Boo Hoo, I lost my writing streak on here. That tells you, I've been busy writing. I'm in a lull right now, so I'll try to catch up here. That doesn't mean I won't be writing today. I most definitely will. It just means that right now the two books I'm working on to complete this year are being quiet right now. I'm working on a book I want to publish next year. It's time I got this one edited and ready, so that's what I started working on yesterday. It's called Ecstasy. It's been a while since I touched this one. The editing is going well. Other than that, the end of the month is coming up soon. I'm not even close to payout, but if it happens, it will be a surprise. Though I should make the payout next month. I have a very important retreat coming up two weeks from today. I'm totally excited. The 50+ Retreat happens from the 10th to the 12th of September. I've been planning what I need to take with me. My first year I only took my pillow and paid for the bedding. I also didn't have a USB outlet for my phone. I also forgot soap. I thought it was provided in the bathrooms. The second year I got a sleeping bag from my sister and bought a blanket and stocking hat. I was glad I had my warmest hoodie with me. It was the coldest three days, and then when I got home it warmed up. Go figure. I also had a USB plug and remembered all the necessary toiletry items, not just my toothbrush. This year I'm planning the sleeping bag, blanket, pillow, a tray table and a lamp that has two USB ports on it. That will take care of all my USB needs. I'm thinking about taking my tablet, but since that thing drives me insane, I might leave it home. I could take my laptop, that drives me less insane than the tablet. We'll see what happens. I'm also taking my winter jacket. I'm not taking chances with the weather this time, especially since it will be a week later than last year. Also coming up in September is Writer's Guild on the first. I'm doing the education segment. I don't know what possessed me to raise my hand to do it, but we'll see how it goes. My topic is Research and I'm completely ready for it. I'm going to shake like a lone leaf on a tree in fall. Okay, that's what's up and coming. If everything works the way I want it, I'll have two books finished and two books ready to publish by the end of the year so I can publish next year. There might be three books ready to publish. We'll see. I've been editing Firestorm and Dear Diary along with the one I started yesterday - Ecstasy. In case you're counting that will equal 16 published books when those three are published. Then I will slow down. It's going to be a while before I have anymore books ready to publish. What won't slow down is my writing. What's on your agenda? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. The oil lamps were given to me by my son's girlfriend. Aren't they gorgeous?
