Monday Check In

Last week...

Writing Related: I received my DBA certificate in the mail last week. Woohoo! I revised the last 60 pages of the book I'm working on now so I'm up to the point I left off writing it. I figure I have about 100 to 140 pages to write before the first draft will be completed. 

Motivational Quote: "It looks easy. But it's not. There's a lot of work and dedication." ~ Usain Bolt

What I'm Reading: I started reading The Forever Girl by Jill Shalvis on Friday. This is the sixth book in the Wildstone series.

Random Things: I came across a huge display of flower and vegetable seeds along with potting soil and little starter pots at the local grocery store. A happy sign that spring is coming.

What's Up Wednesday

This week...

My Current WIP (Work in Progress): I rewrote my blurb for Honor Bound. Four times. And I'm still not happy with it. I'm going to set it aside for a couple of days and hope one of the versions looks more promising with a few days' distance.

Quote of the Week: "It's always too early to quit." ~ Norman Vincent Peale
 
What I'm Reading: I finished reading "Almost Just Friends" by Jill Shalvis on Monday night. It's the fourth book in the Wildstone series, but works as a stand alone novel so if you haven't read any of the other books in the series, you won't feel lost.

Random Thoughts: I can't believe how fast January went by. Not that I'm complaining. I'm all for getting closer to spring and warm weather as fast as possible.
