Yes, that line was from the worst movie in the Godfather trilogy but I had to come up with something to describe my current frame of mind.
Just when I finished Switchcraft, I’m in deep with revisions to a novella I wrote last summer. It’s not too bad considering that I was in the last trimester of my pregnancy. But I have those too-many-espressos jitters without having inbibed any coffee today. This seems to be a regular pattern when I start or restart a story. Could I be physically addicted to writing?
Anyway, the coolest thing happened to me today! I went to the Borders store at South Coast Plaza to sign stock and Will, the sales manager, went on the store intercom to tell everyone about my book. Woo hoo! I admit that I did the “aww shucks” squirm while my husband smiled proudly and the Little Dude cruised in his stroller. But inside, I was eating it up!
By the way, if you haven’t been to my website lately, check it out. I posted a deleted scene from Hot Tamara, starring Isa, my heroine from In Between Men. Also, I’m scheduled for some book signings and I hope you’ll stop by!
Finally, the Fabulous Dana Diamond interviewed me for OCC RWA’s Orange Blossom magazine and part of that interview is now on her blog and at The Writer’s Vibe.
Cheers!
