Recovering

Well, the eight hour drive to my sister's wedding was interesting, but it was nice to hang out with family and friends that I haven't been seeing much of. I think I'm starting to get used to siblings marrying off (four down, two to go).

Heather was an absolutely beautiful bride, and the wedding at the park was just perfect. Some of the trees around the lake were blossoming with tiny white flowers, which meant there were tiny white petals all over the grass. The wind meant it was a little chilly, but the weatherman was wrong about rain - fortunately! We even made it home in one piece.

I was so frazzled at the end of April Camp Nanowrimo that I managed to leave the wedding present at home. Finally today I'm feeling like I've got two whole brain cells to rub together, which means I can take a look at what I actually managed to scribble out and make sure it's coherent before updating Blood Queen. The word "goal" also doesn't seem as daunting anymore, but I'm not quite ready to air those thoughts just yet.

One day at a time for the moment.

Tempus Fugit

Is it seriously June already? I blinked and missed most of May! I don't think I had a single quiet weekend this month, but I definitely managed to get some things done.

Blood Queen got a small update, and there's more on the way the moment I can manage to squeeze in some battle choreography, but the bigger news is: new covers for Night Dancers and Ever Dream! Both of them are already updated on Smashwords and Amazon, and the changes should be showing up on the other retailers soon. I'm especially thrilled with Night Dancers.

Isn't it awesome?

*Drumroll* I've also been looking at putting together a short story/novella anthology, which would include all the short stories I've independently published as well as a few new ones. That might end up being Camp Nanowrimo's July project. (Camp time again, already! Yikes!)

In other news, I'm about to be an aunt again! It's a boy. ^_^
