Happy Monday! Monday Mishmash is a weekly meme dedicated to sharing what's on your mind. Feel free to grab the button and post your own Mishmash.
Here's what's on my mind today:
- Into the Fire Goodreads Giveaway Month9Books is offering 2 copies of Into the Fire on Goodreads. Go enter here!
- One Day, Two Releases Tomorrow (September 9th) I have two YA novels releasing—Into the Fire and Perfect For You. Both blog tours begin this week and there will be giveaways associated with the tours and a SWAG giveaway here on Friday.
- Editing Something must be in the air because I got six new editing jobs over the weekend and I was already in the middle of one at the time. This makes me happy. :)
- Renovations My house still isn't completely finished. *sigh* My downstairs is almost back together, and we had the electrical inspection for the upstairs. Now just framing and plumbing inspections and then we can finish the upstairs. This will eventually end, right?
- Reading My reading slowed down this summer so I'm now reading three books at once to try to catch up. Why is it that when I have more time for writing (during the school year) I feel like I have less time in my day as a whole?
That's it for me. What's on your mind today?
Congratulations on the releases.
ReplyDeleteThis week, well, I've been through my husband's crit of my novel (all amended and rewritten. I've chopped the very long chapters into more manageable lengths (we now have 31 chapters). This week, I'm going to make some changes that I noted as I was going through and then I'll start checking the dialogue of each character to make sure it's consistent. Should keep me busy for a while.
Have a great week.
Sounds like you're making great progress. :)
DeleteOn my mind today is figuring out a new writing schedule to mesh well with my work and family schedule. Will have to micromanage my blog posts and social media, budget edit & ebook formatting costs, etc
ReplyDeleteWow, you never cease to amaze me at everything you are able to accomplish in one week! Like your new bio, by the way. Hope you have a wonderfully productive week.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Karen! You too.
DeleteCongratulations on your releases, Kelly! You must be super excited. I wish you the best of luck with your blog tours and will pass word around as much as I can.
ReplyDeleteI've entered your giveaway on Goodreads for Into the Fire=)
I have a lot going on this week, including a press release, but will be ending it with a weekend away with the dear. We have a wedding to attend at one of our favorite shores=) Happy Monday!!
Enjoy your weekend! A getaway is always nice.

All that editing is going to keep you busy.
ReplyDeleteYes, it will. :)
DeleteWow on six more, that's great! Christmas is coming up, gotta make some money for all those presents, huh? *sigh...* ;)
ReplyDeleteExactly. And I should probably make some money to pay for finishing the upstairs we just put on our house. ;)

ReplyDeleteYes, that's true.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Stephanie!
DeleteLooks like a busy week ahead. Good. Congratulations on your books and on the editing jobs. Yes, one day your house will be complete and you can relax. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Beverly. I hope it's finished soon.
DeleteAbout the renovations- I promise *this project* will end. But then... there'll be others. (Sorry.) Houses are like people, they always need work, and there's always something.
ReplyDeleteHowever, you are well equipped to deal with whatever life throws you, since you are clearly not afraid of work. That's what your Mondays tell me.
No, I'm not afraid of work. I'd like to move on to new work though. ;)
DeleteWonderful things all around, and I hope the house gets done soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Medeia!
