Posts Tagged ‘October’

Am I the only one who can’t believe this year is disappearing so rapidly? Where has it gone?

But autumn has always been my favorite time of the year, so I can’t really complain. It just seems the year has flown by at a breakneck speed

What plans do you have for this autumn? When I was growing up, it was always a busy time. We had a large garden, so we were trying to get everything in and preserved before winter hit. And then there were the wild grapes to pick, not to mention the crab apples…

Have you ever had pickled crab apples? If not, you have missed a wonderful treat. I haven’t seen any around here, more’s the pity. We had a couple trees all the way at the back of one of our big fields. Right at the edge of the woods, the old trees gave us plenty of the sour little apples to pickle for later in the year. They were perfect by the time Thanksgiving rolled around.

Around here, the apples are just coming in and everyone is getting ready for the hayrides and corn mazes. Me and mazes don’t get along. I mean seriously, I can get lost in my own woods. I have no sense of direction whatsoever. Are you more like me or my husband, who spent most of his life always knowing where north was.

I’m about to finish the edit on Whiskey Jug Genie, so watch for it later this fall. Who doesn’t love a story about a genie? Come join me for this crazy, magical tale!

Watch here for release dates of Whiskey Jug Genie and Ben of Blackstone’s Forge!

And as always,

Don’t forget…

I was just getting used to it being September, but then there was so much going on in September, I’m not a bit surprised. Between two weddings and a birthday, plus all the usual things going on around here, I felt like the Red Queen in Through the Looking-Glass last month.

So far,October has been a little slower, if a little more frustrating. Due to a fall in a parking lot, I’m now wearing this fashionable splint because of a fractured patella. I don’t think the break hurts as much as all the traumatized muscles and abrasions. Once I’m up for a little while, I do pretty well. But after I’ve been sitting down for a little while, all those muscles complain as loudly as they can at being asked to work again.

But what about writing, you ask. I’ve been working on Unwilling Soulmates, as far as writing, and we’re up to 91,000 words. All I have left to write is the wedding scene, which shouldn’t take too long. And then the first read-through before the editing begins.These two have been quite a challenge, and have very specific ideas about how this story should go, starting with one who didn’t like his name…

And now I have a question for you.

What would you like to see in my posts? Little snippets of my work in progress? Bits from already published works, aside from teh excerpts on the other page here? More about my writer’s life?

Drop me a comment and let me know what you think. I’ll probably be doing a little more writing while this knee and I sort out our differences.

In the meantime,

Don’t Forget…
