Friday Five

1. Today's my birthday! Happy birthday to me!





2. Well, the flu bug finally bit me. Ugh. Been fighting it but feel that it could have been tons worse if I didn't have my flu shot. The bug is really nasty. Stay healthy!

3. My virtual book blog tour starts tomorrow! I thought I'd celebrate my birthday with another tour.



Here's my stops:

4. Fun to get these books this week from the fab YA Books Central!



Yes, after I read the last Vampire Academy book? I'm so reading UNINVITED by Sophie Jordan. This book is getting some awesome reviews!

5. Also got a package of galleys from Chronicle books:



Love this publisher! There's a YA book with a twist on the Bronte sisters; a historical YA, and a YA set in the 1980s!


**Guilty pleasure:

For my birthday I'm going and getting a must needed facial which includes an arm and underbody massage. Plus, going to go to Cheesecake Factory and get a piece of nommy cheesecake!

Week #2 Revisions

Image
"I am hard at work on the second draft...Second draft is really a misnomer as there are a gazillion revisions, large and small, that go into the writing of a book." -Libba Bray Hi, everyone!  How did you do with your goals for last week?  I admit, I wasn't as good as I should have been.   But remember: Now that school and scoring tests is over, I can concentrate more on my writing. I noticed a number of you are working on revisions so I thought I'd make that our theme for this week. Is this you? Do you dread revising? Or do you have revision angst? I'm kind of in the middle.  I've been known to spend forever just on one paragraph to get it right.

“You can sit there, tense and worried, freezing the creative energies, or you can start writing something . It doesn't matter what. In five or ten minutes, the imagination will heat, the tightness will fade, and a certain spirit and rhythm will take over.” – Leonard Bernstein Welcome to: I admit it.  This last month I started off with the right intentions but my one part-time job held me back from doing all I wanted to do. I know, I know. For today I'll be using something out of THE POCKET MUSE by Monica Wood for an idea on how to help kick that muse into working. ...Set an egg timer for forty-five minutes, and don't get out of the chair until the timer dings.  Even if you sit starting at the page the entire time, you're ingraining a habit... What are some ways the rest of you help get the motivation feeling back? Remember I'm cheering for you! Also share what your weekly goals are this week.  Don't be shy! My goal is to finis
