What's Up Wednesday

This week...

My current WIP (work in progress): Revised two more chapters on paper. I need to type all the revisions I've done the last two weeks on to the laptop version. That's this week's goal.

Quote of the Week: "Life is like an auction. Whoever wants something enough to put forth the effort it takes to get it will win the auction." ~ Unknown

What I'm reading: I'll Never Let You Go by Mary Burton. This is the third book in the Morgans of Nashville series but the first book I've read in it. You don't have to read them in order because I would never have known it was part of a series if I hadn't looked up the author's back list.
 
Random things:  It's hard to believe that it's March already. Not that I'm complaining. I'm looking forward to spring and an end to snow and ice.

Random Photo of the Week:

                     Not a photo, but it made me laugh. Hope it makes you smile too.

What's Up Wednesday

Welcome to my first What's Up Wednesday post. Since this is the first one, I imagine these Wednesday posts will evolve over time. I'd love to hear any suggestions you might have.

My current WIP (work in progress): I'm about 75 pages into the second book of a series I'm writing. It's a contemporary with a touch of the paranormal.

News from the publishing world:  Publishers Weekly has unveiled a beta version of Booklife, a site focusing on self-publishing. Link: http://booklife.com/  While I haven't chosen the self-publishing route, I found this interesting.

Quote of the week:  "Failure? I never encountered it. All I ever met were temporary setbacks." ~ Dottie Walters

Health news: A new study published in the journal Nutrition states subjects who ate about an ounce and a half of chocolate per day had the lowest BMI, lower body fat, and a trimmer waist on average, than people who ate less. I don't eat a lot of chocolate, but it's good to know that when the mood strikes, I can indulge and know it's a good thing.

Random things: The strangest thing I found in my purse last week - a piece of chewed gum wrapped in a piece of paper. The boy child and I were out and about when he decided he was done with his gum. There were no trash cans so I gave him the paper to wrap it in, then stuck it into a small pocket inside my purse and forgot about it.

Random photo of the week:

This is a picture of my cat's paw next to a quarter from this past winter. He has 6 toes on each paw. As you can tell his feet are huge.
