing Related: I'm still wrestling with the blurb (or back cover copy) for Mississippi's story. I feel like it's missing something that I can't seem to put my finger on. I'm still trying to settle on a title as well. Every one I come up with doesn't seem quite right.

What I'm Reading: I've just started Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez. It's the second book in the Part of Your World series. I loved the first book so am looking forward to reading this one. 

Random Things: It's going to hot and humid this week (again) so I bought the ingredients to make Sunflower ice cream. I have a Cuisinart ice cream maker that I haven't used in a couple of years so I figured I'd put it to use and enjoy a refreshing treat on these hot summer days.

Writing Related: I received the new laptop battery last Thursday so that's taken care of. I didn't get much accomplished on Ivan's story last week, but I actually have nothing going on after work this week so I plan on using all that time to get major work done on the book.

What I'm Reading: I finished Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez last night. This is the first book I've read by Ms. Jimenez. I enjoyed it so much that I'm going to check out her backlist.

Random Things: Promises To Keep received a 4 star review from The TBR Pile last week. Here's the link to the review if you want to check it out. Promises To Keep Review   You do have to scroll down past the book advertisement to get to the review.

Somebody has been very restless the last few nights either keeping me awake or waking me up multiple times during the night. Then as soon as the alarm goes off, he goes downstairs, gets on his blanket bed and goes to sleep.
