Monday Mishmash 12/22/14


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:
  1. Blog Post Fail  Okay, so it's 6:57am when I'm typing this because I forgot to schedule my post. Yup. I'm crazy busy and I just forgot. But look, the world didn't end. ;)
  2. Editing  I'm editing The Darkness Within right now, along with a book for a client. Great way to end the year if you ask me.
  3. Christmas  We are almost ready to have a houseful on Christmas. Things are coming together, yet every project seems to cause another, so we'll see. 
  4. Reviewing  I read and reviewed some really great books lately, including Medeia Sharif's Vitamins and Death (highly recommended) and Icy Pretty Love by L.A. Rose.
  5. Hoping for a better 2015  Between having my entire house gutted this year (hello expensive!), having some publishing issues, and some other personal stuff, 2014 was not a good year for me. I'm already looking forward to ringing in the new year.
That's it for me. What's on your mind today?

    Hope the new year is better to you than this one has been. Maybe with all the construction mess behind you, you'll make up for lost time in you all new surroundings.
    May you have a happy new year!

    Thank you for recommending my book. :)

    I hope 2015 is better, although you had amazing releases this year. I'm looking into remodeling in a few years and I know it'll be life-altering.

      You're welcome. It's such a great book.

      Remodels are tough, though having my entire house remodeled isn't the norm so it was worse than usual. I think you'll be okay.

    I panic when I forget to get a post ready- but have realized I am the only one is concerned. :) The world doesn't end! I am hoping that 2015 is a better year for you! Happy Holidays.

      Christmas was great. Thanks! The renovations are so close to being finished. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just the bathroom and railing need to be finished. :)

      Happy New Year!

    I schedule all my blogs to post in advance, too--and if one fails, I wake up and think, "Wait...what happened?!" Hope you had a great Christmas. I'm still trying to catch up!

      Yeah, sometimes I think scheduled one when really I saved it as a draft and then I wake up to find it didn't post.
