Friday 1.23 Progress

Today I accomplished...nothing, writing-related, anyway. ;) But I saw Underworld: The Rise of The Lycans, which got my mind whirling! Even though I haven't seen the first two, I really enjoyed it (and promptly went out to buy the first two movies.) I've never been into werewolves, but this movie hooked me from start to finish. Of course, then I went to JCPenney and got a story idea that I'd love to pursue. So is the life of a writer. :)

Tomorrow, I will do my VT synopsis, and that'll finish my goals for the week. Till then, I'm heading to bed with the latest Kresley Cole novel. Good stuff!

Thursday 1.22 progress...and a great book!

I finally critiqued the chapters I owed one of my CPs tonight, so I met one of my Bonus Goals for the week. Just one left - my synopsis for VT - but I left the icky one for last. While I kinda like doing query letters, I'm not a fan of synopsises. But it's only 2 pages, so I'll get it done. Then I'll probably collapse, although I'm hoping to see the third Underworld movie this weekend before I do so. ;)

Instead of a picture of Henri (sorry!) I'm featuring my friend and CNYRW chaptermate's debut release from The Wild Rose Press. Meltdown by Susan St. Thomas is going on my must read list, and it comes out tomorrow, 1.23!



If you need something to warm up your chilly winter nights (and we sure do here) be sure to pick up a copy!

Want to know more about Meltdown? Here's the blurb:

Reliving the magical night before his deployment when he and Cassie Hamilton were lovers had kept Evan Jorgenson sane while fighting in Iraq. Years later, when they meet again at a Lake Placid bar, he's immediately drawn to her. He's still seeing the ghosts of his soldiers and hearing the enemy approach. She deserves more than a shell-shocked soldier, but Cassie's in danger. Before long, he's protecting her from a stalker, dodging bullets, and jeopardizing not only his job as a NYS police officer, but a dream promotion. And he's more in love with her than ever. If only she'd trust him and talk about what happened in L.A....

After a year with no calls or letters from Evan, a disheartened Cassie moved to L.A. There she met a dangerous man, and more than dreams were lost. Now back home, she opens a chocolate shop to rebuild her life, but her troubles in L.A. have followed her to Central NY. And there's only one man that can help her out of this mess. But Cassie has a secret bigger than nibbling Hershey's chocolate kisses while she works.

When Evan discovers her real secret, will he put aside his pride and follow his heart, or will he leave her again?

Wednesday 1.21 Progress

I revised another 40 pages of Insatiable today, in preparation for getting them out the door for critique. Still need to get cracking on those bonus goals, which I will accomplish this week.

Coffee's gone. Now I need a nap...and a little more Henri...
