My brain is exploding!

I have changed shifts at my regular paying job. From mornings to nights. The hope is to have more "morning time" to write. I find I'm much more creative in the mornings than after a full day of work and the drama that entails. However, My body is vehemently protesting the change.

Working with my husband on the final edit of "Stone City" ( I love my husband and appreciate his help BUT he is a bit anal retentive at times) and my graphic artist on the cover ( whom I adore but as with all artist, myself included, she's a bit flighty and overly critical of her own work).

I am making plans for a short writing trip to Missouri (escaping out into the boondocks). I'm looking for peace and quiet, with few distractions, to connect better with the life and times on Terra. The plans just to get there, ugh! Rent a car, dog sitter and all the food, treats and medications ( she's an old dog) bedding and comfort toys, and then all the things for me to do; hold on paper and mail, making sure I have no deliveries scheduled during that time, taking care of laundry so I have plenty of clothes I can pack and making sure prescriptions are refilled, wouldn't want to run out of my meds. it's enough to make your head swim!

I will be signing and selling my book at the Authorpalooza Oct. 20 At the Hyatt Regency (Wichita, Kansas from 1-5) as part of the Kansas Library Associations annual conference. Had to get a card reader so I can take plastic. Simple enough task until you get into the research and set up options etc.

And all the filmy wisps of ideas for book three are starting to congeal as I begin the next addition in the "From Earth to Terra" saga.

Not to mention( but I will) on the last leg of my weight loss program (lost 73 pounds , have a dozen more to go).

I believe I'm on the tipping point. If I have one more thing added to my 'to do' list my brain WILL explode, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
