When The Busy Catches Up
Like most writers, I’m not just a writer and an author. I’m a mom and a wife. I have a full time job in higher education (I am not a professor, although wouldn’t that be fun?) that this time of year becomes way busier than I think I can keep up with. I have multiple vegetable gardens, which are all now needing my attention for harvesting, and with that harvesting, a lot of preserving and putting up for winter. I like to read sometimes (books and magazines).
And somewhere in there I need to find time to write.
Which right now seems to be a real struggle. I get home from work later than I’d like, fix dinner, then finish up some work that I brought home, or some side work that have deadlines, then do some laundry, maybe make a grocery store run, and suddenly, it’s 11 p.m. and I need to get in bed! I get up at 4:30 or so and start all over again. This week has been especially bad.
And all of this leads to my saying: I got nuttin’ for y’all this week. I checked my list of blog ideas, hoping I could come up with something to write for this week, but the list is empty, as I’ve apparently used up all my ideas! I don’t remember using the last idea on the list, but I guess I did! So, this is a really lame blog post, and I apologize, but I promise to do better next week. And if you have any ideas for blog topics, I’d love to hear them! Yes, I’m just about that desperate!
Happy weekend, everyone!
Fairest of the Faire – available now!
Blurb:
Schoolteacher Connie Meyers is suddenly a young widow, her husband killed in a horrific car accident. Heartbroken to find out he had gambled away everything they had, she moves to her sister-in-law’s Midwest home to rebuild her life. A trip to the local Renaissance Faire with her nieces leads to a summer job as a costumed storyteller.
Avowed bad boy and fair performer Gage Youngblood is infatuated with Connie at first sight. Despite his deliberately commitment-free life, and Connie’s don’t-touch-me attitude, he soon has her in his arms, realizing quickly she is also in his heart.
When she is threatened by her late husband’s bookie, he steps into the role of protector, his fate forever sealed with hers.
