1. What I’m reading: Right now, I’m just
starting Mocking Jay. I’ve read it before, but I tend to re-read things I
really like. I am looking for another few books to read while I’m waiting for
Alex Cavanaugh’s CassaStar to be released. Any suggestions?
2. What I’m writing: This week I’m going over my editor’s final
edits for Bashan Agenda, which is scheduled to be released November 1st,
so I need to get working on them. And, of course, I’m writing my 500 word short
story for my blogfest on Monday. If you haven’t signed up yet, now’s your
chance.
3. What else I’ve been up to:
School starts next week, so any meeting, any appointment, anything and everything,
I’ve got crammed into this week so I’ll be able to give my full attention next
week to where it belongs. Aka: A lot of craziness in the Schulz household right
now. I never knew I could be so productive. Keep that under wraps by the way, I
don’t want my family thinking I can go like this all the time.
4. What’s inspiring me right now:
Last night I sat out on my front porch and closed my eyes and listened to it
rain. It was a slow, steady, healing
sound; just what I needed to hear with all my aforesaid craziness. That’s what’s
inspiring me I guess. That somewhere out there, there is something steady.
What are you up to this Wednesday?
Don't forget to sign up for my blogfest!
Deep breath - next week will turn out fine.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're excited about my book! Hope it doesn't disappoint.
I love listening to rain, it's so calming :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck working on your final edits.
I need to sit and listen to the rain. For reading suggestions, I just read Scorched by Mari Mancusi and All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill & Deception by C.J. Redwine. All are very good. I'll be interviewing Alex and giving away an ARC of his book on 9/16 if you're interested.
ReplyDeleteDo I have any suggestions... Is the moon made of cheese? Name your mood and I'll give you ten--but right now I'm thinking Michael Vey. Oh my goodness, what an awesome series. We are anxiously awaiting the release of book #3 next month.
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of rain. Growing up in Oregon, I heard a lot of it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to be around much on Monday so I'll miss the blogfest. I love going over final edits and listening to the rain. Good luck with all the craziness.
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of rain too, though I don't like being rained on. :) I've always wanted to have my own front porch, as well as a porch swing. Then, like you, I'll be able to sit outside even when it rains. It does seem like everything gets more chaotic once school starts. That's why I wish that summer didn't have to end.
ReplyDeleteRight now I'd recommend reading The School of Good and Evil. It's an MG, but it's so cute. I ate it up in a day.
ReplyDeleteI love rain at night. It's knocks me right out.
ReplyDeleteI'm also looking forward to the blogfest next week.
I should re-read books more. I never re-read books as a rule, not just because my TBR is the size of Mississippi, but also because, well, I don't know.
ReplyDeleteGreat. Now I have to figure it out :)
What wouldn't I give to hear a long healing soaking rain? In my dreams...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post. Looks like a nice week. Great on your writing.
ReplyDeleteENJOY the rest of the week.

Listening to the rain sounds awesome right now. Interestingly enough, it's been raining plenty here, but when it does, it hails and thunders constantly. Not exactly the peaceful type of listening experience...
ReplyDeleteI am up to not much. Just finished a quilt and turned it into the quilt shop to be quilted. It is hot hot hot. Oh, for a few drops of rain.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading The Returned by Jason Mott. Very interesting plot and premise. Some interesting moral issues too!

I reread Jane Austen a lot. And I've reread Neverwhere by Gaiman. Oh, and Anne of Green Gables a gazillion times. Right now I'm reading, Zelfar the Discovery, by Ruth Colter.
