Wow, what happened to the last few months?

Seeing the date on my last blog post...sheesh. Okay, so since then I've written my book, and now just finished the second round of edits. I *love* this book. Considering that the two main characters weren't even people I'd planned to feature, well, that's just the way the muse goes. She was right, considering how much fun I had writing it.

I also had to read a bucketful of books for a contest, but unfortunately I didn't love most of them. ::SIGH:: And being an author, I just can't post a negative review. I mean, I know we can't please everyone. I've come to terms with that, but not all authors have. So I'm a softy, what can I say?

Well, back to work! My boss is a real bee-atch, don't you know!

Good news/Bad news

The good news is that I just got the okay on my revised proposal to jump on writing book 4 of my Offspring series. Yahoo! I've been jonesing to write this book, which is funny because neither of the main characters was on my "main character" radar when I first conceived my series. That's the fun of writing a series!

The bad news is I don't read fiction while I'm writing. Time is the biggest factor. But there's that osmosis thing, too. I don't want to absorb someone else's style/words/etc. into my writing. Horrors!

I look longingly at my TBR shelf...we shall meet again, another day soon. I can't wait!

Cheers,
Jaime
