No Post Today

Sorry. No post today. I'm working to finish up the last of my revisions before sending my manuscript off to the editor at the end of the week.

This I Know For Sure...

I'm impatiently waiting for Spring. I'm so ready for warm sunny days with temperatures in 60's or higher. I'm so very tired of rain one day, snow the next, then one sunny day and it's back to rain and snow. I'm trying not to complain because as far as winters go, this one has been the third mildest winter we've ever had in my area.  We usually average over 100 inches of snow each winter season and so far we have about 48 inches so it's definitely not something to complain about.

  But I'm so ready for Spring.

What I'm Reading Wednesday...Or Not

I'm knee deep in revisions for a manuscript that is due in about a week and a half so I'm not doing too much pleasure reading. About the only thing I've read in the past week or so is the local newspaper each day.

Once I turn in my ms, I plan on taking a trip to the library and stocking up on some great books and doing nothing but read (after I get home from the day job of course) for a couple of weeks. I call it feeding the creative well. I'm really looking forward to it.  I never realized how much I'd miss reading a book on a daily basis.

Looking for Inspiration

I'm nearly done with revisions on my current work in progress (WIP).  Okay, I will have them done by the end of the month and a new story is already percolating away in my brain. The problem is I'm having a hard time visualizing my hero.  I have his name -- James "Jimmy" Martin -- but no clue what he looks like.

Should he have blond hair?  Should it be short?

Or long?

Should he have short dark hair?

Or long?

Blue eyes?

Or green eyes?

Well, what do you think?  I'd love to hear your thoughts.

This I Know For Sure...

Not being able to watch TV can ruin your night.  I don't think I watch a lot of TV but I do try to watch the local and world news every evening. (Ok, I like to watch Castle, Person of Interest, and Body of Proof every week but I DVR them and watch them on Sunday afternoons with my family.) For the last two weeks, every night about 5:40 pm we lose our cable connection and end up with either a completely black screen while the cable box reboots itself endlessly or the TV picture is so pixelated you can't even see what is supposed to be on the screen. This lasts until 10:00 pm or after.

After 4 visits by technicians throughout this week to correct the problem, the last visit last night at 7:00pm, I'm hoping the problem has finally been fixed. It seemed to be working okay but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

For someone who doesn't watch a lot of TV, I was surprised how much it bothered me that I couldn't watch the news.  Thank goodness I have the newspaper delivered to the house or I'd have no idea what was going on in the world.

What I'm Reading Wednesday

I just finished reading Until There Was You by Kristan Higgins last night.  It was the first book I'd read by Kristan and would definitely read more of her work.

I'm not currently reading anything research related. I'm working feverishly on final revisions for my current WIP that is due to my editor the first week of March.
