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:
- Horrible Internet Connection My internet has only been working when it feels like it, so getting online has been sporadic at best. If you are waiting to hear from me, I apologize. I'm trying to get this fixed today, but you know how that goes with phone companies. If I'm delayed in responding to comments or commenting on your blog, you know why.
- January Feature on Megan McDade's Blog The very awesome Megan McDade is going to feature me on her blog in January and is asking people to comment on her post right now with questions you'd like me to answer. So I'd love it if you dropped by Megan's blog to leave me a question. You can find her blog here.
- Editing I finished a revision on my latest Ashelyn Drake manuscript, so I'm back in editing mode and working on client edits this week.
- Remodeling We finally finished painting the addition we put on the house. The countertop people are coming Tuesday (after canceling on us last week). Next up is flooring upstairs. We're getting close!
- Catching Up on My Reading I'm all caught up on reading the books I promised to review. Yay! Most recently, I finished An Absence of Light by Meradeth Houston and Rite of Rejection by Sarah Negovetich. Both were amazing!
That's it for me. What's on your mind today?
I'm still writing the first draft of my second novel via NaNoWriMo. About to start the final lookover of my first novel before submitting it for a manuscript assessment. Apart from that, preparing for Christmas which is scarily close now.
ReplyDeleteI WAS ahead on Christmas shopping, but now it's mid-November and I'm still shopping so…yeah.
DeleteI have to catch up on my word count for my NF book for NaNoFiWriMo. And I have a short story idea brewing inspired by my own clumsiness of hurting my foot 3x this weekend.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the internet people (that's got to be frustrating!) and the rest of your remodeling! And thanks a million for your review!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThey are sending me new equipment, so I'm stuck with this awfulness until the end of the week. :(
DeleteMe,too, catching up on reading. I don't know if that's truly possible, but I have a book for the plane journey home. But there is writing ... what to do!? I feel your pain re: the internet. We're junkies..
ReplyDeleteYup, total junkies. :)
DeleteWhenever I have issues with the internet, it drives me crazy! Almost as crazy as remodeling. Good luck, Kelly! This week, I'm finishing a novel in another genre up. It's been freeing and tons of fun to write something completely different. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteIt is fun to write something different. Good luck with it!
DeleteI love the smell of a freshly painted room! Sounds like you're making some serious progress. :)
ReplyDeleteYes. I'll be so happy when this is finished.
DeleteMy internet is buggy too. But I'm pretty sure we're not on the same system. Good luck with your tasks for the week.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Johnell!
DeleteIsn't that just the way with internet connections?
ReplyDeleteYup. It really is.
DeleteGlad you're getting close on the remodel being done! And thumbs down on internet problems, those are the worst. And I've not heard of Megan's blog, so yay, always love finding new favs!
ReplyDeleteMegan is amazing. Definitely check her out.
DeleteWhat would we do without the internet? It's a godsend except when it's not. Hope it starts being reliabl for you, but if not, you have a great reason to catchup on your reading. Have a good week, Kelly.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you think, Sherry. :)
DeleteCongrats on getting close to finishing up the house, Kelly! I'm sure that is a weight off your shoulder.
ReplyDeleteI hate when our internet goes down. Doesn't happen often but it's a real pain when it does.
I'm also catching up on my reading. I have so many books on my TBR but I am currently reading Quanie's The New Mrs. Collins and I love it so far!
Yeah, it's finally starting to come together. The guy is here now measuring for my countertop. It will be nice to have my kitchen back in a few weeks.
DeleteYay for enjoying Quanie's book!
Bad internet connection is a pain. I hope you can get it fixed soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteOh, I finished my 16g data cap and was without internet!
ReplyDeleteEek!
DeleteSorry to hear your internet connection is still spotty. Sounds like you have been being productive without the internet. :)
ReplyDelete~Jess
Trying to. :)
