Overwhelmed and Loving It.

[image error]

Post-its. The greatest invention.

I would like to believe that I am the kind of person who would love nothing better than to have nothing to do.  To be able to say, I have nothing due, no pressing projects, no financial worries, no books to read, no movies in my queue, nothing to post. And if this happened, I would like to believe that I would be able to relax.  Unfortunately, empirical evidence shows this hypothesis to be absolutely false.

I am the type of person who, upon completion of a project, immediately has to fill the void left by the project.  This is unrelated to how many other projects I happen to be working on at any given point in time.  Case in point:  I turned in a project at the beginning of January.  Which made me feel very good.  Very fulfilled.  Do I take the opportunity in my slightly lightened schedule to, say, put a dent in my next novel, who's due date is rapidly approaching?  Do I pre-write all my blogs for my Bonanza Blog Tour for the release of If I Fall on April 3rd?  Do I prepare my tax returns?

NO.  Of course not!  Why would I do something as silly as all that?  Instead, what I've done is pitched a new project to my reps, started taking pottery classes, planned a trip to Peru, and begun putting together a business plan for Super Sekrit Awesome Project (which I hope to tell you about in the near future.)

The truth of the matter is, its been a long time since I've had nothing to do.  So long in fact, I do not know if I could function without a minimum level of things to juggle at any given time.  And… I like it.  Life is too short to not have anything to do.  I wouldn't have it any other way.

Not a lot going on this week — other than the crazy that is my normal. BUT, in the very near future, I am going to be visiting a few fabulous friends' blogs — including the incomparable Sarah MacLean.  And don't forget about my BRAND NEW website contest!  You could win an autographed copy of your choice of my backlist — and there is a brand new winner chosen every two weeks, so there are loads of chances to win!

Until next time sweets, Happy Reading!
