Manic Monday

I'm pleased to report that I finished the revisions on my YA novel, and I just have to do one final read-through before I email it off to the two agents who requested the full manuscript. I also read the first 15 pages of the novella that I'm working on for the Brava contest and is so does not suck as much as I thought it did. Although I realize from reading a couple of novellas, that I need to open it with more of a bang so to speak. So back to the drawing board. I'm hoping to have it finished by the end of the month so that I can finish the other YA that I started.

I've been quite the busy social bee as well attending benefits and an auction preview. The benefit was awesome, although I'm come to the conclusion that I know I'm a writer because when crappy stuff happens I think, I'm so using this in a book. The auction preview was better, although drinking 4 glasses of champagne before my night job and then having to watch NUMBERs was not a good idea.

We had our chapter brunch on Saturday, with Lauren Willig, the author of History of the Pink Carnation as our guest speaker. She was so adorable I couldn't hate her for being 30. Once again, sucked down the champagne (what can I say I'm a sucker for it, just like the cutie holding the glass from Woody Allen's Match Point. His name is Matthew Goode, and he's scruptilicious).

Have to finish working on expense reports for my day job since I'm finished my revisions, and then it's back to the quill and paper.

Thanks for reading,
