Monday Check In

Last week...

Writing Related: I'm waiting for the feedback from my beta readers on Promises to Keep so I didn't do any actual writing last week. Instead I worked on the blurb for the next book in the series so I can include it in the back of Promises to Keep when it's published.

What I'm Reading: I'm still reading Locked and Loaded by Mandy Baxter. I'm trying hard to finish it, but I keep picking up other things to read instead. 

Random Things: My nephew bought a rose bush for my mom's birthday last summer. We stayed up on the porch (fully masked) while he planted it in the yard. I was worried it wouldn't survive the winter because it was so small. I'm happy to say not only did it survive last winter, it's blooming like crazy. I've put a picture below.

Last week...

Writing Related:  I did it. I finished Promises to Keep. About three weeks behind schedule, but it's done! I sent it out to beta readers yesterday. Hopefully they won't find too much that will need to be revised so I can get any changes done within a couple of days.

What I'm Reading: I've been reading Locked and Loaded by Mandy Baxter for the last week or so. I'm finding it slow going. Maybe because it's the 5th book in the series and I don't believe I've read any of the earlier books in the series. 

Random Things: I got a new car a couple of weeks ago. The lease on my old car was ending. I couldn't wait to get rid of it. I live in an area that gets a lot of snow and the way the car was designed, the windshield wipers could only be lifted about two inches off the windshield so it was really difficult to get all the ice and snow cleaned out from under them. I didn't realize it when I first leased it, but I sure found out about it the first time it snowed. When I purchased my new car, the first thing I did was make sure I could lift the wipers completely off the windshield.
