Just another day in the life:
- ___ wrote 1500 words on the book-in-progress
- ___ interviewed a chef for my next book
- ___ answered 40 e-mails, deleted around 100 unanswered
- ___ made a fleece jacket for Barkis
- ___ talked to Mom, daughter & sister on the phone
- ___ unpacked from booksigning trip last weekend, repacked for booksigning and writers’ conference this weekend.
- ___ got a royalty check for some backlist titles (thank you, Hachette)
- ___ went to the bank, went shopping (see above)
- ___ made a couple of bestseller lists with the new book
- ___ Oh, and another thing, drove the boat up onto the trailer. Why yes, that is me at the helm. What else am I going to do in all my spare time?
It is like threading a camel through the eye of a needle. Really. Except that making a mistake is a bit more expensive.

Whew! Busy day, or maybe typical for you? Is it difficult to set-up interviews for research? That sounds stimulating, fun, and interesting. As one small part of my day I’ve been trying to figure out what to buy with the gift card I one during the Lakeshore Christmas trivia give away. I can’t tell you how much fun it is to be having a virtual stroll through the aisles of “your” bookstore. What to buy – that’s the hardest part, but what a delightful dilemma to be in. Thanks Susan!! Have a relaxing evening.

Please tell me I didn’t write “one” for “won.” I’m getting soooooo old, and feeble-minded! Forgot to mention that it’s Eagle Harbor Book Company (I hope I’m allowed to say that here) – perhaps a book on keeping those gray cells from shrinking and dying……

Wow, you are one busy lady, I feel decidedly lazy reading the list of your activities for one day! I think if I tried putting a boat in it’s trailer like that I’d be on “Funniest Home Videos” it would be quite hilarious – you’re a woman of many talents Susan!:)
