I’m starting to get a little rambly with the shutdown. And I was pretty bad for rambling on and on even before the pandemic restrictions…
Anyhoo, I’m finally getting caught up on everything that got pushed to the wings when I was working the full-time day job and trying to write full-time on top of that.
I finally found enough time to squeeze some reading in: Beautiful Darkness by Jay Wilburn (which I read in order to review on Madness Heart Press) and so that may be posting sometime soon (at that website’s/publisher’s discretion, of course).
And manage my social media on top of all of that. But now I have plenty of time to waste! Well, not really, as I seem to be even busier than before the day job.
When I’m not wasting time pining over homes for sale on Old House Dreams and Circa Homes, I am spending more time than I should on Goodreads. I love that site almost more than reading everybody’s blogs. If I didn’t set a timer, I could spend hours there reading reviews and checking out new books…
But, I got my middle grade horror/suspense manuscript back from the editor (Lady Knight Editing: https://ladyknightediting.com/) and so it’s back to the grind on the next round of edits and rewrites. Hopefully (ha ha :-p) I’ll be done in time for #PitMad.
So, I’ll have to start minding my “Ps & Qs” on my blog, and work on my blog’s tone so that it can also appeal to a younger audience. But maybe by then, I’ll be able to get a custom website to go with the book’s release.
And it’s time to go shopping, pandemic-style, soon. And who doesn’t want a kitty-cat mask to wear out and about?
Other than that, I’ve been re-watching Psych, and I just love Dulé Hill for the class and polish (well, mostly!) he brings to counteract James Roday’s goofball character.
And, that’s it. That’s enough rambling. Gotta go order supplies for my spoiled, fat, ex-feral kitties. And get back to writing and editing and snacking in-between!
Good luck editing your work! I’ve been ordering groceries online and it’s taking almost a week to get them. It’s so stressful!! Of course I had to hunt down cat food online because everybody was out.

I actually placed my first order with them the other day. They were out of a lot of stuff, too, but I was still able to get everything I needed. 🙂

It’s so cool that you love Psych! I do too! I watched it religiously when it was on USA and even catch the movies they do once in a blue moon. Good luck with editing your book. Can’t wait to read it 🙂
Keep smiling,

I have so many favorite episodes! The summer camp comes to mind where they were paying homage to Friday the 13th.

Ha, yes, the murder camp! Too funny! On Old House Dreams every so often, I see listings for places that used to be a summer camp, and I think of that episode every time? What better place to be a horror writer, eh? Or writers’ retreats for horror writers/spec fic writer?s…LOL Thanks for visiting!
